Four steviol (ent-kaurene-type diterpenoid) glycosides, stevioside, rebaudiosides A and C, and dulcoside A, have been isolated from Stevia rebaudiana BERTONI. These compounds showed strong inhibitory activity against 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation in mice. The 50%

Modifying effects of dietary exposure of seven naturally occurring products on the development of colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) induced by azoxymethane (AOM) were investigated in male F344 rats. The effects of these compounds on proliferation biomarkers such as the number of silver-stained
Stevioside, an abundant component of Stevia rebaudiana leaf, has become well-known for its intense sweetness (250-300 times sweeter than sucrose) and is used as a non-caloric sweetener in several countries. A number of studies have suggested that, beside sweetness, stevioside along with related
