The results obtained indicate that A. sinensis extract can prevent the OVX-induced bone loss in rats via estrogen-independent mechanism.
Antioxidant - The antioxidant activities of three popular ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, namely Angelica sinensis (AS), Lycium barbarum (LB) and Poria cocos (PC) were evaluated in this study.
The results showed that aqueous extracts of these crude drugs exhibited antioxidant activities in a concentration‐dependent manner. All extracts displayed an inhibitory effect on FeCl2‐ascorbic acid induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver homogenate in vitro.
