When it comes to guogen, many people may not have heard of it. Guogen is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, so what is the health preserving effect of guogen? What are the functions of guogen?
Radix puerariae can promote Yang and relieve muscle, relieve rash and diarrhea, eliminate vexation and quench thirst. For typhoid fever, warm heat, headache, fever, thirst, diarrhea, dysentery, rash, hypertension, angina, deafness.
The effects of Pueraria lobata are as follows
Effect of 1 on smooth muscle
Daidzein in Radix Puerariae has anti acetylcholine effect and can significantly contract smooth muscle, which is considered to be the main component of spasmolysis effect of Radix Puerariae.
Effect of 2 on coronary circulation
Kudzu decoction, alcohol extract, total flavone and puerarin have obvious effect on dilating coronary artery, increasing coronary blood flow and reducing vascular resistance.
Effects of 3 on myocardial infarction and arrhythmia
Puerarin, daidzein and puerarin have obvious antiarrhythmic effects on rabbits induced by aconitine and barium chloride. Puerarin can also significantly shorten the time of arrhythmia induced by chlorpheniramine and epinephrine in rabbits. Puerarin can significantly reduce the size of myocardial infarction. It is considered to be a beta; - adrenergic receptor blocker.
Effects of 4 on cardiac function and myocardial metabolism
Puerarin and total flavonoids of Pueraria can slow down the heart rate, reduce the total peripheral resistance of heart, reduce the oxygen consumption of myocardium, and improve the efficiency of myocardial work. Puerarin can also significantly reduce the production of myocardial lactic acid caused by ischemia, and improve the metabolism of infarcted myocardium.
Effects of 5 on blood pressure and peripheral blood vessels
Puerarin can significantly improve microcirculation disorder, mainly by increasing the amplitude of microvascular movement and increasing local microvascular flow; puerarin can significantly dilate cerebral vessels, improve cerebral microcirculation and peripheral circulation. It is reported that puerarin can also improve microcirculation Retinal vascular terminal unit block state, thereby improving visual function.
6 inhibits platelet aggregation
Puerarin can inhibit platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) combined with ADP in human and animals; in addition, puerarin can significantly inhibit the release of 5-HT in platelets induced by thrombin, which has antithrombotic effect.
7 hypoglycemic effect
Puerarin can antagonize the hyperglycemic effect of epinephrine and has a certain hypoglycemic ability.
Effect of 8 on body temperature
The total flavonoids of Pueraria lobata has a long-lasting and obvious cooling effect on endotoxin induced hyperthermia, which is commonly used in exogenous fever.
The effect of 9 on memory
Total flavonoids and ethanol extract of Pueraria lobata can increase the content of acetylcholine in cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats, and reduce the activity of acetylcholine transferase in hippocampus, which can resist the impairment of memory acquisition induced by scopolamine. This indicates that Pueraria lobata has the ability of improving learning and memory.
