Human serum hemopexin: direct evidence for change of its isoelectric point upon heme binding. A new serum protein fractionation.

abstract：:Accumulating evidences suggest that Herba epimedii has the potential benefits against osteoporosis. However, previous studies were focused on the crude extract, total flavonoids (TF) and icariin (ICA), and the detailed molecular mechanisms of action and structure-activity relationship (SAR) remain unclear. Herein we a...
