gastrodia elata/hypoxia

The phenolic glucoside gastrodin is the main component extracted from the rhizome of Gastrodia elata (Orchidaceae), a Chinese herbal medicine, which has long been used for treating dizziness, epilepsy, stroke and dementia. The present study aims to investigate the effect of gastrodin on

Injectio Gastrodia elata showed sedative effect on central nervous system with decrease of spontaneous motor activity and a prolonged pentobarbital sleeping time in mice. After administration of injectio Gastrodia, mice were found to be more resistant to hypoxia and nutrient blood flow in cardiac

The survival of plants in epiphytic environments depends on vegetative adaptations capable to defraud different stresses. Based on the structural diversity of the Orchidaceae, the current study has the objective of relating the anatomical structure of Dichaea cogniauxiana and Epidendrum secundum

Tian ma (Gastrodia elata, GE) is an ancient Chinese herbal medicine that has been suggested to be effective as an anticonvulsant and analgesic, and to have sedative effects against vertigo, general paralysis, epilepsy and tetanus. The primary active ingredient isolated from GE is termed gastrodin,

Parishins, important constituents of Gastrodia elata (G. elata), are known to exhibit a number of biological and pharmacological properties. However, their role and mechanisms of action in myocardial ischemia are unknown. The present study investigated the potential protective effects and mechanisms

Gastrodin (GAS), a monomeric component exacted from the herb Gastrodia elata Bl, may have cardioprotective effects during injury caused by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). For the significant role of autophagy in I/R process, we targeted to explore whether autophagy was contributing to the
