Objectives: Resently Oxidative stress of brain was proved the cause of Alzheimer and stroke sequel. It has important significance in prevention and treatment of cerebropathia that Bulnohwan used as formula of senescence delay have antioxidative effect. The purposes of this study is to investigate the effect of Bulnohwan on antioxidant defense systems such as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT), Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), Glutathione S-transperase (GST), Glutathione (GSH) in rat brain. Method: Sprague - Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups; saline solution administered control group, Bulnohwan extract administered Experimental group I and Bulnohwan adminisrtrated, 40% dietary restricted Experimental group II. Animals were sacrificed at 12 weeks after treatment TBARS, SOD, CAT, GSH-PX, GST and GSH were measured in mts brain. Results: weight of brain was no stastical significance.(p>0.05) TBARS contents were significant decrease in Experimental group I, II. (p<0.001) SOD activity was stastical significance in Experimental group II, whereas it was no stastical significance Experimental group II.(p<0.0001) Catalase activites were significant increase in . (p<0.00l) Glutathione Peroxidase activites were significant increase in Experimental group I,II. (p<0.000l) Glutathione S-transferase activites were significant increase in Experimental group I, II. (p<0.000) However there were no statistical significance each other. Glutathione contents were significant increase in Experimental group I, II. (p<0.00l) Conclusions: According to the above results, it is considered that Bulohwan has antioxidants effect in rat brain. When Bulohwan goes with diet restriction, there has more Antioxidants effect in rat brain. but this study was perfored retrospectively. So more prospective studies about mutual relation of drugs are needed
