Previous results demonstrated that the methanolic extract of adlay seed exerted an antiproliferative effect on human lung cancer cells in vitro and in vivo and might prevent tobacco carcinogen-induced lung tumorigenesis. In this study, the methanolic extract of adlay seed was tested for its

This study examined the effects of different extracts of adlay seed on the growth of human lung cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The data showed that a methanolic extract, but not a water extract, of adlay seed exerted an antiproliferative effect on A549 lung cancer cells by inducing cell cycle

A protein inhibitor of locust gut alpha-amylase was purified from seeds of Job's Tears (Coix lachryma-jobi) using ammonium sulphate precipitation, affinity chromatography on Red Sepharose and reversed-phase HPLC. It consisted of two major isomers, each a dimer of two closely similar or identical

In this study, total concentrations and chemical speciations of heavy metals (As, Cr, Pb, Zn, Cd, Hg, Cu and Ni) in 64 agricultural soil samples were determined to evaluate the level of contamination from a coal mining area in Xingren County, Guizhou Province. The single factor index, the Hkanson
