BSHX enhanced the heat stress resistance of germ cells, which is mediated by the PMK-1 and JNK mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathways in germ cells. BSHX upregulated the transcriptional level and fluorescent protein level of the innate peptide T24B8.5\n                      <jats:italic>via<\/jats:italic>\n                      the PMK-1 MAPK pathway.

In addition, a combination of metabolites (salvianolic acid B, quercetin, and asperosaponin VI), derived from the BSHX decoction, significantly enhanced the fertility of BPA-exposed nematodes through a mechanism highly similar to that of the BSHX decoction.
