Lin Songzhou (Professor of the Department of Medicine, Taipei Medical University, Taiwan, China) Magnoliaceae plant Schisandra is a natural crude drug, which is listed as the top grade in Shennong Herbal Classic. The flesh tastes sweet and sour, the core tastes hard, and the fruit contains salty taste.
The dried fruit of Schisandra chinensis contains a very strong hepatoprotective ingredient gomisinA. In the experiment of inducing acute liver failure in rats, it was found that Schisandra can effectively prevent and treat acute liver failure and prolong the survival period of rats.
In the experiment of injuring the liver cells of rats with carbon tetrachloride, it was found that when carbon tetrachloride enters the body, the enzymes of liver cells will be significantly reduced, and the concentrations of enzymes SGOT and SGPT in the serum, which are indicators of liver function, will increase significantly. Taking Schisandra chinensis 30 minutes before and 6 hours before carbon poisoning, it was found that the liver cell enzymes SGOT and SGPT remained normal. Research
The results showed that pre-administration of Schisandra chinensis 30 minutes before carbon tetrachloride poisoning had a more significant hepatoprotective effect than oral administration 6 hours before.
The strong hepatoprotective effect of Schisandra chinensis can be evaluated for using Schisandra chinensis as an effective hepatoprotective agent derived from natural crude drugs.
Comment
"Finally a senior professor came out to speak for Shen Nong's Materia Medica. This book is thousands of years earlier than the Compendium of Materia Medica. However, Taiwan's Department of Health followed the Compendium of Materia Medica. Schisandra is used in the powder to strengthen the heart, and it is also used in the Xiaoqinglong Decoction used by the northern school to treat colds, because it can cure coughs. At the same time, we need to strengthen the liver first when we treat the lungs, so we also need to strengthen the liver. I admire this professor Research."
