Antihypertensive effect
Eucommia leaf and skin have the same antihypertensive effect, and the leaf is more effective than the skin. Research shows that the yellow and fallen leaves of Cortex Eucommiae have no obvious antihypertensive effect. The green leaves after frying or baking have more significant antihypertensive effect.
Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory function
Cortex Eucommia leaves are rich in chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acid has broad-spectrum antimicrobial, excitation of central nervous system, enhancement of bile and gastric juice secretion, hemostasis, increase the number of white blood cells and antiviral effects.
Elimination of body wastes
Cortex Eucommia Ulmoides leaves on the liver, heart, serum superoxide anion, free radical scavenging rate of more than 76.8%, reduce the role of liver tissue peroxidation of lipids up to 64%.
Pharmacological effects of eucommia
1. Anti-tumor effects
Modern pharmacological experiments have proved that eucommia has the effect of anticancer and cancer inhibition, and its active ingredients and its eucommia contained lignans, phenylpropanol, and cycloartenol ether terpenoids compounds related. The butyrophilin disaccharide glycoside contained in eucommia has good activity in lymphocytic leukemia P388(Ps) system, and the concentration of 12.5mg/kg can control the T/C value)?126.
Diproflavone isolated from the chloroform extract of eucommia leaf is a kind of immunosuppressant substance interfering with the function of T-lymphocyte, and it has good effect on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (KB) and murine lymphocytic leukemia ( P388) both have growth inhibitory activity.
Cortex Eucommiae has the effect of excitation of pituitary adrenocortical system and enhancement of adrenocortical function.
2. On kidney weakness and lumbago
Cortex Eucommiae is a commonly used formula for the treatment of lumbago and back pain. Many chronic lumbar diseases, including lumbar soft tissues, lumbar vertebrae, posterior peritoneal organs, pelvic cavity, etc. 'chronic diseases.
Cortex Eucommiae is a commonly used prescription drug for treating lumbar soreness and lumbago
Such as lumbar muscle strain, lumbar vertebral osteophytes, chronic kidney disease, chronic urinary tract infection, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic ankylosing spondylitis, and chronic lumbar vertebral disc protrusion, etc., all of which are characterized by chronic lumbar soreness and lumbago. Cortex Eucommiae is used in combination with Chuanjiao, Cortex Eucommiae and Cuscuta to improve the symptoms.
3. About lowering blood pressure
The effect of lowering blood pressure of eucommia is applied only after the discovery of recent research, which is the development of the application of traditional Chinese medicine. It is effective in both primary hypertension and renal hypertension.
Nowadays, there are many antihypertensive drugs in clinic, and few of them are used to treat high blood pressure with eucommia preparations. However, dulcimer is more effective in improving symptoms such as dizziness and headache, and body sleepiness.
4. On the treatment of kidney disease
Cortex Eucommia Ulmoides, Chuanjian Broccoli and Elderberry, Lok Tak Ta and other medicines are used together to improve the lumbar soreness and lumbar pain in the short term, and reduce proteinuria in the long term.
The mechanism may be related to the fact that eucommia can promote adrenocortical function, increase hormone levels in the body, and improve glomerular blood flow. It also has an assisted lowering effect on renal hypertension.
5. Effects on cardiovascular system
