BACKGROUND
Uncaria sinensis (US) has been used in traditional Korean medicine to treat vascular disease and to relieve various neurological symptoms.
OBJECTIVE
Scientific evidence related to the effectiveness or action mechanism of US on cerebrovascular disease has not been examined experimentally.
Lycopene, a carotenoid rich in tomato fruit (ripe), is an effective antioxidant and free radical scavenger. In this study n-hexane extract of tomato was evaluated for its protective action against oxidative stress in experimental myocardial infarction induced by administration of adrenaline in rats.
Polygonum multiflorum is a traditional Korean medicine that has been utilized widely in East Asian countries as a longevity agent. Clinical studies have demonstrated that Polygonum multiflorum improves hypercholesterolemia, coronary heart disease, neurosis and other diseases commonly associated with
Hypertension is persistent elevation in blood pressure for 3-4 weeks. Estimated global prevalence of hypertension suggested that by the Year 2025 (29%) of adult worldwide are suffering from hypertension (1.56 billion). Hypertension complications are hemorrhage, atherosclerosis, renal artery
Staining with triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC), although controversial, has frequently been used for the delineation of myocardial infarction. This study was performed further to explore the reliability of the TTC method. In 24-h experiments pigs were subjected to closed-chest occlusion of the
Recent reports have suggested a role for group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in the attenuation of excitotoxicity. Here we examined the effects of the recently available group II agonist (+)-2-Aminobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2-6-dicarboxylic acid (LY354740) on N-methyl-D-aspartate
Evidence is increasing that therapeutic modulation of neurohormonal activation with vasopressin receptor antagonists via V(1A) and V(2) receptors may favourably affect prognosis of heart failure. This study was designed to compare in vivo hemodynamic effects of early treatment (1-21 days after
Levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and potentially toxic metals (PTMs) were determined in the commonly consumed beef sausage roll products (coded BS1 - BS6) in Nigeria. This was done in order to assess the safety of regular consumption of these products with respect to the substances
Vascular diseases like thrombosis, myocardial infarction, cerebral ischemia or chronic venous insufficiency affect a high proportion of the population. They are all associated with more or less pronounced ischemic conditions. We have previously shown that some venotropic drugs display an
Background The fractions of Corchorus olitorius leaf (COLF) were evaluated against oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial injury (MI) Wistar rats. Methods The n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethylacetate and ethanol fractions were obtained from COLF
OBJECTIVE
Unstable angina pectoris often leads to acute myocardial infarction. Since lipid peroxidation is thought to be causally related to chronic and acute events in atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease, we measured lipid peroxidation products and vitamin E in 100 patients with coronary
Complement-mediated inflammation exacerbates the tissue injury of ischaemic necrosis in heart attacks and strokes, the most common causes of death in developed countries. Large infarct size increases immediate morbidity and mortality and, in survivors of the acute event, larger non-functional scars
Uncaria sinensis (US) has long been used as a traditional Korean medicine to treat cardiovascular and central nervous system diseases, including hypertension and cerebral ischemia. Several recent studies have indicated that US has neuroprotective and cerebrovascular protective effects in ischemic
The flower buds of Buddleja officinalis MAXIM (Loganiaceae) are used to treat headache and inflammatory diseases in traditional Korean medicine. In the present study, the neuroprotective effects of the methanolic extract of B. officinalis (BOME) and of its hexane fraction (BOHF) were investigated in
C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations rise in response to tissue injury or infection. Circulating pentameric CRP (pCRP) localizes to damaged tissue where it leads to complement activation and further tissue damage. In-depth knowledge of the pCRP activation mechanism is essential to develop
