Abstract

The Mongolian medicine (Awei Wu Wei pills) was evaluated as a potential treatment for Hirschsprung’s migraine in a Sprague-Dawley rat model. The results of this study showed a dose-dependent decrease in the duration of ear redness and head scratching, two behavioral attributes of migraine. The mechanism involves inhibition of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling pathway, leading to decreased calcitonin gene-related peptide and nitric oxide expression and reducing vasodilation, serotonin, dopamine, and beta-endorphin concentrations following administration of Awei Wu Wei pills. In conclusion, Awei Wu Wei pills demonstrate promising antimigraine effects.

阿魏五味丸的抗偏头痛功效--僧侣的良药

在 Sprague-Dawley 大鼠模型中评估了蒙药（阿魏五味丸）治疗赫氏偏头痛的潜力。研究结果表明，该蒙药对偏头痛的两种行为特征--耳朵发红和搔头的持续时间有剂量依赖性的减少作用。其机制涉及抑制 c-Jun N 端激酶信号通路，导致降钙素基因相关肽和一氧化氮表达减少，以及服用阿魏五味丸后血管舒张、血清素、多巴胺和β-内啡肽浓度降低。总之，阿魏五味丸具有良好的抗偏头痛作用。

期刊介绍： Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based peer reviewed scientific journal for critical evaluation of research on chemistry, biology and therapeutic applications of nutraceuticals and functional foods. The major goal of this journal is to provide peer reviewed unbiased scientific data to the decision makers in the nutraceutical and food industry to help make informed choices about development of new products. To this end, the journal will publish two types of review articles. First, a review of preclinical research data coming largely from animal, cell culture and other experimental models. Such data will provide basis for future product development and/or human research initiatives. Second, a critical evaluation of current human experimental data to help market and deliver the product for medically proven use. This journal will also serve as a forum for nutritionists, internists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and all those interested in preventive medicine. The common denominator of all of the topic to be covered by the journal must include nutraceuticals and/functional food. The following is an example of some specific areas that may be of interest to the journal. i) Role of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients on cardiovascular health, cancer, diabetes, ocular health, mental health, men’s health, women’s health, infant nutrition, ii) Role of herbals on human health, iii) Dietary supplements and sleep, iv) Components of diet that may have beneficial effect on human health, v) regulation of apoptosis and cell viability, vi) Isolation and characterization of bioactive components from functional foods, vii) Nutritional genomics, and viii) Nutritional proteomics.
