Identification of the improvement effects in mental functions caused by dietary constituents with comprehensive analysis system

在本研究中，采用综合分析系统来确定膳食成分对心理功能的改善作用。结果，与蛋白质喂养的小鼠相比，某些肽喂养的小鼠的抑郁和焦虑程度有所下降。然后，前者的脑重量增加更多，神经发生更促进。另外，在PC12细胞的培养基中加入一定的肽可诱导神经突伸长。此外，摄入海参有可能减少抑郁和焦虑。上述结果表明，综合分析体系可用于评价膳食成分对心理功能的改善效果。

In the present study, comprehensive analysis system was used to identify improvement effects in mental functions by dietary constituents. As a result, depression and anxiety were more declined in certain peptide-fed mice than in protain-fed mice. Then, brain weight was more increased and neurogenesis was more prompted in the former. In addition, certain peptide added to culture medium of PC12 cells induced neurite elongation. Furthermore, H. herinaceum intake has the possibility to reduce depression and anxiety. These results suggest that comprehensive analysis system is useful to evaluate the improvement effect of dietary constituents in mental functions.
