“3-” represents Fraction C; “4-” represents Fraction D; ** p < 0.01 significantly different from MJ RA of natural RA; ▲▲ p < 0.01 significantly different from cultured RA; “MJ” represents the dried root of A. membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge; “MG” represents the dried root of A. membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge var. mongholicus (Bunge) Hsiao.
