Influence of Ganoderma lucidum Triterpenoids on Learning Memory Function and ACh Content in Alzheimer Disease Model Rat
Objective:To observe the protective effects and mechanism of Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoids(GLT) in Alzheimer disease model animal.Method: After Morris water maze
60 natural aging rats(24 month) qualified and screened were randomly divided into 6 groups(n=10)
model group(NS 10 mL · kg-1)
GLT low dose group(0.25 g · kg-1)
GLT middle dose group(0.5 g · kg-1)
GLT high dose group(1.0 g · kg-1)
positive group[Jiannao Jiaonang(JNJN) 0.38 g·kg-1] and solvent group(oil 10 mL · kg-1)
while 10 young rats(5 month) were selected as a control group.Then the intragastric administration was used.After being treated with GLT for 60 days
the learning and memory function were tested by Morris water maze
the activity of total acetylcholinesterase(AChE)
choline acetyl transferase(ChAT) in brain were examined by chemistry detecting kits.Result: The model animals showed worse ability in learning and memory compared with the control.The activity of AChE increased
while the activity of ChAT decreased in model animals compared with the control.GLT significantly improved the changes mentioned above(P<0.05).Conclusion: GLT can improve the learning and memory dysfunction in aging model rats by increasing ACh content in brain.
