Pharmacology
Antioxidation effects
Administered to mice, water-based extract of Tao Ren can significantly inhibit alcohol-induced hepatico-glutathion depletion and lipid peroxidation, and protect the subjects against damages caused by peroxidation.(11) Tao Ren can also reduce the level of lipid peroxide in the serum as well as in liver and brain tissues, and increase the activity of SOD.(12)
Anti-hepatic fibrosis
Tao Ren extract can significantly counteract hepatic fibrosis caused by CCl4. By promoting the dissolution of collagen (types‡T, ‡V, ‡W and ‡X) as well as of fibronectin, Tao Ren can significantly reduce the formation of fibrous septa composed of collagenous fibers and reticular fibers, thus stimulating the recovery of hepatic tissues.(13)
Anti-inflammation
Administered to mice (i.g. administration at 5.084g/kg for 4 days), Tao Ren can significantly counteract egg white-induced arthritis.(14) Tao Ren has suppressive effects on fibroblast growth in in-vitro cell cultivation. Furthermore, it can suppress the proliferation of inflammatory cells and fibroblast hyperplasia in subjects of experimental trabeculae dissection .(15)
Promoting recovery from wounds
Tao Ren injection (HHI-I) can increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the subcutaneous tissue of the ischemic rabbit ear that is caused by direct skin incision. This promotes blood flow in the microcirculation of ischemic skin, thus aiding the recovery from the incision.(16)
Suppressing platelet aggregation
Both in in vivo and in vitro models, Tao Ren can suppress the aggregation of platelets induced by the thrombin and diphosphric acid (ADP). This effect intensifies as the dose increases. In people with normal or high incidence of platelet aggregation, Tao Ren can significantly suppress the aggregation of platelets.(17)
Effects on the circulatory system
Tao Ren can significantly promote the blood flow in dogs' femoral artery, reducing vascular resistance. Also it can significantly increase the flow of perfusate in exsomatized rabbit ear vessels, and counteract the contractile effect of levarterenol on the vessel.(18)
Others
Tao Ren also has anti-allergic,(19) liver-protecting,(20) and intestine-lubricating effects.(21)
