| Description | 1. Coixol (MBOA) acts as a central muscle relaxant with an anti-convulsant effect. 2. Coixol interacts with the pituitary to stimulate reproduction in voles. 3. Coixol has the ability to interact with FSH to stimulate follicular development and increase ovulation. 4. Coixol can regulate gene expression, production and secretion of mucin, by directly acting on airway epithelial cells. |
