Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how specific genetic variations (SNPs) and demographic factors affect the effectiveness of the blood pressure medication felodipine in healthy Chinese individuals.
- 24 participants were analyzed using advanced methods to determine the relationship between these genetic markers and blood pressure changes.
- Results indicate that individual responses to felodipine vary significantly, with certain SNPs particularly influencing systolic and diastolic blood pressure reductions.
Ethnopharmacology Relevance: Albiflorin, a monoterpene glycoside, is a main component of Radix paeoniae Alba, which could be a Chinese herbal medicine used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. However, the exact role of albiflorin in depression is poorly understood.
Aim Of The Study: The current study aimed to evaluate the antidepressant effect of albiflorin in mice and rats, and the possible mechanism was also determined.
