Abstract:
The present investigation has been undertaken to evaluate adaptogenic and related properties of methanolic extracts of the G. lucidum and P. senega using various experimental animal models. The graded doses of MEGL and MEPS were evaluated for adaptogenic activity using acute restraint stress (ARS) and chronic cold restraint stress (CCRS) in adult albino rats of 150-200g. Withania somnifera was used as reference standard. In acute and chronic stress study, significant reversal of altered biochemical markers, organs weight and hematological parameters seen in treated groups. Oxidative injury in rat brain exposed to stress was significantly attenuated by the treatment of both test extracts at graded doses. Histological studies evident that pretreatment of MEGL and MEPS prevented congestion, ulceration, leucocytic infiltration, edema and necrosis in stomach. Test extracts significantly exhibited stress busting potential by reversing the altered brain levels of NA, DA and 5-HT. Also MEGL and MEPS at graded doses significantly reduced the number of writhes in chemical induced stress in mice. It is concluded that Ganoderma lucidum and Polygala senega are strong adaptogens of natural origin, mitigating physical, chemical, acute and chronic stress induced alterations. These agents can be of therapeutic value for various stress related disorders viz. gastric ulcer, hyperplycemia, oxidation, depression etc. The observed adaptogenic effect might be due to prevention of desensitization of peripheral and central components of HPA axis and also due antioxidant activity.
