Exploring the anticancer potential of Actinidia chinensis Planch root extracts (acRoots) on hepatocellular carcinoma: A molecular mechanism study.

This study shows that has potential as a treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the seventh most prevalent cancer worldwide. It inhibits the growth and spread of HCC cells by blocking the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, leading to cell death.

Arctium lappa L. roots inhibit the intestinal inflammation of dietary obese rats through TLR4/NF-κB pathway.

Long-term consumption of L. root powder (ARP) leads to weight loss. ARP inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, down-regulates genes involved in TLR4 complexes, and reduces inflammation in the colons of obese rats. ARP has potential in improving intestinal health and treating obesity.
