epicatechin/inflammation

This work investigated the capacity of (-)-epicatechin to prevent the renal damage induced by LPS administration in rats. Male Sprague Dawley rats were fed for 4 days a diet without or with supplementation with (-)-epicatechin (80mg/kg BW/d), and subsequently i.p. injected with lipopolysaccharide

Epicatechin (EC) is the most effective compound in Euonymus alatus (Thunb.)Sieb, and possesses a series of benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiobesity and anticancer effects. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of EC in Acetaminophen(N-acetyl-p-aminophenol,

The aim of this study was to investigate the antinociceptive potential of (-)-epicatechin and the possible mechanisms of action involved in its antinociceptive effect. The carrageenan and formalin tests were used as inflammatory pain models. A plethysmometer was used to measure inflammation and

The scopoletin (coumarin) and epicatechin (flavonoid) rich Morinda citrifolia L. (MC) Noni leaves are non-toxic (unlike the fruits) and consumed as vegetables. The anti-osteoarthritis effects of the MC leaf extract against joint cartilage degradation and inflammation were investigated through

The anti-leukemia mechanisms of Morinda citrifolia L. leaf extract were investigated on human Jurkat leukemia cells and in leukemia-induced BALB/c mice. The leukemia-induced mice were fed daily with the extract (100 or 200 mg/kg BW) and compared to ATRA (All-trans-retinoic-acid; 5 mg/kg BW). After 4

Chronic hyperglycaemia and inflammation are present in diabetes and both processes have been related to the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease. Epicatechin (EC) and main colonic phenolic acids derived from flavonoid intake, such as 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic

A concise synthesis of (-)-epicatechin 3-(3-O-methylgallate) (1; ECG3''Me), which is a minor constituent of tea, and (+)-catechin 3-(3-O-methylgallate) (2; CG3''Me) via condensation of equimolar amount of catechin and gallate derivatives has been achieved. The anti-inflammatory effect of the

Ingestion of (-)-epicatechin flavanols reverses endothelial dysfunction by increasing flow mediated dilation and by reducing vascular inflammation and oxidative stress, monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and transendothelial monocyte migration in vitro and in vivo. This involves multiple changes in

Hit, Lead & Candidate Discovery The acetic acid-induced writhing and hot plate models in mice were utilized to determine the analgesic effect of epicatechin gallate (ECG) isolated from Bauhinia hookeri. The anti-inflammatory activity of ECG was determined using carrageenan-induced paw edema model.

Background. This study was pathway of (-)-epicatechin (EC) in the prevention and treatment of intestine inflammation in acute and chronic rat models. Methods. Intestine inflammation was induced in rats using TNBS. The morphological, inflammatory, immunohistochemical, and immunoblotting

Obesity is major public health concern worldwide and obese individuals exhibit a higher risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Inflammation plays a significant role in metabolic regulation and mounting evidence highlight the contribution of adipose tissue to systemic inflammatory state.

High fructose consumption has been associated to deleterious metabolic conditions. In the kidney, high fructose causes renal alterations that contribute to the development of chronic kidney disease. Evidence suggests that dietary flavonoids have the ability to prevent/attenuate risk factors of

Disruption of the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-Nuclear factor erythroid-derived factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) interaction has emerged as a promising strategy to reduce oxidative stress-induced inflammation. However, its roles in regulating downstream events, including the cross

Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) is a rare liver disease with considerable morbidity and mortality. (-)-Epicatechin (EPI) is a natural flavonol. This study aims to investigate the protection of EPI against monocrotaline (MCT)-induced HSOS and its engaged mechanism. Results of serum
