Coronary Heart Disease
In this research they looked at the TCM formula Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang and the mechanisms of it’s positive affect on Coronary Heart Disease. They found 139 active compounds and 127 overlapped target genes in the 11 herbs in XFZYT. Of these there were “30 important gene targets, such as interleukin-6, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, protein kinase B1, mitogen activated protein kinases 3, cellular tumor antigen p53, vascular endothelial growth factor A, transcription factor p65, and proto-oncogene c-Fos, participated in the regulation of 79 major signaling pathways related to CHD.”
