Influence of tonifying kidney recipe on advanced glycation endproducts and lipid peroxidation in ovariectomized rats

BACKGROUND： Previous studies have demonstrated that reduced estrogen levels may accelerate the formation of advanced glycation endproducts （AGE） in brain tissue, raise the concentration of lipid peroxidation products in vivo, and speed up deterioration of learning and memory. A tonifying kidney recipe is hypothesized to improve the ability of learning and memory in ovariectomized rats by downregulating AGE and lipid peroxidation products. OBJECTIVE： To simulate a postmenopausal state, bilateral ovariectomy （OVX） was performed in rats, and the effects of tonifying kidney recipe （TKR） on AGE and lipid peroxidation in the rat cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and blood serum levels was measured. In addition, the effects on learning and memory were evaluated, and the effect of AGE -specific inhibitor aminoguanidine （AG） was compared with TKR. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A randomized, in vivo, control experiment was performed at the scientific research center （Provincial Key Laboratory） in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University （Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China） from May 2005 to January 2007. MATERIALS： Forty healthy, adult, female, Sprague Dawley rats were used for this study. TKR was composed of prepared rehmannia rhizome, epimedium herb, desert-living cistanche, and Szechwan lovage rhizome, which were provided by Shijiazhuang Medical Materials Company （China）. A TKR extraction was prepared for further use. AG was provided by Sigma （USA）. Forty rats were randomly divided into four groups： sham, OVX, AG, and TKR, with 10 rats in each group. METHODS： The rat ovaries were resected in the OVX, AG, and TKR groups, whereas the same volume of fat was resected in the sham group. At four weeks after OVX, the AG group received 1% AG water solution by lavage; the TKR group was administrated by lavage once per day at a dose of 6.3 g （crude drug）/kg; OVX and sham groups received equal volumes of tap water. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Learning and memory behavior of rats was tested in a Y-electric maze 16 weeks after the OVX procedure. The contents of advanced glycation endproducts in the rat cerebral cortex, hippocampus, serum, and urine were detected by competitive ELISA and spectrofluorophotometer. The contents of lipid peroxidation in rat serum, cerebral cortex, and hippocampus were assayed using a biochemical method. RESULTS： Compared with the sham group, serum content of advanced glycation endproducts in the OVX group was significantly increased, and lipid peroxidation content increased in cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and serum （t = 3.04-4.22, P 〈 0.05 0.01）. Both AG and TKR decreased the amount of AGE in cerebral cortex and serum （t = 2.53, 3.64, P 〈 0.05, 0.01）, increased AGE urine content （t = 3.25 4.87, P 〈 0.01）, and decreased lipid peroxidation content in cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and serum （t = 2.80 3.70, P 〈 0.05 0.01）. In comparison to the OVX and sham groups, the correct escape rate in the Y-electric maze was significantly increased （t = 3.46, 3.28, P 〈 0.01）, and escape latency was significantly decreased （t=3.12, 2.48 P 〈 0.05） in the AG and TKR groups, which indicated that both AG and TKR improved learning and memory The OVX group had a significantly lower correct escape compared with the sham group （t = 4.21, P 〈 0.01 ）.CONCLUSION： The tonifying kidney recipe decreased deposition of advanced glycation endproducts and lipid peroxidation in ovariectomized rats, and concomitantly improved learning and memory. The effect of TKR was equal to that of AG.

Influence of electroacupuncture therapy of tonifying the kidney and regulating governor vessel on Aβ related degradation enzymes in the hippocampus of a rat model of Alzheimer's disease induced by Aβ_(1-42)

Objective： To explore influence of electroacupuncture（EA） therapy of tonifying the kidney and regulating governor vessel on amyloid beta（Aβ） related degradation enzymes in the hippocampus of a rat model of Alzheimer＇s disease（AD） induced by Aβ（1-42）.Methods： Forty Wistar male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups： a normal group, a sham operation group, a model group and an EA group, 10 rats in each one. The rats in normal group were normally fed. The rats in sham operation group were bilaterally injected in the hippocampus with 5 μL of saline and they were normally fed after the injection. The rats in the model group and the EA group were bilaterally injected in the hippocampus with 5 μL of Aβ（1-42） on each side. Rats in the EA group received EA of 5 Hz continuous wave at the ＂Bǎihuì（百会 GV20）＂ and bilateral ＂Shènshū（肾俞 BL23）＂ for a duration of 15 min per time every day and continuously for 15 days. After 15 days, the hippocampal expression levels of insulin degrading enzyme（IDE）, lipoprotein（LPL）, transthyretin（TTR）, apolipoprotein E（APoE）,a2 macroglobulin（a2 M） and Aβ（1-42） of the 4 groups were tested by Western blot.Results： Compared with the sham operation group, the expression levels of IDE, LPL, TTR, APoE and a2 M in the hippocampus were significantly lower（P〈 0.05, P〈 0.01） and the expression of Aβ（1-42） was significantly higher（P〈 0.01） in the model group. Compared with the model group, the expression levels of IDE, LPL, TTR,APoE and a2 M in the hippocampus of these rats were significantly lower（P〈 0.05,P〈 0.01）, the expression of Aβ（1-42） was significantly higher（P〈 0.01） in the EA group.Conclusion： EA therapy of tonifying the kidney and regulating governor vessel can enhance the expression of IDE, LPL, TTR, APoE, and a2 M in the hippocampus of AD rats injected by Aβ（1-42）, and may consequently promote the degradation of aβ（1-42） to help improve the pathological manifestations of AD and therefore delay its progression.

Shen(Kidney)-Tonifying Principle for Primary Osteoporosis:to Treat Both the Disease and the Chinese Medicine Syndrome

Primary osteoporosis （POP） is one of the most common diseases in the elderly people resulting in high risk of fracture and poor quality of life. In addition to the pathological changes in bone mass, most of the POP patients also suffer from Chinese medicine （CM） syndromes of Shen （Kidney） essence deficiency. Shen essences are highly related to bone. Shen essence deficiency plays an important part in the development of POP and a better diagnosis of POP could be made by combining CM syndromes with Western medicine risk factors. Treatments of POP should aim at both increasing the bone mass and relieving the syndromes of Shen essence deficiency. Clinical study confirmed that treating POP patients with Shen-tonifying herbs could increase the bone mass and relieve the CM syndromes of POP patients. Basic researches clarified the mechanism by which Shen-tonifying herbs increased bone mass in animal models. The mechanisms by which Shentonifying herbs relieve the CM syndromes are still in investigation.
