In this study, researchers from Shuguang Hospital, which is affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, investigated whether or not huang qi decoction (HQD) prevents liver fibrosis by affecting the Notch signaling pathway. The results of their study were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
The researchers concluded that HQD can prevent biliary liver fibrosis by inhibiting the Notch signaling pathway, making it a potential treatment for cholestatic liver disease.
