FIGURE 4.
Jia-Wei-Kai-Xin-San treatment increased acetylcholine levels, inhibited AChE activities and induced ChAT activities in hippocampus of Aβ injection mice. Animal group and drug treatment were same as that in Figure 2. After drug treatment, hippocampus tissues were isolated from the brains of animals. The amounts of acetylcholine (ACh) and activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and acetyltransferase (ChAT) were analyzed by described method. Values are expressed in the percentage of control group as the Mean ± SEM (n = 8). #p < 0.05 (compared with sham group), ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01 (compared with model group).
