BACKGROUND
Houttuynia cordata Thunb. (Saururaceae) is used traditionally in Asian countries to treat various disease symptoms.
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of H. cordata ethyl acetate (HC-EA) extract on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hepatic steatosis.
METHODS
HFD fed rats were orally dosed with HC-EA
The protective effects of Houttuynia cordata aqueous extract (HCAE) in mice consuming a high saturated fat diet (HFD) were examined. HCAE, at 0.5, 1, or 2%, was supplied in drinking water for 8 weeks. HCAE was rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids. HCAE intake at 1 and 2% decreased body weight,
OBJECTIVE
To study the solubilization of O/W microemulsion system for volatile oil from Houttuynia Cordra and determine the formulation of its microemulsion.
METHODS
The solubilization curve was drawn from pseudo-ternary phase diagram plotted by using the method of titration. The microemulsion's
Houttuynia cordata Thunb. is used in folk medicine for diuresis and detoxification. However, it has not yet been reported to have an anti-obesity effect. We found that the water extract of H. cordata leaves (WEH) inhibited the corn oil-induced increase in plasma triglyceride levels in mice. WEH also
The protective activity of a mixture of aqueous and ethanolic extracts from Houttuynia cordata Thunb, Nelumbo nucifera G. leaves, and Camellia sinensis seed (HNC) was evaluated in C57BL/6 mice. Pretreatment with HNC prevented the elevation of serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine
