چکیده
Purpose Depression has been a serious issue as the annual worldwide suicide rate has been constantly increasing, according to the statistics published by WHO. In fact, WHO predicts that it will be the leading psychological disease by year 2020. Antidepressants in general, however, demonstrate serious side effects such as anxiety disorders, gastrointestinal problems, and sexual dysfunction in patients; therefore, it is important to find an effective way to prevent the occurrence of depression. Gastrodia eleta Bl., an Oriental herb that has been shown to demonstrate an anti-depression effect, was investigated in the form of water extraction.

Effects of Gastrodia Elata Bl on Phencyclidine-Induced Schizophrenia-Like Psychosis in Mice
It has been demonstrated that 5-HT(1A) receptors play an important role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Because Gastrodia elata Bl (GE) modulates the serotonergic system, we examined whether GE could affect phencyclidine (PCP)-induced abnormal behavior in mice. Repeated treatment with PCP increased immobility time, while it decreased social interaction time and recognition memory. PCP-...
متن کاملGastrodia Elata Bl Attenuates Methamphetamine-Induced Dopaminergic Toxicity Via Inhibiting Oxidative Burdens
It has been recognized that Gastrodia elata Bl (GE), an oriental herb medicine, ameliorates various neurological disorders, that GE modulates the monoaminergic and GABAergic systems, and that GE possess antioxidant activities. We examined whether GE affects methamphetamine (MA)-induced striatal dopaminergic toxicity in mice. Treatment with MA (7.5 mg/kg, i.p. × 4) resulted in significant decrea...
متن کاملGastrodia Elata Bl Attenuates Cocaine-Induced Conditioned Place Preference and Convulsion, but not Behavioral Sensitization in Mice: Importance of GABAA Receptors
It has been suggested that GABAergic neurotransmission can modulate cocaine dependence and seizure activity. Since Gastrodia elata Bl (GE), an oriental herb agent, has been shown to enhance GABAergic transmission, we examined whether GE affects cocaine-induced seizures, conditioned place preference (CPP), and behavioral sensitization in mice. Treatment with GE (500 or 1000 mg/kg, p.o.) signific...
متن کاملInvestigation of the chemico-physical characteristics of the active components in the Chinese herb Gastrodia elata Bl. by capillary zone electrophoresis.
A CE method for investigating the chemico-physical characteristics of the active components of low molecular weight in Gastrodia elata Bl. is described. First, the dissociation constants of five active components were determined based on the relation between the effective mobility of the solutes and the buffer pH value. Second, an equation that describes the relation of the migration time and t...
