Abstract

This study was performed to investigate what effect the taste and quality of drugs would have on the cold and heat mechanisms of human body. We administered Hwangryeunhaedok-tang composed of bitter-tasted, cold-qualified drugs and Gungangbuza-tang composed of spice-tasted. hot-qualified drugs, respectively to the mice 1 hr before exposure to heat stress or cold stress. Plasma corticosterone level of mice was measured. The results were as follows: 1. The elevated corticosterone level in the mice exposed to heat stress was significantly decreased after administration of Gungangbuza-tang but there was no decrease after administration of Hwangryeunhaedok-tang. 2. The elevated corticosterone level in the mice exposed to cold stress was significantly decreased after administration of Hwangryeunhaedok-tang but there was mild decrease after administration of Gungangbuza-tang. 3. When the doses, 3g/kg and 1g/kg were administerd to mice exposed to heat stress. both dose showed significant decrease of corticosterone level and the dose. 3g/kg was more effective. However, in the mice exposed to cold stress, the dose, 3g/kg showed mild decrease and 1g/kg showed significant decrease. These data suggested that HW decreased the plasma corticosterone level in the mice exposed to cold stress and GB also decreased the plasma corticosterone level in the mice exposed to heat stress. In conclusion, our study revealed that the taste and quality of drugs controled the cold and heat mechanism of human body.
