Resumen
Marine lipids have beneficial health effects due to the high content of long chain polyunsaturated omega-3-fatty acids (LC-PUFA), especially EPA (eicosapentanoic acid) and DHA (docosahexanoic acid) and they aretherefore of interest to use in products for human consumption.Marine phospholipids are very susceptible to lipid oxidation, due to the high amount of n-3 PUFAs, which cause loss of sensory and nutritional value in foods.In order to prevent the oxidation reactions, it is important to find out more on how different factors and compounds, such as pro- and antioxidants in the food, affect these reactions.The prooxidant activity of 𝐹𝑒3+, 𝐹𝑒2+ and Hemoglobin was tested and 𝐹𝑒3+ was selected as a prooxidant in the studied lipid system, which is the most abundant prooxidant in the emulsified system.The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity in 12 selected herbs using three different antioxidant capacity assays: Folin-Ciocalteu (FC), 2,2-diphenyl-1-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS). Based on the results of these assays, antioxidant capacity of the most prominent antioxidants from the assays was determined in a liposome model system with marine phospholipids, where the rate of oxygen uptake was used to measure rate of lipid oxidation. Propyl gallate, a representative of a synthetic food antioxidant, was used as a reference due to its known high antioxidant capacity. This study also showed inhibitory effects of propyl gallate on iron catalyzed oxidation of marine phospholipids in liposomes.Antioxidant activity of the 5 selected herbs was measured by means of inhibition percentage of oxygen uptake in the liposome (phospholipid dispersion in buffer). With respect to the obtained results, Sage, Rosemary and Dill exhibited antioxidative effects, while Lemon balm and basil were found to be prooxidants at the tested concentrations.The comparison of the results obtained by the assays and by the study of the antioxidant effects in the liposome model system with catalyzed oxidation indicates that the AOC of the compounds could be dependent on the oxidation system and the applied prooxidants.

Resumen
Herbaceous species of European ancient woodland understories are affected by land use and climate change. Their distribution can be at risk because of their poor capacity to colonize isolated forest patches. The objective of this thesis was to compare the regeneration strategies of those species, with a focus on their germination traits. A database of ancient woodland seed traits was created by reviewing published information for 208 indicator species. The database included seed germination traits, embryo:endosperm ratio and other traits related to the plant regeneration strategy. Field surveys were conducted to compare the understories of old and recent woodlands in Spain and England. Community-weighted means of several seed traits were calculated to assess the functional regeneration ecology of the species that naturally colonize mature and recent forest patches. Two groups of understory species were described according to their regeneration traits. The first group included late flowering species possessing seeds with physiological dormancy that germinated in spring and had a requirement for light, cold stratification and high germination temperatures. Those species produced many small seeds and were taller, suggesting a good colonizing capacity. Species of the second group had seeds with morphophysiological dormancy, and were able to germinate in absence of light following a warm stratification. They produced few big seeds on short stems, suggesting a poor colonizing capacity. Species of the first group were abundant in the recent plantation sites while species of the second one characterized the plots on mature forests. Forest specialists can be differentiated from other forest species on the basis of their germination traits. The identification of regeneration strategies characteristic of poor colonizing understory species provided the basis for planning restoration interventions for European temperate forest understories according to species germination strategies.

Resumen
This study investigate the effects of four Chinese herbs for their potential therapeutic use as analgesics. It involved screening for inhibitors of enkephalin-hydrolysing enzymes, especially selective NEP inhibitors, mixed NEP/APN inhibitors and mixed NEP/ACE inhibitors. NEP was the key enzyme in the screening systems. Four Chinese herbs Yan (Corydalis yanhusuo T. Wang); Gou (Nauclea sinensis Oliv. ); Qiang (Notopterygium incisum Ting ex H.T. Chang); and Chuan (Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort.) were tested for their inhibitory effects on NEP activity measured in a rat kidney extract. Aqueous extracts of Gou and Qiang showed the significant inhibitory activity on NEP but results with organic extracts were not significant. Gou showed the strongest inhibitory activity on NEP. It was found that Gou also showed an inhibitory activity on the other two enkephalin-hydrolysing enzymes, APN and ACE in the microsomal mixture. A rat-brain opiate-receptor preparation (section 5.2.1) was used in ligand binding experiments with competition for the receptor sites between the aqueous Gou extract and tritium-labelled naloxone. For very small quantities of Gou there was a lowering of naloxone binding showing the antagonistical action of Gou. At higher concentrations (> 4 mg/ml of Gou) there was a tendency for naloxone binding to increase demonstrating potential agonistic activity. To test whether one compound in Gou had inhibitory activity on the three enzymes, or several compounds acting together, the aqueous extract of Gou was separated by HPLC. The HPLC-eluted fractions were pooled into seven parts and collected. The seven eluates were assayed for their effects on NEP proteolysis of 3H(leu)- enkephalin. Only six eluates showed inhibitory activity on NEP. The three single compounds already fractionated by others (rhynchophylline, mitraphylline and poteropodine) were shown to correspond in the Pool 7. An unexpectedly large number of active fractions suggest that many active compounds are present in Gou. It can be concluded that of the four herbs tested Gou (Nauclea sinensis Oliv) offers considerable potential as a novel analgesic agent. The work described in this dissertation was carried out in the School of Biomolecular Science, Liverpool John Moores University from October 1994 to May 1999. Unless otherwise stated it is the original work of the author. This dissertation has not been submitted, in whole or in part, for any other degree at this or any other university.

Resumen

I combined comparative and experimental studies in the field and in the greenhouse to examine factors influencing reproductive success in two insect-pollinated herbs, the tristylous, selfincompatible perennial Lythrum salicaria and the self-compatible, biennial Pedicularis palustris. More specifically, I explored (i) the effects of plant population characteristics on the intensity and outcome of interactions with pollinators and seed predators, (ii) whether flower morphology affects duration of stigma receptivity, and (iii) whether damage-induced reduction in floral display reduces pollinator visitation and increases pollen limitation.

As predicted, the rate of pollinator visitation tended to increase and the number of flowers probed per plant tended to decrease with increasing population size in L. salicaria, but these relationships only approached statistical significance. By taking advantage of the pollen size polymorphism that is typical of many heterostylous plants, I could show that the number of compatible pollen grains received increased with population size, and that this was associated with a reduction in pollen limitation and increased seed output per flower. The deposition of high numbers of incompatible conspecific and heterospecific pollen grains did not appear to reduce seed set.

In P. palustris, fruit set and seed predation varied markedly among populations and years, but this variation could only partly be explained by variation in population size. Fruit set was positively related to population size, and seed predation was negatively related to population size, in one of three years. Similarly, the level of pollen limitation, which was quantified in two years, varied among populations, but was not related to population size, density or isolation.

In L. salicaria, both the duration of stigma receptivity and the effect of prior self-pollination on seed output varied among style morphs. These differences may contribute to morph-specific differences in pollen limitation and seed production documented in the field.

The results of a field experiment demonstrated that damage to the shoot apex may markedly reduce fruit production in L. salicaria, and suggested that this is mainly because damage reduces flower number. I found no evidence that a reduced floral display increased the severity of pollen limitation.

Taken together, the results show that interactions with both pollinators and herbivores may markedly affect reproductive output in the two plant species, and that the intensity of both mutualistic and antagonistic interactions vary considerably in space and time. Moreover, they are consistent with the hypothesis that pollination success should depend less on population size in selfcompatible than in self-incompatible plants.

Resumen

In Sweden today, deciduous woodlands are often restricted to small isolated remnants of what it once was. Managing practices have changed concerning both cattle grazing and logging. Thus, dispersal, habitat requirements and their importance for forest species distributions become a relevant issue. Most of the species found in the deciduous flora are perennial herbs. I have examined population dynamics in the forest perennial Sanicula europaea, and its relation to environmental factors such as grazing, competition and spatial and temporal variation in such factors. Moreover I examined species distributions in relation to dispersal and habitat suitability in S. europaea and Dentaria bulbifera. To understand mechanisms behind the observed patterns I performed a number of experiments.

The results clearly demonstrated that the distribution and abundance of S. europaea was not dispersal limited, whereas the opposite held true for D. bulbifera. Moreover, mollusc exclusion increased recruitment thus influencing population dynamics in D. bulbifera. Leaf losses had negative effects on S. europaea individuals. These negative effects depended both on the extent, frequency and timing of the leaf losses and early losses were more severe than late. Population level effects of grazing were not negative as negative direct effects were counterblanced by positive indirect effects. The positive effects of grazing were mainly in terms of an increased recruitment.

In S. europaea, high variation in a life cycle transition was always coupled to low elasticity, and traits that varied much due to the examined environmental factors had little importance to population growth rate. A population level perspective is required to assess total effects of environmental factors. In perennial organisms such evaluations need to calculate integrated measures of the effects over the entire life cycle. Field studies spanning several years and demographic models are important to achieve these objectives.

Resumen
Hyperlipidemia is defined by abnormally elevated levels of one or more lipids such as cholesterol or triglycerides in the bloodstream. It also involves elevated levels of lipoproteins especially LDL-cholesterol and this is the most common form of dyslipidemia. Hyperlipidemia is the result of complex interactions between environmental and genetic factors. Hyperlipidemia is the main cause of congestive heart diseases in adulthood. It is also the main cause of atherosclerosis which is the pathophysiological cause of vascular diseases such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and stroke. It occurs due to disorders in lipid metabolism including elevation in cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, or triglyceride, or due to low levels of high density lipoprotein. Lifestyle is the main factor in prevention of hyperlipidemia. If lifestyle is not beneficial in the treatment or prevention of hyperlipidemia, drug therapy is required. Statins, fibrates, nicotinic acid bile acid sequestrants, and ezetimibe are approved drugs for the treatment of hyperlipidemia. Because of the tolerability problems, side effects, and low effectiveness of some of these drugs, discovery of new drugs is explored and investigated. Herbal products are not well explored as an alternative treatment for the treatment of hyperlipidemia. Ilex latifolia is a traditional Chinese medicine which has been used for decades for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and for weight loss. Prunella vulgaris, Rheum palmatum, and Panax notoginseng have been also used in traditional Chinese medicine. Very little work has been published about the effect of Ilex latifolia on hyperlipidemia. In this research project, Ilex latifolia hypolipidemic effect was compared to several herbs effects by assaying the effect of the extracts on pancreatic lipase. Ilex latifolia was the most active, and the other parts of the project focused on its effect on HMG-CoA reductase expression, and on LDL receptor expression in HepG2 and AML-12 hepatocytes. Ilex latifolia effect on mitochondrial metabolism, and glucose uptake was assayed in HepG2 and AML-12 hepatocytes. Chapter I is an introduction to hyperlipidemia, its types, causes, and treatment. A review of the literature relating to Ilex latifolia and other herbs and herbal compounds is given. Chapter II describes the assay of extracts from several herbs, and herbal compounds, for their inhibitory effect on pancreatic lipase, using orlistat as a positive control. It also shows that HPLC is more sensitive and accurate than a spectrophotometric assay of lipase. Ilex latifolia showed the most inhibition activity on pancreatic lipase compared to other herbs. Chapter III describes the fractionation of Ilex latifolia and pancreatic lipase inhibition activity of each fraction. Chapter IV describes the effect of Ilex latifolia extract on HMG-CoA reductase expression in HepG2 cells and the effect of Ilex latifolia extract on LDL receptors expression in HepG2 and AML-12 cells. Chapter V describes the effect of Ilex latifolia extracts on cell growth, mitochondrial toxicity, and glucose uptake in HepG2 and AML-12 cells. It also describes the effect of Ilex latifolia extract on ATP production in HepG2 cells. This study has demonstrated for the first time that Ilex latifolia can play a role in the treatment of hyperlipidemia through pancreatic lipase inhibition. Effects on HMG-CoA reductase inhibition and mitochondrial inhibition were not marked, but under some circumstances glucose uptake can be significantly affected. It remains to be seen, using animal studies and other cell culture models, whether inhibition of pancreatic lipase can wholly account for the hypolipidemic activity of Ilex latifolia, or whether other mechanisms may be involved.

Resumen
Herbs have been the basis for medical treatments through much of human history, and even now such herbalism is still widely practiced around the world. Most frequently and traditionally, water is used as the extraction solvent for preparing medicinal herbs to generate decoction or infusion for medicinal purpose. In other words, in most cases, multiple chemical components in water extracts should be responsible for therapeutic (toxic and side, if any) effects of medicinal herbs. Phytochemical analysis of water extracts for quality control of medicinal herbs is therefore important to ensure their safeties and efficacies. Unfortunately, however, it is not given enough attention in the modern research whereas the relative current studies are intensively focused on organic solvent-extracts of medicinal herbs. In this project, analysis of medicinal herbs’ water extracts is thus focused. Various analytical approaches have been exhaustively developed for qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemicals in water extracts of medicinal herbs. However, many research challenges in methodology still exist. Polysaccharides and small molecules are two most important kinds of chemcials in water extracts of medicinal herbs, so they also widely regarded as markers for quality evaluation. For analysis of small molecules, the levels of quantitative determination are always far unsatisfactory, normally less than 10%. For analysis of polysaccharides, the existed problems are even more serious in both sample preparation and chemical analysis. Ethanol precipitation is always the first step for crude polysaccharide preparation. But it is just directly used without optimization and its capacity has never been evaluated. Following that, chemical analysis of natural polysaccharide also suffers severe methodological bottlenecks and many drawbacks occurre in qualitative and quantitative characterization. Besides, polysaccharides and small molecules in medicinal herbs are always individually investigated but hardly studied together before. Concerning these issues, here several approaches and stratigies were accordingly proposed to improve the current situations using decoctions of some traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) as the research objects and examples. In detail, first, a quantitative method was developed for quality evaluation of Huang-Lian-Jie-Du-Tang. In this study, quantitative levels of small molecules were greatly improved, compared with the current analogous studies for quality evaluation of medicinal herbs. Then, shifting to polysaccharides, availability of ethanol precipitation for natural polysaccharide precipitation was critically evaluated. Parameters which could affect the ethanol precipitation results, such as structural features, molecular size of polysaccharide, and ethanol concentration were systematically investigated. Successively, a novel and rapid HPGPC-based strategy for quality control of saccharide-dominant medicinal herbs was proposed using Dendrobium officinale as the example. Polysaccharides in the decoction of Dendrobium officinale were qualitatively and quantitatively determined. The methodological superiority of the developed method compared with conventional approaches was highlighted. To facilitate this study, research on chemistry, bioactivity and quality control of Dendrobium was systematically reviewed in advance. After that, small molecules and polysaccharides in in Angelicae Sinensis Radix and Chuanxiong Rhizoma were compared together. Lastly, effects of ginseng polysaccharides on the in vivo pharmacokinetics of ginsenoside Rg1 on induced immunosuppressive model rats was investigated to provide a chemically holistic view for Du-Shen-Tang. By these studies, the above mentioned predicament in chemical analysis on both small molecuels and polysaccharides in water extracts of medicinal herbs were methodologically improved to varying degrees. Concerning small molecules and polysaccharides from multiple perspectives, the successive studies are helpful for enhancing quality evaluation and scientific understanding of medicinal herbs’ decoctions.

The objective of this study is to investigate the organophosphous pesticide residual in Chinese herbal medicine and in herbal tea and the degradation during storage. In addition, Solanum nigrum L. was used for organophosphous pesticide residual model study. Some Chinese herbal medicines used in “medical recipe for health” are yam (Dioscorea spp.), ligusticum (Angelica sinensis), medlar (Lycium chinense), Huang Gi (Astragalus membranaceus), Yi Ren (Coix lacryma-jobi), lotus seed (Nelumbo nucifera), red dates, Tremella fuciformis, ginseng, and He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum). Five popular herbal teas are Rosa rugosa, Lavandula officinalis, Matricaria chamomilla, Verbana officinalis and Tilia europaea. Organophosphous pesticide residues were found in angelica and medlar. A 44% angelia found monocrotophos in samples collected in Taiwan. One third of medlar had isoxathion was observed. The monocrotophos residue in ligusticum or medlar decreased along with extended storage time, and degraded easier at 25℃ than at 4℃. Monocrotophos degraded 44% to 64% after 10 days of storage at 4℃, while no monocrotophos could be detected 20 days of storage at 25℃. The trend of degradation for isoxathion is similar as for monocrotophos. Fethion, fenitrothion, isoxathion and ethion were found in fresh coix lachrima, Chinese yam, burdock (arctium lappa L.) and orange peel produced in Taiwan, respectively. No ethion was detected in dried orange peel sample. No organophosphous pesticide was observed in either in fresh or dried lotus seed, red dates, and Solanum nigrum L. Except Tilia europaea, residual malathion, malathion, mevinphos, and isoxathion was detected in commercial Rosa rugosa, Lavandula officinalis, Matricaria chamomilla, Verbana officinalis, respectively. As in Chinese herbal medicine, the organophosphous pesticide decreased rapidly after storages, a minor residue could still be detected after one month at 4℃. Methamidophos treated Solanum nigrum L., a soaking model experiment, showed a 50% degradation rate at 4℃ after 5 days and 4% residue after 15 days. The decreased rate of methamidophos at 25℃ after 6 days was similar as 4℃ for 15 days. Similar results were found in dimethoate. However, a faster degradation rate was observed in dehydrated samples as compared with the fresh one. In field spray test resulted in less organophosphous pesticide in both 4℃ or 25℃ storage.

Glycoside is an important class of constituents in decoctions of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This study investigated the presystemic metabolism of the glycosides of flavones, anthraquinones, monoterpenes and triterpene in various animal feces. Flavonoids are primarily present as glycosides in fruits, vegetables, beverages and Chinese herbs. It has been generally accepted that flavonoid glycosides reach the large intestine, where they are hydrolyzed to absorbable aglycones and further degraded by the intestinal microflora. The hydrolysis and degradation of hesperidin, naringin, rutin and phellamurin showed similar pattern when they were incubated with rabbit, rat and human feces. The isoflavonoid glycosides, genistin and daidzin, can be transformed into aglycone with rat and rabbit feces, however, puerarin cannot be hydrolyzed to daidzein with various feces. The result indicated that the C-glycoside cannot be hydrolyzed by intestinal bacteria. Among thirteen flavonoid aglycones, wogonin and diosmetin were among the less degraded ones for all three feces tested, indicating that the presence of a methoxy group on the A or B ring of the flavonoid seemed to protect the structure from bacterial degradation. Catalpol is a monoterpene glucoside in Rehmanniae Radix. Catalpol is very unstable in artificial gastric juice. When catalpol were orally given to rats and mice, no parent form or metabolites can be detected in the serum. Paeoniflorin is a monoterpene glucoside in Paeoniae Radix. The metabolism of paeoniflorin by various feces indicated that paeoniflorin was hydrolyzed to paeoniflorgenin (PG) by rabbit, rat, pig and human feces. When rats were orally administered with Paeoniae Radix decoction, paeoniflorin was not present in serum and PG was found as a major metabolite. Noncompartment model was used for the calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters of paeoniflorgenin. The Cmax, tmax, t1/2, and AUC0-t of PG were 8.0 μg/ml, 10 min, 126 min and 487.0 μg • min/ml, respectively. Quercetin glucosides and rutin are bioactive glycosides present in onion and Huaimi, respectively. The sugar moieties of glycosides are different in two sources. The total quercetin contents were assayed by HPLC method after acid hydrolysis. Rat and human feces were used to investigate the difference between the microfloral metabolism of onion and Huaimi containing equal molar quercetin glycosides. The results indicated those in onion were much easier to be hydrolyzed to quercetin than Huaimi by both feces. To investigate the presence of sulfatase in different species of animals, quercetin sulfates was incubated at 37℃ with artificial intestinal juice, b-glucuronidase, rat and human feces, respectively. We found that quercetin was significantly generated after incubation with rat and human feces. Therefore, sulfatase is present in rat and human gastrointestinal tract. Aloe-emodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol and their glycosides are bioactive anthraquinone constituents of Rheum palmatum. The metabolism of rubarb decoction was investigated in rat feces suspension using HPLC. The result showed that the four anthraquinones constituents were profoundly increased during incubation, indicating that anthraquinone glycosides existed predominantly in rubarb. Baicalin, baicalein, wogonin glycoside and wogonin are bioactive flavone constituents of Scutellaria baicalensis. The metabolism of Scutellariae Radix was investigated in rat feces suspension using HPLC. The hydrolysis and degradation of flavones in decoction of Scutellariae Radix (S), Scutellariae Radix fried with wine (SFW) and honey-treated Scutellariae Radix (HTS) showed similar pattern when they were incubated with rat feces. Pure glycyrrhizin was hydrolyzed to glycyrrhetic acid in a greater extent than glycyrrhizin in licorice decoction by rat, pig and human feces, whereas rabbit feces oxidized glycyrrhetic acid to 3-dehydroglycyrrhetic acid and resulted in less glycyrrhetic acid. This could explain the fact that oral dosing of pure glycyrrhizin resulted in much lower glycyrrhetic acid serum levels than that of licorice decoction in rabbits. The results indicated that rat and pig are proper animal models for the studies of the metabolism of pure glycyrrhizin and licorice decoction, whereas rabbit model is good for licorice decoction but not for pure glycyrrhizin. In conclusion, it can be therefore presumed that glycosides are hydrolyzed to absorbable aglycones after oral dosing Chinese medicine decoctions. The lipophilic aglycones can be absorbable by enterocyte, whereas those of poor lipophilicity may be degraded by enteral microflora. Due to the similar pattern of metabolism shown for all tested animal feces except rabbits, it can be concluded that rats and pigs are better animal models for investigating the metabolism of herbal glycosides in human.

In the late 20th century, the Aristolochic Acid controversies not only changed the concept of herbs in the international but transformed the regulation of herbs in Taiwan. By analyzing the Aristolochic Acid controversy in Taiwan, this thesis will investigate the following questions. How and why were the herbs considered toxic and risky? How did Taiwan government making policies by negotiating between the traditional Chinese medicine and the modern science? How did the multiple actors build the new concepts and new regulations of herbs under the globalization? At last, how did the Aristolochic Acid controversy structurally transform the herb regulation? The Aristolochic Acids are in Aristolochiaceae herbs, which are known for the renal toxicity and carcinogen. It was the Aristolochic Acids that cause the Chinese herb nephropathy in Belgium after the investigation in 1993. Aftermath, there were more and more poisoned cases around the Europe, America, and Asia. Thus, many countries set the bans on the preparations which contained the Aristolochic Acids. The toxicology medicine physician gave a speech about the renal toxicity of aristolochic acid in Chinese Herbal Toxicity Congress in Taipei in 2003. Also, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor made an appearance and claimed that he was the victim of Aristolochic acids. It aroused a great controversy between the modern medicine and the traditional Chinese medicine for prohibiting Aristolochiaceae herbs or not. This controversy, on the one hand, highlighted that it is unable to frame the toxicity and the efficacy of herbs by one type of knowledge. On the other hand, it also raised the public alert to the toxicity of herb. The regulation for the toxicity of herb became the essential issue to Taiwan government for expanding the global market of herb. To adjust the impact of WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy in 2002 and to join WTO in 2005, the Chinese medicine could not uphold the traditional regime to regulate the herb. However, they were not willing to accept the framework of biomedicine. The Chinese medicine integrated the modern technology and the concept of materia medica to build the new knowledge and the new regulations for herbs. There was also the new idea for herbal toxicity. The big data researches, such as the epidemiology and the National Health Insurance Research Databases, turned into the important scientific means to comprehend the efficacy, safety, and risk of herbs. As a result, the new knowledge and the new regulation model of herbs were taken shape. The government took this knowledge and system not only to quell the public doubts but to act as the quality guarantee for herbal preparations in the global market. Even though, there was some room for improvement in this new herbal safety system. In sum, after the Aristolochic Acid controversy, the regulation of herb turned into the regime of risk in Taiwan. Different from following the model of USFDA to prohibit the Aristolochic-Acid contained herbs, the Chinese medicine decided to establish the safety environment and negotiated the risk of herbs. Under the push-pull factors of herbal risk and global market, the Chinese medicine heterogeneously integrated knowledge, system, and actors to construct the safety of herbs by decreasing the risk of herbs. Furthermore, the Chinese medicine made the modern conventions to the quality of herbs in Taiwan.

Pathological and age-related neuronal degeneration exhibit a common feature in progressive cognitive impairments and memory decline due to neuronal death and a lack of neuronal regeneration. Strategies for anti-neurodegenerative diseases have aimed at reducing cell death, increasing activity of functional neurons and neuronal regeneration. Murine neuroblastoma N18 cells actively proliferated when grown in media containing 5% serum, however, they were readily induced to differentiate with neurites outgrowth under low serum. Water extracts from eight Chinese herbs exhibited distinct effects on differentiated and non-differentiated N18 cells. These herbs stimulated proliferation of the differentiated N18 as shown by MTT assay, however, they were cytotoxic for or have no apparent effects on the non-differentiated N18. The crude water extracts form Loranthus parasticus and Astragalus membranaceus promoted differentiation of N18 cell grown in high serum as shown in cessation of cell proliferation followed by neurites outgrowth. This suggested a stimulatory effect on induction of N18 differentiation. βamyloid peptide ( amino acid 25-35 ) were cytotoxic for murine neuroblastoma Neuro-2A as shown by MTT and LDH assays. Water extracts from Angelica sinensis, Dioscorea opposita, Nelumbo nucifera, and Rehmannia glutinosa protected Neuro-2A from Aβ25-35-induced cytotoxicity. Pretreatment of Neuro-2A cells with herbal water extracts enhanced protection against Aβ25-35-induced cytotoxicity. Our results indicated that Chinese herbal medicines are good resources for antiaging drug development.

In recent years, extracts from natural herbs play an important roles in the development of cosmetics. Furthermore, the research on the mechanism how the extracts work increase significantly. Thus, marketed cosmetics mostly use extracts from plant as raw materials or additives. In addition, some reports also suggest to use medical cosmetics to help connective tissue repair. As a result, medical cosmetics become popular with consumers. In this study, dozens of Chinese herbs were screened for the bioactivities in cosmetics. The herbs were extracted using ethanol and the extracts were used for the bioactivity assays. The results showed that the extracts from the five of the screened herbs exhibited bioactivities on either anti-oxidant, anti-inflammation, or anti-tyrosinase activity. Among them, extracts from Plumbago indica, Chenopodium serotinum, Herba hyperici, Clitorita ternatea, and Bidens pilosa showed significantly anti-inflammatory activity; extracts from Herba hyperici, Clitorita ternatea, and Bidens pilosa showed anti-oxidant activity; extract from Plumbago indica showed anti-tyrosinase activity.

Resumen
Herbal medicines remain integral part of indigenous health care system in Ghana. Most conventional health medicines are directly or indirectly derived from plants or herbs. Despite its significant role in modern medicine indigenous herbal practices has been on the low light for some time due to perceived antagonistic relationship that exists between practitioners of herbal medicine and their counterpart in the conventional system. Using an indigenous knowledge discursive framework, the thesis examined the relevance of herbal medicine to the contemporary Ghanaian society. The thesis also examined the tension between the indigenous herbal practitioners and their orthodox counterparts. The thesis noted that for health care system in Ghana to be effective, there is a need for collaborate relations between these two practitioners. Also, it was noted that for health care system to be effective in Ghana, spirituality has to be central in the works of the herbal practitioners.
