当归芍药散是对阿耳茨海默性痴呆有治疗作用的药物,为了阐明其对神经系统的作用机制,日本的Hiramatsu M等通过动物实验探讨了当归芍药散对大鼠的脑皮质、海马、纹状体、中脑、脑桥—延髓和小脑的胆碱能神经的作用。结果显示,老龄大鼠脑内胆碱乙酰基转移酶(CAT)活性在皮质和纹状体中减少。乙酰胆碱酯酶在海马、中脑、脑桥—延髓部位减少,在 Danggui Shaoyao Powder is a drug that has a therapeutic effect on Alzheimer’s dementia. In order to elucidate its mechanism of action on the nervous system, Japan’s Hiramatsu M et al. explored the effects of Danggui Shaoyao Powder on rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus through animal experiments. The role of cholinergic nerves in the striatum, midbrain, pons, medulla, and cerebellum. The results showed that the brain choline acetyltransferase (CAT) activity in aged rats was reduced in the cortex and striatum. Acetylcholinesterase is reduced in the hippocampus, midbrain, pons-medulla, in
