Abstract:
본 발명은 상백피( Mori Cortex Radicis) 추출물을 유효성분으로 포함하는 우울증의 예방 또는 치료용 조성물을 제공한다. 본 발명은 글루코코르티코이드 수용체의 핵 내 이동을 억제함으로써 스트레스로 인해 유도되는 신호전달 과정을 저해하여 항스트레스 효과를 나타내며, 종래의 항우울제와 같이 글루코코르티코이드 수용체에 대한 길항제로서의 효능을 가지고 있어 항우울증 효능을 발휘할 수 있다. 또한, 본 발명은 상백피 추출물을 유효성분으로 포함하는 우울증의 개선 또는 완화용 식품 조성물을 제공한다.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A composition containing a Lindera obtusiloba BL. extract for preventing or treating stress diseases is provided to suppress glucocorticoid receptor activity and to suppress signal transduction induced by stress. CONSTITUTION: A composition for preventing or treating depression contains a Lindera obtusiloba BL. extract as an active ingredient. The extract is prepared by extracting with an organic solvent, water, or a mixture thereof. The organic solvent is ethanol, methanol, acetone, hexane, ethyl acetate, or methylene chloride. The extract is prepared using an ultrasonicator. The composition suppresses glucocorticoid receptor activation and reduces c-fos expression. A food composition for treating or relieving depression contains the extract as an active ingredient.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A composition for preventing or treating depression is provided to suppress nuclear translocation of a glucocorticoid receptor, thereby suppressing signal transduction induced by stress and showing anti-stress effect. CONSTITUTION: A composition for preventing or treating depression contains an ethanol extract of Mori Cortex Radicis as an active ingredient. The extract is prepared by an ultrasonicator. The composition is prepared by adding sodium carbonate to the extract and dissolving an insoluble material. The composition suppresses the activity of a glucocorticoid receptor. The composition suppresses nuclear translocation of the glucocorticoid receptor.
