What are the effects of the medicinal herb Cynomorium songaricum

1. Eliminate free radicals

Cynomorium songaricum can enhance the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in mouse serum and mitochondria, and can effectively eliminate free radicals in mice. In addition, Cynomorium songaricum can increase the activity of lipid peroxidase, thus having anti-aging effects. In addition, it also has the effect of preventing arteriosclerosis.

2. Impact on immune function

Cynomorium songaricum has the effect of enhancing animal immune function. Experiments have shown that it has a significant promoting effect on the humoral immunity of yang-deficient and normal mice, and its mechanism may be related to increasing the spleen and lymph nodes. Cynomorium songaricum can increase the reduced neutrophil count in yang-deficiency mice, thereby enhancing the body's defense function.

3. Tolerance to hypoxia and anti-stress

The total sugars, total glycosides and total steroids of Cynomorium songaricum can prolong the survival time of mice resistant to hypoxia at normal pressure and hypoxia induced by isoproterenol sulfate, prolong the survival time of mice injected with air intravenously, and increase the duration and number of mouth opening of decapitated mice.

4. Effects on glucocorticoids

Experiments show that Cynomorium songaricum extract can significantly increase the serum cortisol of mice in the model medication group and restore it to normal levels, but has no effect on the serum cortisol concentration of normal mice, indicating that Cynomorium songaricum has a bidirectional regulatory effect on glucocorticoids.

5. Laxative effect

The inorganic ions contained in Cynomorium songaricum can significantly enhance intestinal peristalsis and shorten the defecation time of mice. The soluble inorganic salt content is about 7%. The large amount of inorganic ions contained in it can form saline laxatives such as magnesium sulfate, sodium sulfate, sodium phosphate, etc. in aqueous solution, thereby playing a role in moisturizing the intestines and promoting bowel movements.

6. Impact on the reproductive system

It is generally believed that Cynomorium songaricum can strengthen male sexual function, but unprocessed Cynomorium songaricum can significantly reduce testicular function. However, after being processed with salt, it has a significant promoting effect on the functions of the testicles, epididymis and preputial glands of normal and yang-deficient mice. In the water extract of Cynomorium songaricum, the number and survival rate of epididymal sperm in mature rats were significantly increased, and the motility of sperm was enhanced. It is a commonly used medicine for the treatment of male infertility.

7. Anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects

Oleic acid and palmitic acid in Cynomorium songaricum have anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory effects respectively. In addition, it has been found that Cynomorium songaricum has anti-gastric ulcer, platelet aggregation inhibition, anti-HIV protease, anti-transcription and anti-cancer effects.

The above is an introduction to the effects of the medicinal herb Cynomorium songaricum.
