Effects of Taeyeumjoweetang on the obestity of mouse induced by gold thioglucose. It is researched to elucidate the effects of Taeyeumjoweetang on the obesity of mouse induced by gold thioglucose and the differentiation and growth of preadipocyte, 3T3-L1 cell. The result were as follows. 1. Taeyeumjoweetang extract improved the blood level of transaminase changed by the obesity of mouse induced by gold thioglucose. 2. Taeyeumjoweetang extract inhibited the increase of liver fat and body fat induced by the obesity of mouse induced by gold thioglucose. 3. Taeyeumjoweetang extract inhibited the increase of body weight induced by the obesity of mouse induced by gold thioglucose. 4. Taeyeumjoweetang extract inhibited the growth of undifferentiate preadipocyte 3T3-L1. 5. Taeyeumjoweetang extract showed the effects of inhibition on the differentiation of preadipocyte 3T3-L1. The above results suggested that the Taeyeumjoweetang extract may be used on the obesity induced by the overgrowth and differentiation of adipocyte, and the accumulation of fat in liver and body.

1. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Taeyeumjoweetang on the cerebral neurons injured by glucose oxidase(GO). 2. Methods : I observed cell viability in mouse cerebral neurons exposed to glucose oxidase by NR assay and MTT assay and determined lipid peroxidation in mouse cerebral neurons exposed to glucose oxidase. After administration of Taeyeumjoweetang water extracts, I observed significant changes of cell viability, lipid peroxidation in mouse cerebral neurons exposed to glucose oxidase. 3. Results : GO induced cell degeneration such as the decrease of cell viability was measured by MTT and NR assay in the cultured mouse cerebral cortical neurons. Taeyeumjoweetang was effective in the increase of total protein of neurons inhibited by GO. Taeyeumjoweetang was effective in the decrease of lipid peroxidation of neurons produced by GO.

Objective : The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Taeyeumjoweetang (TJT) and Taeyeumjoweebaemahwangtang (TJBM) medication on body weight change and serum total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride, free fatty acid, total lipid, phospholipid level, and CBC of obese rats. Methods : Obese rats induced by high-fat fed are medicated for 7 weeks. 32 rats are divided into four groups depending on the medication; normal group (general-fat fed and no-medication), control group (high-fat fed and no medication), TJT group (high-fat fed and TJT medication) and TJBM group (high-fat fed and TJBM medication). After 7 weeks, obesity related index and CBC are analysed. Results : There is a significant statistical difference between control group and TJBM group for the body weight change, the total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride level: total cholesterol values of control and TJBM are $59.25{\pm}9.56 mg/d{\ell}$ and $39.13{\pm}9.08 mg/d{\ell}$, respectively; HDL cholesterol values of control and TJBM are $22.0{\pm}1.69 mg/d{\ell}$ and $13.75{\pm}2.19 mg/d{\ell}$, respectively; triglyceride values of control and TJBM are $12.75{\pm}3.37 mg/d{\ell}$ and TJBM : $8.13{\pm}1.64 mg/d{\ell}$, respectively. There is a significant statistical difference between control group, TJT, and TJBM group for free fatty acid and phospholipid level: free fatty acid values of control, TJT, and TJBM are $936.25{\pm}89.59 {\mu}m/{\ell}$, $738.75{\pm}109.47{\mu}m/{\ell}$, and $720{pm}150.71{\mu}m/{\ell}$, respectively; phospholipid values of Control, TJT, and TJBM are $87.13{\pm}11.86mg/d{\ell}$, $70.5{\pm}12.22 mg/d{\ell}$, and $60.5{\pm}11.1 mg/d{\ell}$, respectively. Conclusion : These results suggest that medication of TJT and TJBM is effective for the treatment of obesity. Especially, TJBM is more effective than TJT.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-obesity and anti-hyperlipidemic Effects of Taeyeumjowee-tang and its modified prescription on the animal model of obesity and hyperlipidemia induced high-fat diet. Method : 1) The extracts of Taeyeumjowee-tang (TJT) and its modified prescription, Taeyeumjoweetang gagam-bang (TJGB) were evaluated for its inhibitory effects on obesity. 2) The body weight and feed weight were determined in the pre-treated and post-treated mice and the lipid profiles in the serum were analyzed in order to evaluate the anti-hyperlipidemia action of the extracts. 3) The effect of each extract was investigated for the influences on monoamine oxidase activity and HMG-CoA reductase activity. Results 1. TJT and TJGB extracts dose-dependently reduced the body weight and feed intake in normal mice. The effect of TJGB extract was better than that of TJT extract. 2. TJGB extract diminished the body weight increase and reduced the feed intake in the pre-treatment or post-treatment of the extract 3. TJGB extract decreased the amount of total cholesterol slightly and triglyceride potently after the pre-treatment or post-treatment, but HDL cholesterol exhibited no remarkable change compared with control. 4. TJGB extract weakly potentiated the monoamine oxidase activity, but its effect was better than that of TJT extract. 5. TJGB extract weakly inhibited the HMG-CoA reductase activity, but its effect was better than that of TJT extract. Conclusion : Taeyeumjowee-tang and its modified prescription can clinically be useful as anti-obesity drug and also for the improvement of hyperlipidemia.
