Abstract:

The results of morris water maze test showed that the extract of schisandra fruit could significantly shorten the escape latency time(ELT) and increase the time of crossing target zone and central zone(%) of diabetic encephalopathy rats. In order to investigate the mechanism of schisandra fruit on the improving ability of learning and memory, online MD-HPLC-MS/MS method was applied to explore the effect of schisandra fruit on eight neurochemicals changes in hippocampus of diabetic encephalopathy rats. The results showed that the contents of Glu, Ser, DA and 5-HT decreased significantly(P<0.05), while the contents of Tau and Ach increased significantly(P<0.01) after treated by schisandra fruit. The contents of Asp and GABA tended to decrease but the difference was not significant(P>0.05). The levels of eight neurochemicals regulated to normal level. The results indicated that schisandra may play a protective function of the central nervous system by adjusting the contents of neurochemicals in diabetic rats, which can improve the memory and learn ability of diabetic encephalopathy rat.
