Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia is a troublesome disease. Angelica polysaccharide (AP) is proved to have antioxidant effects. Our study was performed to confirm the effects of AP in hypoxia-exposed neural stem cells (NSCs). NSCs were pre-treated with AP and then stimulated with hypoxia. Viability of NSCs
BACKGROUND
The cardioprotective role of Angelica sinensis has been proven in previous studies. However, the effects of Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP, major bioactive component of Angelica sinensis) on myocardial infarction (MI) remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of
We recently demonstrated that two chalcones isolated from Angelica keiskei roots have anti-tumor and anti-metastatic activities through the inhibition of tumor-induced angiogenesis, but the anti-tumor substances of Angelica japonica roots are unknown. We attempted to clarify the anti-tumor action
BACKGROUND
Angelica dahurica is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine to treat migraine headache, toothache and cancer. Imperatorin is an active natural furocoumarin component originating from Angelica dahurica and has been shown to exhibit multiple bioeffector functions, including
Background: Hypoxia and HIF-1α are important regulators of tumour growth and angiogenesis and could be attractive targets for cancer therapeutics. Decursin is an active compound extracted from the roots of Angelica gigas and has been
Chronic renal ischemia and hypoxia in the tubulointerstitium are involved in the mechanisms of progressive chronic kidney disease. Previous studies showed that the decoction of a combination of two Chinese herbs, Astragalus membmnaceus var. mongholicus and Angelica sinensis (A & A) has antifibrotic
This study evaluated the effects of Angelica sinensis extract [Dang Gui (DG)] administered before 60[Formula: see text]min of middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by 3[Formula: see text]d of reperfusion and investigated the involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase
The hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) plays a critical role in tumor angiogenesis. It has been reported that the acetone extract of Angelica sinensis (AE-AS) rich in phthalides is able to inhibit cancer cell proliferation. However, whether AE-AS reduces cancer angiogenesis remains unknown. In
