<i>Rhaponticum uniflorum</i> and <i>Serratula centauroides</i> Extracts Attenuate Emotional Injury in Acute and Chronic Emotional Stress

In modern life, the use of plant stress-protectors has taken on particular significance due to the wide distribution of neurosis-like and neurotic diseases caused by neuroendocrine-immune system imbalance. Special attention has been paid to the plants containing ecdysteroids, i.e., hormone-like bioa...
