paeoniflorin/atrophy

The accumulation of abnormal proteins is a common characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. This accumulation reflects a severe disturbance of cellular homeostasis in pathogenic protein clearance. Here, we demonstrated that the activation of the two major proteolytic machineries, the molecular

Apoptosis plays a key role in the pathogenesis of internal disc disruption (IDD); therefore, the inhibition of apoptosis may offer a novel approach for treating IDD diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects and the underlying mechanisms of paeoniflorin through the

In the present study, we demonstrate that the degeneration of intervertebral discs is caused by ageing and apoptosis of matrix cells. Apoptosis is as essential as the function of proteoglycan synthesis in assessing the possible degeneration of intervertebral discs; paeoniflorin (PF) induces

Paeonia lactiflora root (baishao in Chinese) is a commonly used herb in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Paeoniflorin (PF) and albiflorin (AF) are two major active constituents of P. lactiflora. In this paper, we aimed to investigate the hematopoietic effects of PF and AF on myelosuppression mice

Preclinical and clinical investigation has shown that hippocampal neuronal atrophy and destruction can be observed in patients with depression, and this can be ameliorated with antidepressant medication. Neuroprotection has therefore been proposed as one of the mechanisms of action of

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to determine whether paeoniflorin (PF) could prevent H₂O₂-induced oxidative stress in ARPE-19 cells and to elucidate the molecular pathways involved in this protection. METHODS Cultured ARPE-19 cells were subjected to oxidative stress with H₂O₂ in the presence and

Paeoniflorin (PF) is the main active component extracted from the roots of Paeonialactiflora, a traditional Chinese medicine used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, especially Parkinson's disease (PD). The degeneration of dopaminergic (DA-) neurons in PD may be caused by pathological

Abnormal accumulation of the free-form all-trans-retinal (atRAL), a major intermediate of human visual cycle, is considered to be a key cause of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) dysfunction in the pathogenesis of retinal degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

UNASSIGNED Paeoniflorin (PF) is the active component of Paeonia lactiflora Pall. or Paeonia veitchii Lynch. This study was, therefore, aimed to evaluate the improvement and mechanism of the PF on ventricular remodeling in rats with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). UNASSIGNED In this study, AMI

OBJECTIVE Paeoniflorin (PF) has ameliorative effects on learning and memory impairment and cerebral ischaemia in rats and has protective effects against the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra. The neuroprotective effects of PF are most probably derived from its

Paeonia lactiflora root (baishao in Chinese) is a commonly used herb in traditional Chinese medicines (TCM). Two isomers, paeoniflorin (PF) and albiflorin (AF), are isolated from P. lactiflora. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of PF and AF on myelosuppression induced by

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, characterised by advanced cognitive and memory deterioration with no effective treatments available. Previous in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that paeoniflorin (PF), a major bioactive constituent of Radix Paeoniae, might possess

Preclinical and clinical investigations have shown hippocampal neuronal atrophy and destruction were observed in patients with depression, which could be ameliorated by the treatment with antidepressants. Therefore, neuroprotection has been proposed to be one of the acting mechanisms of

Oxidative stress and subsequent chronic inflammation result in dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and represent therapeutic targets in the context of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, molecular mechanisms that linked oxidative stress and inflammation still unclear. As
