What are the effects and functions of white peony? White peony is bitter, sour and cool in nature. Efficacy: dredging the liver and regulating qi, softening the liver and nourishing blood, easing the pain in the middle, calming the liver and astringing the yin.
Effects and functions of Paeonia lactiflora:
The main treatment of chest and hypochondrium distension, pain in the epigastric region due to the disharmony of the liver and stomach, menstrual disorders, menstrual cramps, abdominal pain and leakage, and spontaneous sweating, night sweating, headache, vertigo and other conditions.
(I) the efficacy and effect of Paeonia lactiflora, regulate immunity
1. Enhance the phagocytosis of macrophages and leukocytes Paeonia lactiflora decoction and Paeonia lactiflora total glucoside instillation can significantly increase the phagocytosis of abdominal macrophages in mice.
Both acidic and neutral polysaccharides of Paeonia lactiflora have the effect of activating the function of reticuloendothelial system.
2. Regulation of T-lymphocyte function: Paeonia lactiflora total glucoside has a bi-directional regulation of T-cell function. It can promote the induction of specific and non-specific regulatory cells. Intraperitoneal injection of Paeonia lactiflora total glucoside has obvious promotion effect on specific Ts cells, and can antagonize the immunosuppressive effect of cyclophosphamide.
3. Regulation of humoral immune function: total paeoniae lactiflora intraperitoneal injection has no significant effect on the antibody to SRRC hemolysin in normal mice, but it can antagonize the immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide, and restore the immune function to the normal level. It also significantly reduced the atrophy of thymus and spleen caused by 60CO irradiation and the inhibition of hemolysin antibody production. The total glucoside of Paeonia lactiflora can promote IgM production and reduce IgM production, which has a bidirectional regulatory effect on humoral immunity.
(2)Anti-inflammatory
Paeonia lactiflora glucoside has significant anti-inflammatory effect, and danpi phenol has strong anti-inflammatory effect. Paeoniflorin and salvinorin have significant inhibitory effects on capillary hyperpermeability, exudation and edema caused by a variety of inflammatory agents, as well as immune inflammation.
(C) on the digestive system
1. Hepatoprotective: Paeonia lactiflora has significant protection against a variety of experimental liver injury. For acute liver injury Paeonia lactiflora can make A1T significantly decreased. Restore hepatocyte lesions and necrosis.
For autoimmune hepatitis mice, intraperitoneal injection of Paeonia lactiflora total glucoside can cause a significant decrease in ALT, the ultrastructure of hepatocytes basically returned to normal, hepatocyte regeneration is active, and the degree of liver lesions is significantly reduced. The proliferative response of splenic lymphocytes induced by membrane-specific lipoproteins in the liver and the USSR was restored, indicating that total paeoniflorin not only has an obvious therapeutic effect on autoimmune hepatitis, but also has a function-dependent immunomodulatory effect.
2. Antispasmodic: Paeonia lactiflora and paeoniflorin have significant antispasmodic effects on intestinal smooth muscle. Paeonia lactiflora glycyrrhiza at low concentrations can promote gastric motility, increase and contractility, while high concentrations inhibit contraction. Paeonia lactiflora and licorice soup, as well as Paeonia lactiflora and licorice, can inhibit ileal contractions caused by parasympathetic excitation. Paeonia lactiflora inhibits the release of acetylcholine from parasympathetic nerve endings as a presynaptic inhibition. Paeoniflorin is the main component of antispasmodic, peony antispasmodic also related to other components.
The inhibitory effect of Paeonia lactiflora and Glycyrrhiza glabra Tang on rabbit intestinal smooth muscle is stronger than the efficacy of the two herbs in the formula when used singly.
Paeonia lactiflora in Paeonia Glycyrrhiza Soup, each of which was selected from the five concoctions of Paeonia lactiflora, had a significant inhibitory effect on acetylcholine-induced intestinal spasm. The effects of the five methods of preparation were strongest in the case of the vinegar-fried Paeonia lactiflora, followed by the bran-fried and wine-fried ones, and weakest in the case of the clear-fried ones.
3. Anti-gastric ulcer: Paeonia lactiflora glucoside and danpi phenol have a significant inhibition of stress ulcers and gastric acid secretion in mice 's effect. Paeonia lactiflora and licorice used together have a synergistic effect on gastric acid secretion.
(IV) On cardiovascular:
The aqueous extract of Paeonia lactiflora can significantly prolong the survival time of isoproterenol-induced myocardial hypoxia in mice, antagonize myocardial ischemia induced by post-pituitary leptin, and increase myocardial trophic blood flow.
Intravenous injection of Paeonia lactiflora total glucoside increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure in rabbits and cats.
The aqueous extract of Paeonia lactiflora can inhibit ADP-induced platelet aggregation, and total paeoniflora glucoside can reduce the wet weight of platelet thrombus and inhibit thrombosis, and its active ingredients are oxypaeoniflora glucoside, benzoylpaeoniflora glucoside, and benzoyloxypaeoniflora glucoside.
(5) Analgesic, sedative, antitussive, hypothermia:
1. Analgesic: paeoniflorin, paeoniflorin, and paeoniflorin glycyrrhizic soup have significant analgesic effects.
2. Sedation: both paeoniflorin and salvinorin have sedative effects and have potentiated the effects of hypnotics.
3. Anti-convulsive: paeoniflorin and danpi phenol have anticonvulsant effect, and can significantly reduce the electroencephalographic spasm wave, suggesting that there is an antiepileptic effect.
4. Antipyretic: paeoniflorin can reduce the body temperature of normal mice, but no antipyretic effect on fever. The hypothermic effect of paeoniflorin is related to its ability to sensitize H1 receptors in the brain.
Salvia divinorum can lower the body temperature of normal mice, but also has antipyretic and hypothermic effects on fever.
(F) enhancement of hypoxia and antioxidant, anti-fatigue
1. Enhancement of hypoxia tolerance: white peony aqueous extract intraperitoneal injection can significantly prolong the time of death of mice under normobaric hypoxia, can significantly prolong the time of hypoxia survival in mice under depressurized conditions.
2. Antioxidant: total danpi glucoside and total paeonia lactiflora glucoside have scavenging effect on oxygen free radicals, and total danpi glucoside can significantly inhibit the formation of hepatic lipid peroxidation and AlT elevation. It shows that the components of white peony have antioxidant effects.
3. Anti-fatigue: The alcoholic extract of Paeonia lactiflora can significantly prolong the swimming time of mice.
(VII) Other
1. Endocrine effects of paeoniflorin on the hypothalamus a pituitary an adrenal axis function has a bidirectional regulation of the function of both the stress state of the rat plasma corticosterone and ACTH significantly higher, but also highly excited state of the plasma corticosterone, ACTH and β-endorphin response to the reduction.
2. Antibacterial, antiviral White peony decoction has a broad-spectrum antibacterial, antiviral effect.
3. Anti-mutagenic effect Paeonia lactiflora has a strong inhibitory effect on the mutation of Salmonella typhimurium.
