RESUMO
@#ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Jintong capsule on model rats of Tourette syndrome (TS) and explore its probable pharmacological mechanisms.MethodsSD rats were randomly divided into six groups: blank control, TS model, haloperidol and three Jintong capsule treated groups. Model rats were copied by intraperitoneal injection of iminodipropionitrile (IDPN). The stereotyped behaviors of model rats were recorded. Open field test was used to detect ability of space recognition of rats, high performance liquid chromatography was used to detect content of monoamines, and flow cytometry was used to detect the ratio of T lymphocyte.ResultsJintong capsule can ameliorate the stereotyped behaviors of model rats, decrease content of dopamine in striatum and increase the ratio of CD4/CD8.ConclusionJintong capsule can improve behaviors of model rats. The potential mechanism of Jintong capsule maybe: it can affect the dopaminergic system of model rats, and Jintong can enhance the immune system of model rats.
