اسلاید 13: A biostatistical approach to Ayurveda: quantifying the Tridosha. Joshi R. J Altern Comp Med. 2004;10;5;879-889.Objective – create an equation to quantify the three doshasMethods280 subjectsAdd worth-coefficients to dosha characteristicsIndividual doshas predicted using equationPredictions compared to qualitative diagnosisResults – equation predicted correct dosha over 90%
اسلاید 14: Hypothalamic digoxin, hemispheric chemical dominance, and the tridosha theory. Kurup R, Kurup P. Intern J Neuroscience. 2003;113:657-681. ObjectivesShow that the three doshas represent different states of hemispheric dominanceShow how hemispheric dominance relates to certain disease and psychological statesMethods90 individuals aged 20-30 years divided into six groupsRight hemispheric dominance, left hemispheric dominance, and bihemispheric dominanceThe three doshas – vata, pitta, kapha
اسلاید 15: Six factors were assessed in the individuals in each groupThe isoprenoid pathway – HMG CoA reductase, serum digoxin, dolichol and ubiquinoneRBC Na+-K+ ATPase activity and serum magnesiumNeurotransmitter patterns – tryptophan, serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, tyrosine, quinolinic acid, strychnine, nicotine, and morphine
اسلاید 16: Factors continuedSerum lysosomal enzymes, total glycos-aminoglycans (GAG) and different GAG fractions, glycolipids, and carbohydrate residues of glycoproteinsFree radicals and scavenging enzymesRBC membrane compositionSerum digoxin and RBC Na+-K+ ATPase activity assessed in several disease states and psychiatric conditions (15 cases or individuals per condition) to find a correlation between tridosha and disease
اسلاید 17: ConclusionsCorrelation between tridosha and hemispheric chemical dominanceLink between doshas and predisposition to diseases and psychological states
اسلاید 18: Classification of human population based on Ayurvedic concept of Prakriti. Patwardhan B, Joshi K, Chopra A. J Altern Comp Med. 2005;11:349-353. Objective – assess relationship between prakriti and phenotype in a healthy populationMethods76 subjectsDNA extracted and genes typedPrakriti assessedResults – frequency of certain alleles associated with vata and kapha, but pitta had no significant association with any allelesConclusion – correlation found, but need larger sample size
اسلاید 19: ConclusionsEvidence supporting/validating the tridosha theory of Ayurveda looks promisingMore research needs to be done to gather a larger body of evidenceAdditional research needs to be conducted in the area of Ayurvedic herbsBiochemical, pharmacological, and toxological especially
