Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii (RAT) on amino acids neurotransmitter in mice brain and to explore its mechanisms. Methods After treated by different parts of RAT,the cerebral contents of the amino acids neurotransmitter in rats were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) Results Volatile oil, fluid extract and defatted decoction of RAT could significantly lower cerebral glutamic acid level. Volatile oil and fluid extract decreased the content of aspartic acid, and volatile oil could also reduce the taurine content in brain tissue. Conclusion RAT can lower the contents of excitatory amino acids(EAA ) and has protective effect on the brain.
