decoction alleviates primary dysmenorrhoea symptoms in a rat model.

Background: Existing treatments for primary dysmenorrhoea (PD), such as NSAIDs, impart side effects. decoction (GGD), a traditional Chinese medicine, has shown promise in treating PD, but its exact mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the efficiency of GGD in alleviating PD using a rat model to understand its precise mechanism of action.

Ge-Gen Decoction Exerts an Anti-Primary Dysmenorrhea Effect in Rats by Inactivating the HSP90/NLRP3/NF-κB/COX-2 Pathway.

Objective: Although Ge-Gen decoction (GGD) has beneficial effects on primary dysmenorrhea (PD), the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Our previous proteomic data revealed decreased level of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) in uterine tissues of rats with PD after GGD treatment. However, the potential role of HSP90 in the anti-PD effect of GGD and the underlying mechanisms remain unexplored.

Protein expression profiling of rat uteruses with primary dysmenorrhea syndrome.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and their functions in the uteruses of primary dysmenorrhea (PD) rats using label-free quantitative proteomics analysis.

Methods: The PD rat model was induced by injecting both estradiol benzoate and oxytocin. Twenty rats were equally divided into two groups: a control group (normal rats), a PD model group (PD rats).

The Therapeutic Effect of Ge-Gen Decoction on a Rat Model of Primary Dysmenorrhea: Label-Free Quantitative Proteomics and Bioinformatic Analyses.

Ge-Gen decoction (GGD) is widely used for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea (PD) in China. However, the mechanisms that underlie this effect are unclear. We investigated the protective mechanism of GGD in a rat model of PD using label-free quantitative proteomics.
