Experimental Study of the Effects of Herbs and Chromium on the Growth Metabolism and Anti-viral Functions of Myocardial Cells
Abstract: The effects of Chineee herbal metdicines(Ophiopogon japonieus,Astragalus membranaceus)and a traceelement(chromium)on the growth metabolism and the anti-Virus titer in cultured human and mousemyocardial cells were studied.The resul ts showed that these drugs and chromium could remarkably en-hance growth metaboism and anti-virus effects,also prolongate the survival time of these cells,and increase spontaneous contraction of mouse myocardial cells.
