The Meaning of Plants' Names: A New Discovering Approach to Its Medicinal and/or Toxic Properties

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2024 Feb 9;2024:9927160. doi: 10.1155/2024/9927160. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been the major cause of mortality all around the globe. Lespedeza cuneata abbreviated as L. cuneata with the authority name of Dumont de Courset (G. Don) is a perennial flowering plant commonly grown in Asian countries such as Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan. We aimed to investigate the L. cuneata extract's antiplatelet and antithrombotic properties as GC-MS analysis indicated that the extract contained short-chain fatty acids, which have been reported to possess beneficial ca...
