Leaf methanol extract of C. orbiculata L. was investigated for antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities using acetic acid writhing and hot-plate tests and carrageenan-induced oedema test in mice and rats, respectively. C. orbiculata (100-400 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly inhibited acetic
Inflammation is a complex mechanism employed by the body to promote healing and restoration to normal function in the event of injury. Eleven plant species were selected in this study based on their use in traditional medicine against inflammation in South Multiple mechanisms have been proposed for the neuroprotective effects of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). We aimed to examine the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and MgSO4 on the placental expression of nuclear factor κ light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), interleukin (IL) 6,
Total saponin content, total phenolics content, total flavonoids content, condensed tannin content in hull, cotyledon and whole grain of both adzuki bean and mung bean were determined by colorimetric methods. Vitexin and isovitexin contents in mung bean were determined by HPLC. Antioxidant effects
OBJECTIVE
Stress stimuli and inflammation influence the secretion of the placental corticotropin-releasing factor CRF (CRF) that has a significant role in controlling the timing of birth. The CRF-binding protein (CRF-BP) binds CRF with high affinity and inhibits its activity. Magnesium sulfate
The Prosopis alba seed is a waste material in the process to produce pod flour. To suggest a potential use of these seeds it is necessary to determine the nutritional, phytochemical and functional quality of cotyledon flour from Prosopis alba. This flour showed high level of proteins (62%), low
Recent identification of a second, inducible form of prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS-2) led to the hypothesis that constitutively expressed PGHS (PGHS-1) is involved in the homeostatic role of eicosanoids, whereas the inducible enzyme is responsible for their inflammatory actions. We report here the
OBJECTIVE
Our purpose was to determine whether exposure of the isolated, perfused human placental cotyledon to different fetal circuit perfusion rates, and to concomitant pressure differences, alters placental production of interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha.
METHODS
The maternal and
