1. Local anesthetic effect: Jiulixiang injection can be used for local infiltration anesthesia in major, medium, and minor surgical procedures. Xiaoye Jiulixiang can also be used for topical anesthesia. 2. Hypoglycemic effect: Feeding rats leaves of Jiulixiang and mustard can cause hypoglycemia. This is attributed to a marked increase in glycogen synthase activity, promotion of glycogen synthesis, and reductions in glycogen phosphorylase and gluconeogenic enzyme activity, thereby decreasing glycogen breakdown and gluconeogenesis and increasing hepatic glycogen content.
