Thuya de Chine
Platycladus orientalis · Chinese Thuja
Platycladus orientalis, commonly known as Oriental Arborvitae or Thuja, is a traditional tree native to East Asia. While it has been used in various cultural practices, no specific traditional uses have been recorded for this plant. Scientific research indicates potential neuroprotective effects of Platycladus orientalis on retinal Müller cells under high-glucose conditions, suggesting possible benefits for ocular health. The study also identified key hormones and proteins involved in the rooting mechanism of the tree, providing insights into its propagation. Additionally, mixed plantations with Platycladus orientalis and Quercus variabilis showed higher soil fertility, fungal diversity, and network complexity compared to monoculture settings; however, long-term effects require further investigation. The bioactive compounds in Platycladus orientalis foliage vary depending on the solvent used and the age of the tree, with no major safety concerns or known drug interactions recorded.

Ce que dit la science
- EAPO provenant de Platycladus orientalis a montré des effets neuroprotecteurs sur les cellules Müller rétiniennes sous des conditions de glucose élevé en modulant les voies AKT1/mTOR et Raf-1/MEK1/2 via l'activation d'AMPK.
- L'étude a identifié les hormones et protéines clés impliquées dans la formation des racines adventices chez Platycladus orientalis, offrant des insights sur son mécanisme de racineur.
- Le mélange de plantation de Q. variabilis et P. orientalis a montré une plus grande fertilité du sol, diversité des champignons et complexité du réseau par rapport à la monoculture, mais les effets à long terme nécessitent une confirmation.
- L'étude a montré que différents solvants et âges d'arbre affectent la récupération et la composition des composés bioactifs dans les feuilles de Platycladus orientalis.
- Le traitement EAEPOL a montré des effets protecteurs significatifs contre la cardiomyopathie diabétique en améliorant la fonction cardiaque, réduisant la fibrose et renforçant la capacité antioxydante chez les souris.
- L'étude a montré que l'alopecia séborrhéique non traitée était associée à une dysbiose microbienne, caractérisée par une diversité réduite et des altérations dans les abundances de certaines générations, qui s'amélioraient après un traitement à base d'extrait végétal de shampoing sur 12 semaines.
