Effect of Schisandra chinensis: 1, Schisandra chinensis has obvious sedative effect on the central nervous system. Schisandra chinensis extract and alcohol A can reduce the spontaneous activity of mice, prolong barbiturate sleep time, inhibit animal aggressive behavior, and resist electric shock and chemical convulsion, which are similar to antipsychotics. It also has analgesic effect and muscle relaxation effect. 2. Liver-protecting effect The ethanol extract of Schisandra chinensis and Schisandra chinensis A, B, C, A, B, A and B have obvious protective effects on animal liver cell damage caused by chemical poisons, and can inhibit the release of transaminase and reduce the activity of ALT. It can obviously induce the activity of cytochrome P-450 in mouse and rat liver microsomes. Increase the detoxification ability of liver. Schisandra chinensis can also inhibit the carbon monoxide produced by CCl4 _ 4 metabolism and its consumption of NADPH during metabolism. 3. It acts on the cardiovascular system. Schisandra chinensis has the effect of dilating blood vessels. Schisandrin, Schisandrin C, deoxyschizandrin, etc. all inhibit the contraction of isolated mesenteric artery in dogs, and can increase the blood flow of isolated heart of pulse rats and coronary artery of anesthetized dogs.

Schisandra chinensis can enhance the function of bronchial epithelial cells in mice with chronic bronchitis. 6. Effects on metabolism and immune function Schisandra chinensis can promote the synthesis of hepatic glycogen, strengthen glucose metabolism and increase the synthesis of protein in hepatocytes. It can promote the DNA synthesis of lymphocytes, increase the production of lymphocytes and promote the immune function of spleen, while schisandrin can enhance the immunosuppression of adrenocortical hormone and resist the rejection of allogeneic tissue transplantation. 7, anti-ulcer effect Schisandra chinensis can inhibit the occurrence of stress ulcer, reduce the ulcer index, and inhibit the secretion of gastric juice. Need to remind everyone that Schisandra chinensis has a small toxicity, which can excite the respiratory center and increase the respiratory frequency and amplitude.
