The effects of some selected flavonoids on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF)-induced cytotoxicity in murine fibroblast L-929 cells were studied. All of the flavanones tested as well as a flavan, epicatechin, protected L-929 cells from TNF-induced cell death of the flavanones tested, hesperetin,
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the hepatoprotective mechanisms of
taxifolin in mice with acute liver injury induced by CCl
4.
METHODS
ICR (Institute of Cancer research) mice were orally pretreated using
taxifolin for 7 consecutive days and were then
Purpose: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of blindness. In DR patients, antioxidant defence is disrupted, and production of reactive oxygen species and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) increases. Taxifolin
Antigen-presenting dendritic cells may play an important role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis. Taxifolin is demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory effects. The present study was designed to assess the effect of taxifolin glycoside against stimulated responses of dendritic cells isolated
We previously reported that oral administration of luteolin can inhibit serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production and several inflammatory and allergic models. We investigated here the effect of various flavonoids which resemble luteolin in structure. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced
Purpose: Oxidative stress and inflammation have been demonstrated in the pathogenesis of methanol toxicity. Taxifolin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we examined the protective effect of taxifolin against methanol-induced optic nerve toxicity. Materials and
Osteoporosis is a highly prevalent disease which has been a major public health problem and considered to be associated with chronic low-grade systemic inflammation and oxidative damage. Taxifolin is a natural flavonoid and possesses many pharmacological activities including antioxidant and
Although physiological levels of iron are essential for numerous biological processes, excess iron causes critical tissue injury. Under iron overload conditions, non-chelated iron generates reactive oxygen species that mediate iron-induced tissue injury with subsequent induction of apoptosis,
To study the effect of fructus polygoni orentalis extract (EFPO) on liver regeneration and proliferation of bone marrow cells on rat model of partial hepatectomy, EFPO was extracted, and 60 adult male Wistar rats were divided randomly into 6 experimental groups. Rats were treated with intergastric
Polygonum orientale L. (Polygonaceae) fruits have various medicinal uses, but their hepatoprotective effects have not yet been studied. This study investigated the hepatoprotective activity of the ethanolic extract of P. orientale (POE) fruits against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute liver
The study addressed aspects of energetics of isolated rat liver mitochondria exposed to the flavonoids quercetin, taxifolin, catechin and galangin, taking into account influences of the 2,3 double bond/3-OH group and 4-oxo function on the C-ring, and o-di-OH on the B-ring of their structures, as
The anti-inflammatory compound, alphitonin-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), has previously been isolated in the leaves of Artokapus tonkinensis and synthesised from taxifolin. This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of this compound on inflammatory cytokines, including tumour necrosis
The in vitro and in vivo antioxidant activities of six flavonoids with similar structures, including epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), procyanidin B2 (P), quercetin (Q), taxifolin (T), and rutin (R) were compared. The structures of the six flavonoids and their scavenging activities for
The Malus pumila leaves are used as a kind of tea drink in China, and there are abundant flavonoids in the leaves of Malus pumila. In this study, BALB/c mice received senna extract solution via gavage, which induced acute diarrhea, and the interventive effect of Malus pumila
Flavonoids may play an important role for adjunct nutritional therapy of chronic intestinal inflammation. In this study, we characterized the molecular mechanisms by which quercetin and its enteric bacterial metabolites, taxifolin, alphitonin, and 3, 4-dihydroxy-phenylacetic acid, inhibit tumor
