Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Gastrodin injection (unspecified dosage) is beneficial to old patients with refractory hypertension. Gastrodin (50 - 100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) can decrease the volume of cerebral infarction, ameliorate the cerebral injury in the rats of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.
Route of Administration: Parenteral
In Vitro Use Guide
Gastrodin could effectively promote proliferation of rat RSC96 Schwann cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The best performance was obtained at the concentration of 200μM.
