title: [Research traditional Chinese medicine properties by detecting rats' monoamine neurotransmitter after given two different traditional Chinese medicine].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To find out the essence of the traditional Chinese medicine properties from detecting the rats' monoamine neurotransmitter after given different traditional Chinese drug.
  
  
  METHODS
  The property of rhizome curcumae and radix curcumae is opposite, they were given to rats respectively for one month. Next, HPLC-ECD method was used to detect the rats' monoamine neurotransmitter in different encephalic region.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Rhizome curcumae can raise the rats' monoamine neurotransmitter, but radix curcumae inhibits the rats' monoamine neurotransmitter.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There are correlations between the traditional Chinese medicine properties and monoamine neurotransmitter.
