The role of peony bark

1. Effects on cardiovascular system: Paeonia lactiflora can increase coronary blood flow, reduce cardiac output and lower left ventricular work in anesthetized dogs. It has a significant protective effect on experimental myocardial ischemia, which lasts for a long time and reduces myocardial oxygen consumption.

2. Effects on the central nervous system: Paeonol has an antipyretic effect on fever in mice caused by oral administration of typhoid and paratyphoid vaccines, and reduces the body temperature of normal mice. Oral administration of paeonol can inhibit the writhing reaction and tail tenderness reaction of mice caused by intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid, counteract the hyperactivity of mice caused by caffeine, significantly prolong the sleep time of mice induced by cyclohexylbarbital sodium, and at high doses can cause the righting reflex of mice to disappear. It can significantly counteract the convulsions caused by pentylenetetrazol, strychnine, nicotinic acid and electric shock. The sites of action are the midbrain reticular formation and thalamus.

3. Anti-inflammatory effect: Intragastric administration of paeonol can inhibit the plantar edema of rats caused by dextran, acetic acid or carrageenan, and can inhibit the enhanced capillary permeability of the mouse abdominal cavity or guinea pig skin caused by acetic acid or 5-hydroxytryptamine, and inhibit the occurrence of stress ulcers in mice.

4. Antibacterial effect: In vitro experiments show that the decoction of moutan bark has a strong antibacterial effect on Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus, hemolytic Streptococcus, Pneumococcus, Vibrio cholerae, etc. The decoction of peony leaves has a significant antibacterial effect on Shigella dysenteriae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, and its active ingredient is gallic acid.

5. Anticoagulant effect: In vitro tests on human platelets showed that both the water extract of Paeonia lactiflora and Paeoniflorin can inhibit the production of thromboxane A2 by platelet arachidonic acid, thereby inhibiting platelet aggregation. This is due to the inhibition of the cyclooxygenase reaction from arachidonic acid to prostate H2. The methanol extract of Paeonia lactiflora has the effect of inhibiting experimental thrombosis caused by endotoxin.

6. Effect on the immune system: Oral administration of paeonol, paeonol, peony root, oxidized peony root and benzoyl peony root to mice can promote the clearance rate of intravenously injected carbon particles in the blood, even when the function of the mononuclear macrophage system is in a low state. Microscopic examination showed that the phagocytic capacity of Kupffer cells in the liver and macrophages in the spleen was enhanced.

7. Effect on lipid metabolism: Paeonia lactiflora and the paeonol and paeoniflorin it contains have an inhibitory effect on the lipolysis of adipocytes caused by adrenaline; Paeonia lactiflora water extract can increase the production of fat from glucose in adipocytes, and significantly increase the production of fat from glucose caused by insulin.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the effects and functions of peony bark, so you can choose it with confidence. It should be noted that now peony bark is used to treat diseases and the method of use should be carried out according to the doctor's advice.
