BACKGROUND
Regulation of a persistently-activated inflammatory response in macrophages is an important target for treatment of various chronic diseases. Pine needle extracts are well known to have potent immunomodulatory effects. The current study was designed to evaluate the effects of Pinus
Chamaecyparis obtusa (C. obtusa) and Pinus densiflora (P. densiflora) have been traditionally used as antibiotic, antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory agents in Asian folk medicine. Recent studies have demonstrated antioxidant, antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory effects of C. obtusa and P.
Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory disease in which lung airways narrow and produce extra mucus. Numerous medications, such as steroids, are used to prevent or control asthmatic symptoms, but side effects are associated with those medications. There are reports of anti-inflammatory,
Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is a critical transcription factor for maximal expression of many of the cytokines that are involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. In this study, we found that pinosylvin, a natural stilbenoid that is a component of the pine leaf (Pinus densiflora),
Excess accumulation of lipids and oxidative stress in the liver contribute to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We hypothesized that Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. (PSZ) can protect against NAFLD by regulating lipid accumulation and oxidative stress in the liver. To investigate the effect
The needles of Pinus densiflora Siebold et Zuccarini, a representative Pinus species that grows in Korea, have been used in oriental traditional medicine as remedies for rheumatitis, hemorrhage, cancer, etc. Phytochemical examination of the needles of Pinus densiflora Siebold et Zuccarini led to the
Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) bark extract, PineXol (PX), was investigated for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammation effects in vitro. It was hypothesized that PX treatment (25-150 μg/ml) would reduce the lipid synthesis in HepG2 hepatocytes as well as lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1
Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) bark has been traditionally used in Korea and other parts of East Asia to relieve inflammatory diseases. Although many studies using P. densiflora bark have been reported, its effect on atopic dermatitis (AD) has not been elucidated. Thus, we investigated whether
Pine needle extract (PE) and fermented pine needle extract (FPE) have been reported to show various biological and pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-cholesterol, gastrointestinal motility control, and fibrinolytic effect. The aims of our research
Aging is characterized by the accumulation of chronic and irreversible oxidative damage, chronic inflammation, and organ dysfunction. To attenuate these aging-related changes, various natural phytochemicals are often applied. Trans-communic acid (TCA), an active component of brown pine leaf extract,
Edible plants have been widely used in traditional therapeutics because of the biological activities of their natural ingredients, including anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Plant sap contains such medicinal substances and their secondary metabolites provide unique chemical
BACKGROUND
The Pinus densiflora leaf has been traditionally used to treat mental health disorders as a traditional Chinese medicine. Here we examined the ethnopharmacological relevance of pine needle on memory impairment caused by stress.
OBJECTIVE
To elucidate the possible modulatory actions of 30%
