Nowadays, mongolian gerbil is notably utilized for the research of brain and water deprivation because of a congenital incomplete willis circle structure in the brain, audiogenic seizure in low noise, and special cholesterol metabolism without water absorption for a long time. In this study, we are intend to identify the morphological changes of the catecholaminergic neuron of brain according to the time lapse in the condition of long term water deprivation. 55 mongolian gerbil were divided 10 groups(control, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 42th day water deprivation group), of which each group include 5 mongolian gerbils and 5 normal mongolian gerbils in control group were also used for brain atlas as a control. The brains were observed by the immunohistochemical stain using the TH, DBH and PMNT antibody. The results were as followings; 1. The nerve fibers of the TH-immunoreactive neuron were observed only in the and corpus striatum of the telencephalon. 2. Intensity of the immunostain of the nerve fiber in the cerebral cortex and corpus striatum was decreased gradually day by day after water deprivation. 3. The TH-immunoreactive nerve cells were observed in the paraventricular and periventricular nucleus of the 3rd ventricular in the hypothalamus of mongolian gerbil but the number of nerve cells were decreased from the first day of the water deprivation to the 10th day and increased until the 20th day, after than redecreased from the 20th day by the continuous water deprivation. The number of nerve fibers in this area were increased in the first day, but decreased from the 2nd day of water deprivation. The shape and density of the dopamine secreting cells in the brain of mongolian gerbil by the immunoreactive stain were changed in the continuous water deprivation. In this results, we can conclude that dopamine concerned in the water metabolism of mongolian gerbil, and mongolian gerbil could be used as an animal model for the research of water deprivation.

The internal humoral factors in the central regulation of dry feed intake during water deprivation in sheep were investigated by measurement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) constituents. Five animals were fed dried alfalfa chaff for 2 hours once a day. Sheep in the water deprivation treatment were deprived of water for 28 hours, while the sheep in the control treatment were given free access to water. During the first hour of the 2 hour feeding period, a rapid reduction in blood volume occured in both treatments (water deprivation and free access to water). The CSF concentrations of Na, Cl and osmolality during the second hour of the 2 hour feeding period in both treatments were greater (p<0.01) than those during the first hour. The drinking behaviors in sheep were concentrated during the second hour of the 2 hour feeding period in periods of free access to water. Water intake during feeding in periods of free access to water was 1110 ml/2 h. The levels of increase in CSF osmolality with feeding during water deprivation were greater (p<0.01) than during periods of free access to water. The changes in CSF osmolality with feeding during water deprivation produced more vigorous thirst sensations in the brain compared to during periods of free access to water. The eating rates for the first hour of the allotted 2 hour feeding period were the same under both treatments. However, the eating rates for the second hour during water deprivation periods decreased significantly (p<0.05) compared to those during periods of free access to water. The decreased eating rates for the second hour during water deprivation may be due to the vigorous thirst sensations produced in the brain. The results suggest that the increase in CSF osmolality with feeding during water deprivation acts as a thirst and satiety factor in brain mechanisms controlling feeding to decrease dry feed intake in water-deprived sheep.

The present study was carried out to measure changes of feed intake and thirst level caused by water deprivation in goats fed on dry feed and to elucidate the relationship between those two parameters. Water deprivation significantly (p<0.01) decreased cumulative feed intake and rate of eating at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min, respectively, after feed presentation. Cumulative feed intake, after completion of 2 h feeding, was reduced by about 20, 21 and 64 % due to water deprivation during feeding for 2 h (WD2), for 22 h (WD22) and for 46 h (WD46), respectively, compared to free access to water (FAW). Compared to the FAW, WD2, WD22 and WD46 increased thirst level by about 5, 5 and 9 times, respectively. Mean thirst level (X, g/30 min) was negatively correlated with cumulative feed intake (Y, g DM) after completion of 2h feeding (Y=1302-0.2 X, $r^2=0.97$, p<0.05). Water deprivation depressed plasma volume and there was a significant positive regression between plasma volume (X, ml) and cumulative feed intake (Y, g DM) after completion of 2h feeding (Y=-1003+0.6 X, $r^2=0.99$, p<0.01). Mean plasma osmolality (X, mOsmol/l) correlated significantly and negatively with cumulative feed intake (Y, g DM) after completion of 2h feeding (Y=27004-84.9 X, $r^2=0.95$, p<0.05). In conclusion, a decrease of feed intake during water deprivation is mainly due to an increase of thirst level quantitatively, and the act of feeding itself induces thirst more than the length of water-deprivation periods in goats fed on dry feeds. The present findings suggest that plasma osmolality and plasma volume which affect thirst level are involved in the decrease of feed intake in water-deprived goats.

This study was conducted to investigate the behavioral and physiological changes of heat stressed Corriedale ewes exposed to water deprivation. Nine Corriedale ewes (average $BW=45{\pm}3.7kg$) were individually fed diets based on maintenance requirements in metabolic crates. Ewes were assigned into three groups (9 sheep per treatment) according to a $3{\times}3$ Latin square design for 3 periods with 21-d duration for each period. The control (CON) group was given free access to water, 2 h water deprivation (2hWD), and 3 h water deprivation (3hWD) following feeding. No differences were found in fecal excretion frequency, standing frequency (number/d), and sitting frequency among the groups (p > 0.05). Measurements of standing duration (min/d) and urine excretion frequency (number/d) showed a significant decrease whereas sitting duration (min/d) showed a significant increase in the 2hWD and 3hWD groups when compared with the CON group (p < 0.05). Fecal score and heart rate (number/min) were not different among the groups (p > 0.05). However, respiratory rate (number/min) and panting score were found to be significantly higher in the 2hWD and 3hWD groups than in the CON group (p < 0.05). It is concluded that water deprivation following feeding intensifies physiological heat stress related indicators such as respiratory rate and panting score and changes behavioral parameters such as water intake and urine excretion frequency in heat stressed ewes. Daily adaptation to the extreme environmental conditions may occur actively in ewes.

Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus)은 선천적으로 불완전한 뇌바닥동백고리와 특이한 콜레스테롤 대사를 가진 동물로서 수분의 섭취없이도 장기간 생존이 가능하기 때문에 최근 뇌신경학 연구방법에 많이 이용되는 동물이다. 따라서 본 연구는 mongolian gerbil을 절수 시켰을 때 시간의 경과에 따라 뇌에서의 catecholaminergic neuron의 형태적인 변화에 관하여 알아보고자 $50\sim80g$의 mongolian gerbil 25마리를 이용하여 5마리는 뇌도보를 작성하였으며 나머지는 정상군, 5일군, 10일군, 20일군으로 각각 5마리씩 나누어 TH, DBH, PNMT항체를 이용하여 면역조직화학염색하여 절수의 시간에 따른 뇌에서의 catecholaminer-gic neuron의 형태적인 변화를 광학 및 전자현미경적으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 정상군의 경우 시상하부의 제 3 뇌실주위에 있는 뇌실곁핵과 뇌실주위회백질에 TH면역반응세포들이 나타났고 이들의 신경세포돌기 및 신경섬유들도 많이 분포하였으나 20일군에서 감소되는 양상을 보였다. 2. 중뇌 및 교뇌에서는 catecholamine성 신경세포중 dopamine성 신경세포가 뚜렷히 관찰되었으나 noradrenalin성 신경세포는 약하게 관찰되었다. 3. 흑색질의 치밀부분과 배쪽피개영역에서 TH항체에 대한 면역반응을 보이는 Dopamine성 신경세포 밀집도가 높았으며 그물부분에서도 소수 관찰되었다. 그러나 이 부위에서 dopamine성 신경세포도 절수에 따라 5일군까지 신경세포체와 돌기 및 섬유들이 감소되었으나 10일군에서는 다시 증가하였으며 20일군에서부터 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 4. 절수에 의한 뇌의 TH면역반응세포체의 전자현미경적 소견은 정상군에 비해 5일군에서 핵의 농축 및 변형, 신경연접의 소실, 사립체의 감소, 축삭 수의 감소 등이 나타나 TH의 분비에 영향을 주는 것으로 보인다. 그러나 ER등의 변화는 크게 관찰할 수 없었다. 이러한 연구결과는 정상군의 경우 다른 동물과 유사했으나 다른 동물에서는 청색반점이나 교뇌부위에서 noradrenaline성 신경이 많다고 하였지만 본 연구에서는 그러한 차이를 발견하지 못했으며 이것은 동물간의 유전적, 환경적 차이로 사료된다. 그러므로 mongolian gerbil의 수분대사에 dopamine이 관여할 것으로 보고 탈수 질환모델로 개발하기 위한 기능적인 연구와 더불어 많은 형태학적인 연구가 병행되어야 할 것이다.

Objectives: Sunghyangjunggisan (SHJS) is a commonly prescribed drug with a wide neuropharmacological spectrum. The water extracts of SHJS were found to be protective against neurotoxicity elicited by deprivation of serum and glucose. Methods: The morphological examination and Hoechst staining of nucleus also clearly showed that the extracts attenuated the cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing, representing typical neuronal apoptotic phenomena and nucleosome-sized fragmentation under the microscope in PC 12 rat pheochromocytoma cells. Results: Activation of protein kinase A (PKA) with dibutyl-cAMP and forskolin also protected during glucose deprivation, although it was not additive with the effect provided by phorbol ester. Interestingly, treatment with the protein kinase A inhibitor, KT5720, was not neuroprotective in the presence of SHJS. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays were used to characterize the neuroprotective binding of nuclear proteins to consensus sequences for AP-l, nuclear factor kappa B ($NF-{\kappa}B$) after glucose deprivation. When PC 12 cells are induced to undergo apoptosis by serum deprivation, AP-l and $NF-{\kappa}B$ DNA binding activity transiently increases to a slight degree. This stimulation is blocked by the water extracts of SHJS. The site of action of the drugs appeared to involve specific inhibition of AP-1 and nuclear factor kB binding activity. Conclusions: Taken together, these results suggested the possibility that the extracts of SHJS might provide a neurotrophic-like activity in PC 12 cells.

In rats with water deprivation for 72 h (rats with dehydration), hepatic cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) was 3-fold induced with an increase in mRNA, and glucose supplementation instead of food during 72-h water deprivation inhibited the CYP2E1 induction. Chlorzoxazone (CZX) is metabolized to 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone (OH-CZX) mainly by CYP2E1 in rats. (omitted)

Sleep deprivation is an extremely common event in today's society. It has caused learning cognitive skill deterioration and poor concentration, increased disease such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity, sexual function decrease, infertility increase, depression and autonomic nervous system disorder. Sleep deprivation-induced stress caused NADPH oxidase and oxidative stress. And this oxidative stress induces apoptosis. Lilii bulbus and Nelumbins semen are known to mental and physical relaxation effects. In this study, we induced sleep deprivation(SD) in Sprague-Dawley rats in water for 5 days and thereafter administered orally L. bulbus and N. semen for 5 days. Brain tissues were observed by histochemical, immunohistochemical and tunel staining. The immunoreactives of Tumor necrosis factor ${\alpha}$, Neuronal nitric oxide synthases, Phospho-SAPK/JNK and gp91-phox of the L. bulbus administered group and N. semen administered group were weaker than those of sleep deprivation group. In the L. bulbus administered group and N. semen administered group, apoptosis was decreased than that of sleep deprivation group. Proapoptotic p53, Bax, Cleaved caspase 3 immunoreactives of the administered group were weaker than those of sleep deprivation group, whereas anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 immunoreactity was stronger in the L. bulbus administered group and N. semen administered group. Antioxidant mechanism such as DJ-1, superoxide dismutase 1, Nuclear factor-like 2 immunoreactives of the L. bulbus and N. semen administered group were stronger than those of sleep deprivation group. These results demonstrate that L. bulbus, N. semen had the neuroprotective effects on the sleep deprivation-induced oxidative stress in the hippocampus.

Objective: The water extract of Chilgi-tang (CGT) has been traditionally used in treatment of heart diseases caused by stress in Oriental Medicine. However, little is known about the mechanism by which CGT rescues neuronal cells from injury damage. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of CGT on Neuro-2A cells by glucose deprivation-induced cell death. Methods: We investigated how cell death induced by glucose deprivation was associated with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Result: The CGT treatment prior to glucose deprivation insult significantly reduced the number of cell deaths and the glucose deprivation-induced increase in ROS. Nitric oxide (NO) was also attenuated by CGT treatment. In addition, we demonstrated that the anti-cell death effect of CGT was blocked by heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) activation. Finally, pretreatment of cells with a hemin, HO-1 inducer, reduced glucose deprivation-induced cell death. In contrast, pretreatment of cells with a ZnPP, HO-1 activity inhibitor, attenuated CGT-induced inhibition of cell death. Conclusions: These findings indicate that ROS plays an important role in glucose deprivation-induced cell death and that CGT may prevent glucose deprivation-induced cell death by inhibiting the ROS generation through HO-1 activation in Neuro-2A cells.
