| Research Abstract |
We investigated the effect of a Chinese prescription, Wen-Pi-Tang, on the ALS model mouse SOD1G93A. Although the oral administration of Wen-Pi-Tang extract to SOD1G93A mice had no significant effect on body weight loss and survival time, Wen-Pi-Tang delayed disease onset. The administration of Wen-Pi-Tang was thought to delay disease onset by inhibiting glial cell activation.
