The study found that the blood levels of the adhesion molecules surface proteins E-selectin and ICAM-1 (risk factors for aggravation of cardiovascular disease) were decreased by the Dantonic pill, a Chinese medicine containing borneolum syntheticum and an herbal mixture of S. miltiorrhiza and P. notoginseng. In fact, the treatment led to a statistically significant reduction in ICAM-1 (by 9%; p = 0.03) and E-selectin (by 15%; p = 0.004) levels. Here, ICAM1 is linked to cardiovascular disorder.
