AIM: Caloric restriction (CR), which limits the caloric intake to 60-70% of ad libitum (AL) amounts in various experimental animals, delays aging and extends the lifespan. We previously showed that neuropeptide Y (NPY), an appetite-stimulating peptide, is essential for the anti-oxidative and life-extending effects of CR. Here, we investigated whether a Japanese traditional herbal medicine, rikkunshito (RKT), which induces NPY activation, has CR-like life-extending effects. METHODS: First, we evaluated the life-extending activity of RKT by examining the effect of long-term RKT administration on wild-type and NPY knockout mice. Furthermore, we tested whether RKT enhances CR-mediated beneficial effects under AL conditions with a normal diet and under mild CR conditions with a high-fat diet. We then used 3-nitropropionic acid or doxorubicin to induce oxidative stress, and analyzed the differences in survival rate, weight loss, gene expression and cellular oxidative damage among groups. RESULTS: RKT administration did not extend the lifespan of wild-type or NPY knockout mice. In the oxidative stress models, RKT treatment upregulated anti-oxidative gene expression in the liver. Furthermore, RKT administration reduced the oxidative damage in the liver compared to the CR conditions alone. However, on induction of oxidative stress by 3-nitropropionic acid or doxorubicin, RKT administration did not affect the survival rate. CONCLUSIONS: These results show that RKT administration only partially mimics the effects of CR at the cellular level, but not at the organismal level to increase the lifespan of mice.
