The reality is facing a rapidly aging society in Korea. It means that the aging population will increase continuously. Consequently, geriatric nervous disease Patients also will increase continuously. The nervous diseases are Alzheimer's disease (AD), The Parkinson's disease (PD) and schizophrenia.
PD is characterized pathologically by loss of dopaminergic neurons and low response of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN), but still not entirely clear. The reason of disease is rising on oxidative injure, environmental factors and genetic predisposition as co-factors of the neurodegenerative process.
Tripteryguim regelii Sprague et Takeda is a very general plant at nature. The T. regelii has long been used as an adaptogen in traditional Korean medicine. In this study, the extracted from ethanol (TRE) and methanol (TRM) of T. regelii were evaluated using various anti-oxidants assays and neuroprotective effects.
