title: Effect of the Chinese traditional medicine "Bushen Yinao Pian" on the cerebral gene expression of the senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8/ta.
abstract: The effect of Chinese traditional medicine "Bushen Yinao Pian," a complex prescription used for anti-aging, on the cerebral gene expression of the senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8/Ta (SAMP8/Ta) had been studied with messenger ribonuclear acids reverse transcription differential display polymerase chain reaction (mRNA DDRT-PCR). Eight differential displayed bands had been discerned and sequenced. The sequences of those fragments are matched to adipocyte-specific protein-5; low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein associated protein-1; reticulon-3; cysteine and histidine-rich domain (CHORD)-containing, zinc-binding protein-1; cytochrome c oxidase subunit-2 (Cox-2); cytochrome c gene, MC1; DNA sequence from clone RP23-72M11 on chromosome X, respectively and a novel sequence fragment. Most of these genes are aging-related. It can be proved that the "Bushen Yinao Pian" truly has anti-aging function.
