Immunostimulatory properties of heat-resistant RNA in a decoction of Glycyrrhizae Radix

Research on the bioactive components of herbal medicines have been conducted mainly on the secondary metabolites of herbal plants. Accordingly, limited information is available on primary metabolites (carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, and nucleic acids) and their biological effects. Here, we focus...
