Abstract
PG has been well studied about effects of stress resistance. Although ZJ has been known that it had stress resistance effect since ancient times, its pharmacological properties and clinical applications have not been studied and reported until recently. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether effects of stress hormones, mechanism of stress protein could be induced by PG and ZJ of herb extract ingestion during stress exposure. In addition, this study identified expression of apoptosis factors related to stress. 1) Bcl-2 expression of the stressed rats decreased in comparison with the unstressed rats in heart and stomach. Bcl-2 expression of rats administered to PG was higher than the stressed rats in heart and that of rats administered to ZJ was higher than the stressed rats in stomach. 2) Stressed rats were decreased in p53 protein expression than normal rats. Thus, the results suggest stress-induced apoptosis is p53-independent apoptosis. And these results demonstrated that PG or ZJ administration helped to return from stress state to normal. 3) Clusterin expressed markedly in only salivary gland, but that of expression was no difference among four groups in tissues. Clusterin expression has no relation of stress-induced apoptosis.
