The aim of this study was to assess the activity extracts from Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC (PG) in a model chronic bronchitis rats. research carried out on three water extracts: E1 – roots field cultivated PG; E2 biotransformed E3 callus PG. differed saponins and inulin levels—the highest measured lowest E1. Identification secondary metabolites performed using two complementary LC-MS systems. Chronic induced by sodium metabisulfite (a source SO2). Animals were treated with for weeks (100...
The aim of the study was to investigate effect baicalein or Scutellaria baicalensis root extract interaction with methyldopa in pregnant spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) at pharmacodynamic, molecular, and biochemical levels. rats, after confirming pregnancy, received (200 mg/kg/day, p.o.)
