“…Cytoprotective, antioxidant, and antitoxic effects of various adaptogenic preparations have been shown in many isolated cells as experimental models and (in vitro and ex vivo) in animals 1–4,9,26,27,69,71,474 . Extensive research on E. senticosus reveals its antitoxic, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, antioxidant, immunomodulating, and antiviral activities along with stress‐protective, antifatigue, hypoglycaemic, antidepressant and antiproliferative effects 3,8,46,474–481 . As an example, E. senticosus inhibits the cadmium‐induced apoptosis and mitosis of hepatocytes in mice, and significantly decreased cadmium concentration in their liver and blood 478 .…”
