Post-treatment with Ma-Huang-Tang ameliorates cold-warm-cycles induced rat lung injury

Abstract Frequent and drastic ambient temperature variation may cause respiratory diseases such as common cold and pneumonia, the mechanism for which is not fully understood, however, due to lack of appropriate animal models. Ma-Huang-Tang (MHT) is widely used in China for treatment of respiratory d...
