Abstract

Oxidative damage to DNA, proteins, lipids and other molecules may contribute to the development of neurodegenerative disease. This study was designed to find out whether Ursi Fel ${\cdot}$ Bovis Calculus Herbal-Acupuncture Solution(UBHAS) can scavenge nitric oxide(NO) or not. NO concentration was estimated after treatment with Vit. C or 1, 10, $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of UBHAS. There was no significant scavenging effect of UBHAS on NO in 1, $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ group. while significant scavenging in $l0{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ group after 2hrs. UBHAS showed significant scavenging effects on NO in 1, 10, $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ group after 6hrs. There was a significant scavenging effect in 10, $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ group. even though no significant in $1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ group after 12, 24 hrs. This study showed that UBHAS might be used for aging related disease. These results suggest that UBHAS has scavenging effect on NO. however, further studies are required to investigate the antioxidative effects of it.
