각병연수장합증손백출산(却病延壽場合增損白朮散) 열수추출물, 초미세분말제형이 Alzheimer's Disease 병태(病態) 모델에 미치는 영향

Objective : This experiment was designed to investigate the effect of the GYZB hot water extract & ultra-fine powder on the Alzheimer's disease model induced by amyloid ${\beta}$ protein (${\beta}A$). Method : We measured the effects of the GYZB hot water extract on expression of $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 mRNA and production of IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$ in the BV2 microglial cell line treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The effects of the GYZB hot water extract & ultra-fine powder on (1) the behavior, (2) expression of $IL-1{\beta}$ and $TNF-{\alpha}$, (3) glucose in serum, (4) the infarction area of the hippocampus, and brain tissue injury in mice induced with Alzheimer's diseased by ${\beta}A$ were investigated. Results : The GYZB hot water extract suppressed the expression of $IL-1{\beta}$ and IL-6 mRNA and significantly suppressed the production of IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ in the BV2 microglial cell line treated with LPS. The GYZB hot water extract & ultra-fine powder showed a significant inhibitory effect on the memory deficit of the mice with Alzheimer's disease induced by ${\beta}A$ in the Morris water maze experiment, which measured stop-through latency and distance movement-through latency. The GYZB ultra-fine powder significantly suppressed the expression of $IL-1{\beta}$ and $TNF-{\alpha}$ protein, and the GYZB hot water extract significantly suppressed the expression of $TNF-{\alpha}$ protein in the microglial cell of mice with Alzheimer's disease induced by ${\beta}A$. The GYZB hot water extract & ultra-fine powder reduced the infarction area of hippocampus in the mice with Alzheimer's disease induced by ${\beta}A$. Conclusions : These results suggest that GYZB hot water extract & ultra-fine powder may be effective for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Investigation into the clinical use of GYZB for Alzheimer's disease is suggested for future research.
