Abstract:
Objective:To discuss the effects of Rhodosin,the extractant of medical plants na med Rhodiola Sachinonsis A.Bor,on aging rats and the model rats of Alzheier′s d isease (AD).Methods:Step down and water maze tests were used to determine the content of ace tylcholine (Ach) and the activity of acetylcholine transferase (ChAT) of hippoca mpus,lipid peroxide (LPO) and activity of superoxide dismute (SOD) of the cerebr al cortex,and cerebellar cortex and spinal cord were observed respectively.At th e same time,the general light microscope and eletron microscope were used to obs erve the changes in morphology.Results:The Rhodosin as an antioxidant could enhance the content of Ach and the activity of ChAT,reduce the formation of LPO,and increase activity of SOD.The Rh odosin could facilitate metabolism,enhance activity,and inhibit degeneration of aging rat cells.Conclusion:Rhodosin had obvious anti-aging effects on aing rats and also had p reventive,protective,anti-dementia effects on experimental dementia.
