Dry eye syndrome is a common disease associated to eyes inflammation, irritation and tear film instability. The enzymatic complex of xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is involved in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and uric acid that, in the end, can cause reperfusion injuries, irritation
Intravenous injection of arabinogalactan or dextran together with pontamine sky-blue dye into mice increased vascular permeability and led to marked blueing of the ears. Arabinogalactan caused a rapidly progressing ear blueing (maximal coloration 20-30 min after injection). This response was
BACKGROUND
Extract from cowshed dust (CDE) is a source of immunomodulating substances. We have previously shown that such substances protect from experimental allergic disorders in a mouse model of asthma.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to identify immunomodulatory molecules in extracts
To evaluate the ability of oral supplements with immune-stimulating molecules (Sambucus nigra, Zinc, Tyndallized Lactobacillus acidophilus (HA122), Arabinogalactans, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin C) to reduce the inflammation of the upper airway tract and improve the outcome of The synthesis of polysaccharide-based sponges for the use in tissue engineering was systematically investigated. A comparison study of the branched polysaccharide arabinogalactan (AG) and the linear polysaccharide dextran in the formation of sponges by the reaction with diamines or polyamines was
Gum arabic and cashew nut tree gum exudate polysaccharide (CNTG) are plant polysaccharides composed of galactose and arabinose known as arabinogalactans (AGs). Although these fractions are used in food and pharmaceutical industry, cases of allergic reactions were described in clinical reports. As
A low molecular mass arabinogalactan-protein (AGP) composed of galactose and arabinose with a low protein content, isolated from the instant coffee powder of Coffea arabica beans, has been tested on antitussive (in vivo) and immunomodulating (ex vivo) activities. The results of antitussive tests
The leaves of the tree Opilia celtidifolia have a long tradition for being used in Mali and other West African countries against various ailments such as for wound healing. Previous studies on polysaccharides from these leaves showed the presence of pectic-like polymers with an effect on the human
BACKGROUND
Arabinogalactan from Larch tree (Larix spp.) bark has previously demonstrated immunostimulatory activity. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that ingestion of a proprietary arabinogalactan extract, ResistAid™, would selectively enhance the antibody response to the
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the possibilities that: (i) organ toxicity of amphotericin B-deoxycholate (AMB-DOC) is related to induction of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and apoptosis in target organs; and (ii) the reduced toxicity resulting from the conjugation
The structural characterization of the polysaccharides and in vitro anti-inflammatory properties of Cabernet Franc (WCF), Cabernet Sauvignon (WCS) and Sauvignon Blanc (WSB) wines were studied for the first time in this work. The polysaccharides of wines gave rise to three fractions of
BACKGROUND
The main undesirable side effect of the aspirin is the damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa, leading to the formation of erosions, peptic ulcers, and as a result, bleeding. To overcome this problem "host-guest" complexation with natural polysaccharide arabinogalactan could be
Handroanthus albus, commonly known as yellow ipê, is a native and widely distributed tree in Brazil. An aqueous soluble polysaccharide fraction (HASP) was obtained from its leaves, and monosaccharide composition, glycosidic linkage analysis by methylation and NMR spectroscopy indicated that HASP is
OBJECTIVE
In the present work, pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties of the supramolecular complex of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (IBU) with natural polysaccharide arabinogalactan (AG) were studied. The main goals of such complexation were the increase of ibuprofen's
The common cold is a viral infection with important economic burdens in Western countries. The research and development of nutritional solutions to reduce the incidence and severity of colds today is a major focus of interest, and larch arabinogalactan seems to be a promising supportive agent.
