In terms of intervention, diterpenoid, monoterpenoid, sesquiterpenoid, and triterpenoid were used in seven studies (Shi et al, 2007;Yang et al, 2011;Yang et al, 2014;Wei and Wang, 2017;Li et al, 2018a;Li et al, 2018b;Luo et al, 2019), three studies (Yuan et al, 2014;Ren et al, 2019;Li et al, 2021), two studies (Ali et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021), and four studies (Chen et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2020;Dikmen et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021), respectively. In addition, 13 studies used male rats (Shi et al, 2007;Yang et al, 2011;Chen et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2014;Yuan et al, 2014;Wei and Wang, 2017;Li et al, 2018a;Luo et al, 2019;Ren et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2020;Dikmen et al, 2021;Li et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021), whereas three studies did not report gender (Li et al, 2018b;Ali et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021). Sprague Dawley rats were used in 11 studies (Shi et al, 2007;Yang et al, 2014;Wei and Wang, 2017;Li et al, 2018a;Li et al, 2018b;Luo et al, 2019;Ren et al, 2019;…”
