Abstract
Methanol extract and its ethyl acetate fraction of peony root (Peonia lactiflora) were found to attenuate heart and brain injury in a rat model of ischemia-reperfusion. Thus, intake of peony root already approved for food in Korea could be beneficial for preventing myocardial and cerebral infarction caused by occlusion of coronary and cerebral arteries, respectively.
