Tissue bath and cell culture studies on herbs found in the Po Chai pills

• To investigate the cholesterol lowering effects of monascus purpureus (red yeast rice) on rats/ cell culture
• To investigate other anti-spasmodic (apart from anti-cholinergic) effects of herbs found in Po Chai e.g. anti-histamine effects using tissue bath
