Gene context of Ephedra

  • We report here on 6 cases of dilated cardiomyopathy associated with ephedra use [20].
  • Pharmacognostical studies of Ephedra plants Part I - The comparative histological studies on Ephedra rhizomes from Pakistan and Afghanistan and Chinese crude drugs "Ma-Hung-Gen" [21].
  • Analysis with an objective causality assessment scale revealed a probable adverse drug reaction between the patient's use of anabolic steroids, ephedra, and gamma-hydroxybutyrate and the development of his cardiomyopathy and acute liver injury [3].
  • 5.8 S rRNA from the gymnosperm Ephedra kokanica Regl [22].
