The purpose of this experiment was to compare the effects of tryptophan administration on nutritional status of female rats which consumed reserpine and 6% casein diet with different carbohydrate contents(87%, 65%, 44% respective). Final body weight, body weight gain, FER, plasma amino acid concentration and microsomal cytochrome P 450 content in liver were measured and microscopic structure of hepatocytes was observed. In low-protein diet, the higher the carbohydrate content of diet was, the lower the damage was in the rat's liver. Tryptophan administration after dose of reserpine induced more effective recovery from liver damage of rats in high carbohydrate diet group than that in low carbohydrate diet group. In conclusion, the general nutritional assessments such as final body weight and body weight gain provided better estimate of the degree of structural changes in hepatocytes than functional assessment such as plasma amino acid concentration or liver microsomal cytochrome P450.

Saponin, essential oil, fat oil and alkaloidal fraction were fractionated from the ethanol extract of fanax ginseng. Effect of each fraction of Panax ginseng upon the temperature response induced by reserpine, chlorpromazine and nembutal was investigated in mice, so as to secure some hidden facets of each fraction of Panax ginseng acting upon central nervous system. The authors could arrive at some results, that is: (1) Inhibitory effect of Panax ginseng upon temperature decline induced by nembutal and chlorpromazine and potentiating action upon hyperthermia induced by reserpine reside mainly in saponin fraction and slightly in essential oil fraction. (2) The effect of Ginseng saponin on temperature response in nice seems to be related with the liberation of serotonin and histamine.

An influence of bethanidine (B) onpressor effects of norepinephrine (NE) and tyramine (TR) was investigated in the whole rabbits. B, in a dose 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 mg/kg, i.v., potentiated significantly the pressor effects of NE and TR. Reserpine and desipramine did not increase the NE effect that had been potentiated by B.B also made little modification of NE effect that had been potentiated by reserpine and desipramine. B increased the NE effect that had been potentiated by tranycypromine and guanethidine. The NE pressor effect potentiated by B was decreased by tranylcypromine, but not influenced by guanethidine. The TR pressor effect potentiated by B was not altered by reserpine and guanethidine, but decreased by desipramine and tranylcypromine. B increased the TR pressor effect that had been potentiated by guanethidine. B, when given after administration of reserpine, tranylcypromine or desipramine, exerted little influence on the TR effect. The mechanism of potentiation of NE and TR pressor effects by B seems to be similar to guanethidine, and the potency of B on the influence of NE and TR effects seems to be greater than guanethidine.

Whether there exists a sympathetic neural mechanism regulating the expression of aquaporin (AQP) water channels in the kidney was investigated. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with reserpine (1 mg/kg, IP), and the expression of AQP1-4 proteins was determined in the kidney one day thereafter. Following the treatment with reserpine, the systolic blood pressure measured in a conscious state was significantly decreased in the experimental group compared with that in the control $(83{\pm}8\;vs\;124{\pm}6\;mmHg;\;n=6\;each,\;P＜0.05)$. The expression of AQP2 proteins was decreased in the cortex, outer medulla, and inner medulla. The decrease of AQP2 proteins was in parallel in the membrane and the cytoplasmic fractions, suggesting a preserved AQP2 targeting. No significant changes were observed in the expression of AQP1, AQP3, or AQP4. Neither basal nor AVP-stimulated formation of cAMP was significantly altered. These results suggest that the sympathetic nervous system has a tonic stimulatory effect specifically on the expression of AQP2 water channels in the kidney.

Efforts from many different approaches have been made to cure Raynaud's phenomenon using dosal sympathectomy and topical injection of nitroglycerine, phentolamine or procaine and oral or parenteral administration of various drugs. However, there has been no successful management proven yet. In recent years, it was reported that intra-arterial adminstriation of various drugs in normal subjects as well as patients with Raynaud's syndrome, had emonstrated a significant increase in blood flow to the hands. We used an intermittent stellate ganglion block in conjunction with intra-arterial injection of reserpine and procaine in the patient suffering from finger necrosis caused by accidental intraarterial antibiotic (cephamezine) injection. The stellate ganglion block was performed via a paratracheal approach by injection of 0.5% bupivacaine 6 ml, and 1% lidocaine 6 ml, and followed by administration of reserpine 1 mg and procaine 50 mg through a butterfly needle inserted in the radial artery. The administration of reserpine and procaine was done twice. The stellate ganglion block was performed every day for about 3 days, then once every a 5 days as needed for 15 days. As the procedure was carried out, the discolored tissue improved and the pain was progressively relieved. In conclusion, it was suggested that the intra-arterial administration of reserpine and procaine helped initiate and accelerate the increasing blood flow to the hand and the stellate ganglion block continued to help revascularization by dilating the peripheral beds.

Objectives: Yukmijihwang-won (Liuweidihuang-wan in Chinese) is a frequently used medicinal herbal formula. It is used as Yin tonic in Korea and China to recover patients from Yin deficiency. However, the scientific evidence on this drug has not revealed the beneficial effect or mechanism of its effects on the neurological disorder. We designed this study to examine the antidepressive and analgesic effects of Yukmijihwang-won (YJ-01) and the minor modification of YJ-01, YJ-06 on the reserpine-induced pain-depression dyad mice model. Methods: Reserpine (1 mg/kg) was administered subcutaneously once a day for three consecutive days to induce pain and depression-like behavior. The oral administration of YJ-01 and YJ-06 (100, 200, or 300 mg/kg) was performed once daily from three days after the reserpine injection. Results: Repeated administration of the YJs significantly reduced the immobility time in a forced swimming test and increased the moved distance and number of crossings in the open field test. In the von-Frey filament test, the oral administration of YJs remarkably suppressed the increase in paw withdrawal frequency. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that YJ-01 and 06 may be good candidates to treat the pain-depression dyad.

Five multiparous and four nulliparous cross-bred cows were administered s/c with oestradiol-$17{\beta}$ and progesterone 0.1 mg and 0.25 mg/kg. b.w./day for 7 days and 2 mg s/c twice daily of reserpine on days 9 to 12. Lactation was successfully induced in all animals for periods from 258 to 476 days. All animals were dried off for a minimum of 2 months. Subsequently, they were injected s/c with oestradiol valerate and hydroxyprogesterone caproate at 0.1 mg and 0.25 mg/kg. b.w./day on days 1 to 3 and 2 mg twice daily of reserpine on days 8 to 11. Lactation was successfully reinduced in all the cows for a period varying from 228 to 426 days.

Pharmacological investigation was performed in chickens which were pretreated with reserpine. Transmural stimulations were given to the isolated jejunum of chickens and studied the responses and the effects of dibenamine, propranolol, atropine and tetrodotoxin on them. The results obtained were summerized as follows: 1. Three different patterns of response were obtained from the isolated jejunum of non-treated chickens after giving them transmural stimulation. The first pattern was contraction followed by relaxation, the second pattern was contraction only and the third pattern was relaxation only. 2. The transmural stimulation of the jejunum preparations evoked relaxation while the periarterial stimulation evoked contraction in the reserpinized chick. 3. The relaxation response to the transmural stimulation was not affected by the pretreatment with dibenamine, propranolol and atropine. 4. The relaxation response to the transmural stimulation was abolished by tetrodotoxin. The results obtained in these studies indicate that the relaxation response to the transmural stimulation is due to non-adrenergic inhibitory fibers.
