The pharmacological effects of an aqueous extract of the whole plants of in vitro cultured Anoectochilus formosanus were investigated experimentally for hepatoprotective and antihyperliposis activities. The extract showed significant antihepatotoxic activity against carbon tetrachloride induced
The extract of Anoectochilus formosanus showed significant activity in decreasing the levels of the cytosolic enzymes LDH, GOT, and GPT, and the result demonstrated that A. formosanus possessed prominent hepatoprotective activity against CCl(4)-induced hepatotoxicity. Moreover, in the results of the
A clinical study was performed on the effect of in vitro cultured Anoectochilus formosanus HAYATA on lipid-metabolism. Sixty-six volunteers, including 36 healthy, 14 high-triglyceride-, 11 high-cholesterol- and 5 high-triglyceride- and high cholesterol- subjects, were administrated with A.
1. In the present study, we investigated aqueous extracts of Anoectochilus formosanus (AFE) for antihyperglycaemic and anti-oxidant effects in diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin (STZ). 2. Diabetic rats were randomly divided into groups and treated orally by gavage with vehicle (distilled water)
This study investigated the isolation and characterization of Anoectochilus roxburghii polysaccharides (ARP), and further evaluated whether ARP possessed hepatoprotective activities against CCl4-induced oxidative liver damage in mice. ARP is comprised of glucose and galactose in a 1.9:1 molar ratio,
BACKGROUND
Anoectochilus roxburghii is a traditional Chinese herb used for treatment of diabetes and some other diseases. Anoectochilus roxburghii polysaccharose (ARP) is the main constituent of Anoectochilus roxburghii. The present study aimed to investigate the antidiabetic effects of ARP in
The hypoglycemic and antioxidant effects of the water extract from Anoectochilus roxburghii in alloxan-induced diabetic mice were examined. Compared with untreated diabetic mice, the daily oral administration of the water extract from A. roxburghii at 0.5 or 2 g/kg for 14 days caused a significant
Six polysaccharides were extracted from different parts (whole plants, roots and leaves) of Anoectochilus roxburghii and Anoectochilus formosanus (ARPs, ARPs-1, ARPs-2, AFPs, AFPs-1 and AFPs-2). Their primary characteristics were identified and their antidiabetic activities were evaluated in
A higher concentration of kinsenoside, 3-(R)-3-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxybutanolide (1), was detected in the crude drug Anoectochilusformosanus, and A. koshunensis by HPLC analysis. A methylation reaction occurred to give methyl ester (4) when the lactone ring of 1 was cleaved by silica gel catalysis
We previously showed that 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(3R)-hydroxybutanolide (kinsenoside), a major compound of Anoectochilus formosanus, increased lipolysis through an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-dependent pathway.To extend our previous finding, we BACKGROUND
Currently, more than one-third of the global population is overweight or obese, which is a risk factor for major causes of death including cardiovascular disease, numerous cancers, and diabetes. Kinsenoside, a major active component of Anoectochilus formosanus exhibits antihyperglycemic,
