Cheonghunhwadam-tang(CHT) have been used in oriental medicine for many centuries as a therapeutic agent of vertigo by wind, fire and phlegm. CTG was CHT adding Aurantii FructusㆍGastrodae Rhizoma. CTG was significantly increased regional cerebral blood f1ow(rCBF) in a dose-dependent, and CTG was decreased mean arterial blood pressure(MABP) compared with normal MABP(100%) in a low dosage, but was increased MABP in a dose-dependent, was aliked with normal MABP in a high-dosage. Therefore, purpose of this Study was to investigate experimental mechanism of CHTAG on the cerebral hemodynamics(rCBF, MABP) in rats. The changes of rCBF and MABP were determinated by Laser-Doppler Flowmetry(LDF). The results were as follows ; Pretreatment with indomethacin(3㎎/㎏, i.v.) was significantly inhibited CTG induced increase of rCBF and pretreated with propranolol(3㎎/㎏, i.v.) was inhibited CTG induced increase of rCBF, but pretreatment with methylene blue(10㎍/㎏, i.v) was increased CTG induced increase of rCBF. Pretreatment with indomethacin was decreased CTG induced increase of MABP, but pretreatment with propranolol and methylene blue were increased CTG induced increase of MABP. This results suggest that the mechanism of CTG is mediated by cyclooxygenase.

Cheonghunhwadam-tang have been used in oriental medicine for many centuries as a therapeutic agent of vertigo by wind, fire and phlegm. CHT Gamypang(CTG) was CHT adding Aurantii Fructus(AF). The effects of CTG on the regional cerebral blood f1ow(rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure(MABP) is not known. The mechanical Study of CTG on the cerebral hemodynamics is not known too. Therefore, purpose of this Study was to investigate effects of CTG on the rCBF and MABP, mechanism of CTG on the cerebral hemodynamics in rats. The changes of rCBF and BP was determinated by Laser-Doppler Flowmetry(LDF). The results were as follows ; CTG extract was significantly decreased rCBF in a dose-dependent, but the change of MABP was not shown. Pretreatment with propranolol(3mg/kg, i.v.) was significantly increased CTG(10 mg/kg, i.v.) induced decrease of rCBF. Pretreatment with indomethacin(3mg/kg, i.v.) and methylene blue(10㎍/kg, i.v.) were increased CTG induced decrease of rCBF too. This results suggest that the mechanism of CTG is mediated by adrenergic β - receptor, guanylate cyclase and cyclooxygenase.
