Preferred Label : Astragalus-based Formulation Qing Shu Yi Qi Tang;
NCIt synonyms : Qing-Shu-Yi-Qi-Tang; QSYQT;
NCIt definition : An herbal remedy containing Astragalus membranaceus, Panax ginseng, Atractylodes chinensis
Koidz, Cimicifuga foetida, A. macrocephala Koidz, Alisma orientale Juzep, and Citrus
reticulata Blanco, with potential immunomodulating, anti-oxidant and anticachexia
activities. Upon oral consumption, the ingredients in this herbal supplement may modulate
the activity of the immune system through a decrease in both the expression of nuclear
factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such
as interleukin-1beta (Il-1b), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Increased
levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines are correlated with decreased appetite and weight
loss; thus, this herbal remedy may improve immune function, appetite and weight gain,
which could prevent cachexia.;
