Fagopyrum Dibotrys Rhizoma regulates pulmonary lipid metabolic homeostasis and the ERK-cPLA2 pathway to alleviate asthma in mice

Asthma is a complex disease with mechanisms involving multiple factors, and there is still a lack of highly effective and low-side-effect drugs. Traditional Chinese medicine Fagopyrum Dibotrys Rhizoma (FDR) has been applied for the treatment of acute and chronic bronchitis as well as bronchial asthma due to its favorable pharmacological activity. However, the exact mechanism of FDR remains unclear.
