What are the effects and functions of Tripterygium wilfordii?

There are many functions of Tripterygium wilfordii, the first of which is to regulate the liver.

In addition, the main function of Sanyeqing is to treat high fever convulsions, and it can even have a good effect on hepatitis diseases.

The role of three leaves green:

Effect on liver function: The rabbits in the control group were given tetrachlorofluorescein-I intravenously, and the radioactivity in the liver of the rabbits was measured at different times. The rabbits in the experimental group were first given Tripterygium wilfordii and then tetrachlorofluorescein-I, and then the measurement was performed. The results showed that the maximum absorption time of radioactivity in the liver area of ​​the experimental group was 8 minutes earlier than that of the control group, the average maximum absorption percentage of radioactivity was 5 minutes higher than that of the control group, and the average duration of radiation in the liver area was 6 minutes longer than that of the control group. The time when radioactivity started to decrease was delayed by 14 minutes compared with the control group. From the above results, it can be preliminarily seen that Tripterygium wilfordii has the effect of strengthening liver function.
