isovitexin/inflammation

In this study, we investigated the renoprotective effects and mechanism of isovitexin, a glycosylflavonoid isolated from rice hulls of Oryza sativa, against cisplatin-induced kidney injury in mice. The mice were treated with cisplatin for four consecutive days and at the second day, the mice were

Oxidative damage and inflammation are closely associated with the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI). Thus, we explored the protective effect of isovitexin (IV), a glycosylflavonoid, in the context of ALI. To accomplish this, we created in vitro and in vivo models by respectively exposing

The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects and mechanism of isovitexin, a glycosylflavonoid isolated from rice hulls of Oryza sativa, on Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/d-galactosamine (D-Gal)-induced acute liver injury. The mice were randomly divided into five groups: control group,

UNASSIGNED Anthocleista nobilis (Loganiaceae) is used by Mbano people of Imo State, Nigeria, for the treatment of various ailments. UNASSIGNED The aim of this study is to evaluate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties of the methanol extract, fractions, and subfractions of A.

Owing to their high content of flavonoids and saponins, plantlets of Avena sativa L. (Poaceae) are likely to possess anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties of value in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). With a view to its potential use in atopic subjects at risk of developing

Lythrum salicaria (purple loosestrife) known as "Tibbi hevhulma" in Turkish is used for its several beneficial health effects against as diarrhea, chronic intestinal catarrh, hemorrhoid and eczema in the form of a decoction or a fluid extract and to treat varicose veins, bleeding of the gums,

OBJECTIVE Studies suggest that Gentiana lutea (GL), and its component isovitexin, may exhibit anti-atherosclerotic properties. In this study we sought to investigate the protective mechanism of GL aqueous root extract and isovitexin on endothelial inflammation, smooth muscle cell migation, and on

Excessive exposure to UVB radiation can lead to oxidative and inflammatory damage that compromises the cutaneous integrity. The application on the skin of photochemoprotective products is considered a relevant approach for the prevention of oxidative damage. In this study the in vitro and in vivo

Objectives: Vitex grandifolia belongs to family Lamiaceae; it consists of flowering plants and it is also called the mint family. The Yoruba people of southwest Nigeria called it "Oriri" or "Efo oriri". This plant is classified as an underutilized vegetable

Buckwheat sprouts have been widely consumed all around world due to their great abundance of bioactive compounds. In this study, the anti-inflammatory effects of flavonoid-rich common buckwheat sprout (CBS) and tartary buckwheat sprout (TBS) extracts were evaluated in lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-)

Leaves and branches of Machaerium hirtum Vell. (Fabaceae), native to South America, were subjected to phytopharmacological investigation in order to identify its major chemical constituents and evaluate its extracts, fractions and isolated compounds in assays for anti-inflammatory activities. These

BACKGROUND Centaurea L. (Astreaceae) species are used as herbal remedies in Turkey. Centaurea calolepis Boiss. is an endemic species of Anatolia that has not been subjected to phytochemical studies except essential oil analysis. OBJECTIVE Secondary metabolite determination, isolation and structure

BACKGROUND Gaillardia grandiflora Hort. ex Van Houte and Gaillardia pulchella Foug are flowering plants widely cultivated in Egypt for their ornamental value.
