Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) extract, containing eriodictyol-6-C-β-d-glucoside as the active component, stimulates exocrine glands via the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor
We previously discovered that rooibos extract activates the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R), a key component of exocrine secretion. In this study, we examined the rooibos extract for active components in vitro and monitored its fast-acting effects against dryness in humans. Our in vitro a...
