humulus japonicus/atrophy

OBJECTIVE To establish a stable and reliable method for fast cloning homologous genes of pollen allergens in allergen-containing plants. METHODS Degenerate primers were designed based on the bioinformatic analysis of numerous allergens available from the database. Subsequent amplification of the

To investigate whether treatment with xanthohumol (XN), the principal prenylated chalconoid from Humulus lupulus (hops), is protective in a mouse model of light-induced retinal degeneration (LIRD). Mice (129S2/SvPasCrl) were intraperitoneally injected with vehicle or XN prior to toxic light exposure

Flavonoids have attracted considerable attention in relation to their effects upon health. 8-Prenylnaringenin (8-PN) is found in the common hop (Humulus lupulus) and assumed to be responsible for the health impact of beer consumption. We wanted to clarify the effects of prenylation on the

Menopause is often associated with vaginal atrophy and related symptoms, such as vaginal dryness, burning, itching, and dyspareunia, decrease in libido and in general a decrease in the quality of life. The common treatment up to the 1990's has been the oral hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but

Humulus japonicus (HJ), popularly known as Japanese hops, is a traditional herbal medicine widely used for the treatment of pulmonary disease, skin disease, and hypertension in Korea. HJ exerts scavenging effects against reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide radical, hydroxyl radical,

OBJECTIVE To clone the pollen allergen genes in Humulus scandens (Lour) Merr (LvCao in Chinese) and short ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L) for recombinant allergen production and immunotherapy. METHODS The allergen genes were selectively amplified in the weed pollen cDNA pool by using a special

Humulus japonicus Siebold & Zucc. (HJ) has traditionally been administered to patients with pulmonary disease, skin disease and hypertension in Korea, and it is considered to exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial and antimycobacterial effects. However, its effects against Alzheimer's

In skin aging there is deterioration of the extracellular matrix's collagen and elastin fibers, from its reduced biosynthesis and increased degradation by elastase and matrixmetalloproteinases (MMPs). Xanthohumol is a flavonoid isolated from the hop plant Humulus lupulus L., with anti-microbial,
