DETAILS

Description (English)
Research Area: Cardiovascular Disease
Biological Activity:
Formononetin(Formononetol) is a phytoestrogen from the root of Astragalus membranaceus and an O-methylated isoflavone. [1] It is found in a number of plants and herbs like the red clover. It is used as a blood enhancer and to improve blood microcirculation in complementary and alternative medicine. It promotes endothelial repair and wound healing in a process involving the over-expression of Egr-1 transcription factor through the regulation of the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK pathways. [2]
