BACKGROUND:Ithasbeenshownthatginsenoside,theeffectivecomponentofginseng,canenhanceexpressionofcholineacetyltransferase,aswellasbrain-derivedneurotrophicfactor(BDNF)anditsreceptortyrosinekinaseB(TrkB),incholinergicneuronsofthebasalforebrain.OBJECTIVE:ToqualitativelyandquantitativelyverifytheinfluenceofginsenosideonexpressionofBDNFanditsreceptor,TrkB,inthemedialseptumofagedrats,andtoprovideamolecularbasisforclinicalapplication.DESIGN,TIMEANDSETTING:Acontraststudy,whichwasperformedintheDepartmentofAnatomy,ChinaMedicalUniversity,andtheDepartmentofAnatomy,ShenyangMedicalCollegebetweenDecember2005andMay2007.MATERIALS:Thirty-five,healthy,female,SpragueDawleyratswereselectedforthisstudy.Ginsenoside(81%purity)wasprovidedbyJilinJi’anWantaiChineseMedicineFactory;anti-BDNFantibody,anti-TrkBantibody,andtheirkitswereprovidedbyWuhanBosterCompany.METHODS:Atotalof35ratsweredividedintothreegroups:young(fourmonthsold),aging(26monthsold),andginsenoside.Ratsintheginsenosidegroupwereadministeredginsenoside(25mg/kg/d)between17monthsand26months.MAINOUTCOMEMEASURES:ImmunohistochemistryandinsituhybridizationwereusedtomeasureexpressionofBDNFandTrkBinthemedialseptumofagedrats,andthedetectedresultswereexpressedasgrayvalues.RESULTS:①Qualitativedetection:usingmicroscopy,degenerativeneuronswerevisibleinthemedialseptumintheaginggroup.However,neuronalmorphologyintheginsenosidegroupwassimilartoneuronsintheyounggroup.②Quantitativedetection:themeangrayvalueofBDNF-positiveandTrkB-positiveproductsintheaginggroupweresignificantlyhigherthanintheyounggroup(t=3.346,4.169,P<0.01);however,themeangrayvalueintheginsenosidegroupwassignificantlylowerthanintheaginggroup(t=2.432,2.651,P<0.01).CONCLUSION:GinsenosidecanincreaseexpressionofBDNFandTrkBinth
