RESUMEN
Objective To observe the effect of Anshenbunao Syrup on learning and memory capability in mice. Methods The learning and memory capability of mice was investigated by Y-water maze test and step-down test. The contents of protein, DNA and RNA were investigated by Lowry methods, the diphenylamine reagent method and Oricinol reagent method. Result Anshenbunao Syrup could enhance the memory capability of normal mice and improve the memory emersion disorder of mice induced by ethanol. In addition, it could increase the contents of protein and DNA in brain of mice. Conclusion Anshenbunao Syrup could improve the learning and memory capability of normal and memory emersion disorder mice, and its mechanism may be related to promoting protein synthesis in brain.
