Abstract
Objective : This study was performed to investigate neuroprotective effects of Bupleuri Radix against oxidative and ischemic damages. Method : To observe the neuroprotective effects against ischemic damage, ischemic insult was induced by oxygen/glucose deprivation (OGD) on organotypic hippocampal slice cultures (OHSC) from 1 week-old Sprague-Dawley rats. Propidium iodide (PI) fluorescence-stained neuronal dead-cell areas, area percentages and TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells in CA1 and dentate gyrus, and LDH levels in culture media of the OHSC were measured following Bupleuri Radix extract treatment. Result : The following results were obtained: (1) The
