Studies on the sedative effect of Cistanche deserticola

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1998
In this study, we investigated the sedative effect of Cistanche deserticola Ma. (CD) on hexobarbital-induced sleeping time in mice and spontaneous motor activity by using automated activity meter in rats. It was found that crude extract of CD could prolong the hexobarbital-induced sleeping time and reduce spontaneous motor activity, including ...

Hepatoprotective Activity of Phenylethanoids fromCistanche deserticola

Planta Medica, 1998
Four phenylethanoids isolated from the stems of Cistanche deserticola, acteoside (1), 2'-acetylacteoside (2), isoacteoside (3) and tubuloside B (4), significantly suppressed NADPH/CCl4-induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes. Addition of them to primary cultured rat hepatocytes efficiently prevented cell damage induced by exposure to CCl4 or

Cistanches herba Induces Testis Cytotoxicity in Male Mice

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2011
We investigated the effects of Cistanches herba (CH) on the male reproductive system in mice, assessing CREM gene expression and spermatogenesis. Our results demonstrate that CH treatment lead to a significant decrease in sperm count dose-dependently, 298.3 ± 48.9 vs. 296.6 ± 102.4 (250 mg/kg), 236.7 ± 75.1 (500 mg/kg), 223.0 ± 48.7 × 10(6) (1000 mg/kg)
