To study the anti-aging effect of astragalosides (AST) and its mechanism of action.
Rotating rod test and step-down type passive avoidance test were performed to determine the effects of AST on motor and memory of D-galactose (D-gal)-induced senescent mice and the middle-aged mice. The proliferative response of splenocytes induced by Con A or LPS, IL-2 production of splenocytes induced by ConA of D-gal-treated mice and the middle-aged mice were also measured.
AST (40 mg.kg(-1).d(-1), ig, for 10 weeks) was found to ameliorate age-related alternations in both motor response and memory, enhance the deteriorated cellular immunity in D-gal-treated mice and the pre-aged (17-month-old) mice.
AST has an anti-aging effect on D-gal-induced senescent mice and has the effect of delaying senility of the middle-aged mice, which was related to its improvement of brain function and immunomodulatory effects.
研究黄芪总苷(AST)的抗衰老作用及其作用机制。
采用转棒试验和跳台法被动回避试验,观察AST对D-半乳糖(D-gal)致衰老小鼠及中年小鼠运动能力和记忆能力的影响。检测刀豆蛋白A(Con A)或脂多糖(LPS)诱导的脾细胞增殖反应、D-gal处理小鼠及中年小鼠Con A诱导的脾细胞白细胞介素-2(IL-2)产生水平。
AST(40 mg·kg⁻¹·d⁻¹,灌胃,共10周)可改善衰老相关的运动反应和记忆能力的改变,增强D-gal处理小鼠及早衰(17月龄)小鼠衰退的细胞免疫功能。
AST对D-gal诱导的衰老小鼠具有抗衰老作用,对中年小鼠具有延缓衰老的作用,这与其改善脑功能及免疫调节作用有关。
