Abstract

To investigate effect of fruits of Hovenia dulcis Thunb. on learning ability of ethanol-induced rats, we divided rats into 3 groups; normal, control and sample groups. Control group administered ethanol at a dose 3 g/kg bw. (25 v/v %), while sample group administered the water extract of fruits of Hovenia dulcis Thunb. 30 min. before treating same dose of ethanol as control group orally. All groups were subjected to trials of straight channel on the 1st day and to those of multiple T-maze during the following 3 days. The time required in normal group for the straight channel of the 2nd and the 3rd trials was significantly shorter than that of the 1st, while control group showed no significance. In the time required for the multiple T-maze trials of control group, there were no significance. But in the straight channel or multiple T-maze trials, the sample group showed significant decrease in the time required against control group, and also showed significant decrease in the number of selecting errors.

지구자 물 추출물이 에탄올 중독된 흰쥐의 학습능력에 미치는 영향을 실험하기 위하여 정상군(normal), 25% 에탄올 투여군(control) 및 지구자 물 추출물과 에탄올을 함께 투여한 검액투여군(sample)으로 나누어 10일간 각 약물을 투여한 후 11일째 1일 3회 직선수로 실험을 시행하고, 다음날부터 3일간 1일 3회씩 실험한 T-미로실험을 시행한 결과, normal군은 직선 수로실험과 T-미로실험에서 학습에 의하여 목표점 도달 소요시간이 유의성 있게 단축되고, control군은 기억력쇠퇴로 인하여 학습능력이 현저히 감소하나, 지구자의 물 추출물을 계속적으로 투여한 sample군의 경우 에탄올 중독으로 저하된 학습 능력에 유의성 있는 회복을 나타냈다.
