  • Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of $GB_{41}$ supplementation and $BL_{66}$ draining on changes in cerebral blood flow in normal rats. Methods : Regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure(MABP) in normal rats are observed, and those mechanisms were also investigated with pre-treatment of indomethacin(IDM) and methylene blue(MTB) each. Results : In this study, $GB_{41}$ supplementation and $BL_{66}$ draining elevated rCBF in time-dependent manner. Pre-treatment with indomethacin(IDM), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, inhibited increase of rCBF effectively. But pre-treatment with methylene blue(MTB), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, didn't affect rCBF levels. In addition, pre-treatment with IDM also decreased MABP levels. Conclusions : In conclusion, these results suggest that $GB_{41}$ supplementation and $BL_{66}$ draining is effective to increase rCBF, and the mechanisms are thought to be related to cyclooxygenase pathways.
