Abstract

Objectives: We investigated the effect of Bojungikgitang on the change of the corticosterone and the rectal temperature of the mice induced by starvation stress. Methods: After administration of Bojungikgitang three times, mice were starved. The corticosterone and rectal temperature were measured after 36.5 hours starvation stress. Results : The plasma corticosterone level in Bojungikgitang(0.25g/Kg) was decreased comparing with the Control group and the rectal temperature in the Bojungikgitang(1.0g/Kg) was increased comparing with the Control group. Conclusion : it might be recognized that Bojungikgitang has anti starvation stress effect, and also it might be needed further study in various viewpoints.
