anemarrhena asphodeloides/edema

Anemarrhena asphodeloides is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, and is known to possess antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory properties. Because inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) plays an important role in inflammation, we investigated the inhibitory effects of two known phenolic

The preventive effect of Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge (Liliaceae), a traditional Chinese medicine, on ischemia-reperfusion-induced brain injury was evaluated in the rat brain. Ischemia was induced by intraluminal occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery for 2 h and reperfusion was continued

To assess the anti-inflammatory activity of constituents from the rhizomes of Anemarrhena asphodeloides, (-)-nyasol {cis-hinokiresinol, 4,4-[1Z,3R]-3-ethenyl-1-propene-1,3-diyl]bisphenol} was isolated and its anti-inflammatory activity was examined in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 cells

We investigated the effect of DWac on the gut microbiota composition in mice with 2,3,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid- (TNBS-) induced colitis. Treatment with DWac restored TNBS-disturbed gut microbiota composition and attenuated TNBS-induced colitis. Moreover, we examined the effect of DWac in mice

BACKGROUND Lonicera japonica Thunb and Anemarrhena asphodeloides BUNGE have been used for the treatment of a variety of inflammatory diseases, cold and infective diseases in many countries, including Korea and China. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory

OBJECTIVE Phototoxicity can be either harmful or beneficial. Yet the phototoxicity of oriental medicinal plants is an understudied area. The purpose of this study is to fill in this gap. METHODS The phototoxic potential of oriental medicinal plants was examined in vitro using photohemolysis and the
