carpinus tschonoskii/phenolic

Carpinus tschonoskii (CT) is distributed through in southern regions of South Korea. Six known compounds, including three ellagitannins, one gallotannin, and two flavonoids were isolated from CT. In conclusion, the tannins, especially ellagitannins, and CT extract showed potent anti-oxidative,

Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress triggers severe vascular damage and induces an inflammatory vascular state, and is, therefore, one of the main causes of atherosclerosis. Recently, interest in the natural compound Carpinus turczaninowii has increased because of its reported antioxidant

Vascular inflammation is an important feature in the atherosclerotic process. Recent studies report that leaves and branches of Carpinus turczaninowii (C. turczaninowii) have antioxidant capacity and exert anti-inflammatory effects. However, no

OBJECTIVE Leaf life span, photosynthetic parameters and defensive traits were compared across seven species of deciduous broad-leaved tree seedlings native to northern Japan to test the "cost-benefit hypothesis" that more productive leaves are more susceptible to herbivore attack than less

Microclimate in different positions on a host plant has strong direct effects on herbivores. But little is known about indirect effects due to changes of leaf traits. We hypothesized that herbivory increases from upper canopy to lower canopy and understory due to a combination of direct and indirect
