This work is the result of the author's many years of collaborative research with Peking University, Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine (formerly Xi'an Medical University), Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and other units. It is written by citing experimental research materials that have been published by relevant experts at home and abroad. Therefore, this book not only explains the contribution of Eucommia ulmoides' secondary metabolites to human health with detailed data and pictures, but also focuses on using experimental results to explain the pharmacological effects of its secondary metabolites' health-care functions. This is the characteristic of this book. The book is divided into 14 chapters, the main contents of which are: the historical origin of Eucommia and the discovery of medicinal effects; the diversity and pleiotropic effects of Eucommia secondary metabolites; Eucommia secondary metabolites and anti-aging effects; Eucommia secondary metabolites and blood pressure regulation function; Eucommia secondary metabolites and blood lipid-lowering function; Eucommia secondary metabolites and hypoglycemic effect; Eucommia secondary metabolites and anti-aging effects. Biometabolites and the effect of moisturizing the intestines and laxative; secondary metabolites of Eucommia and the effect of weight loss and beautification; secondary metabolites of Eucommia and the function of enhancing immunity; secondary metabolites of Eucommia and the anti-fatigue effect; secondary metabolites of Eucommia and the function of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang; secondary metabolites of Eucommia and the effect of protecting the liver and sobering up, as well as the site difference and combined synergistic effect of the secondary metabolites of Eucommia. This book can provide a reference for scientific workers engaged in Eucommia research and for people who are interested in understanding the health care effects of Eucommia.
