Laxative Effect of Agarwood Leaves and Its Mechanism

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2008
We investigated the laxative activity of an extract of agarwood leaves from Aquilaria sinensis. The laxative activity was measured in mice by counting the stool frequency and stool weight, and the drugs were orally administered. An acetone extract of agarwood leaves and senna (a representative laxative drug) both increased the stool frequency and ...

Trunk Surface Agarwood-Inducing Technique: An Efficient Novel Method for Agarwood Production with Fungi

, 2017
Agarwood formation is available only when agarwood-producing trees are wounded. As already evidenced, this process may be sped up when some fungi or their cultural metabolites are injected into these trees. In the present study, we developed a novel method called Trunk Surface Agarwood-Inducing Technique (Agar-Tst) to produce agarwood with fungi in two
