چکیده
In a clinical trial conducted at the China Medical University in Shenyang, China, designed to determine the inhibitory effect of Astragalus on gastric cancer cells, human peritoneal mesothelial cell (cells that lines the body's serous cavity and internal organs) was co-incubated with gastric cancer cells and/or Astragalus. The results of this study found that Astragalus could partly suppress the apoptosis (programmed cell death) in the cells. They concluded that Astragalus inhibits apoptosis caused by the gastric cancer cells, and can be used in gastric cancer therapy. [2]
