Woohwangcheongsimwon is a traditional medicine for treating hypertension, arteriosclerosis, coma, and stroke in China and Korea. To assess potential interactions of herb and drug metabolism, commercially available Woohwangcheongsimwon suspensions were examined for their potential to inhibit the
1. The effect of dietary Angelica keiskei on lipid metabolism was examined in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). 2. Six-week-old male SHRSP were fed diets containing 0.2% A. keiskei extract (ethyl acetate extract from the yellow liquid of stems) for 6 weeks with free access to the
1. Previously, we found that Angelica keiskei extract (ethyl acetate extract from the yellow liquid of stems) elevated serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels and reduced liver triglyceride content in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). To identify the active substance in A.
Recently, we found that 4-hydroxyderricin, one of the major chalcones in Angelica keiskei extract (an ethyl acetate extract from the yellow liquid of stems), suppressed increases in systolic blood pressure and reduced both serum very low-density lipoprotein levels and liver triglyceride content in
1. Recently, we reported that 4-hydroxyderricin, one of the major chalcones in Angelica keiskei extract (ethyl acetate extract from the yellow liquid of stems), exerted hypotensive and lipid regulatory actions in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). In the present study, we isolated
