The present study investigated the effect of 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) on liver injury and hepatic glucose metabolism in db/db mice. Mice were divided into five groups: normal control, db/db control, DNJ-20 (DNJ 20 mg·kg(-1)·day(-1)), DNJ-40 (DNJ 40 mg·kg(-1)·day(-1)) and DNJ-80 (DNJ 80
β-amyloid deposition and neuroinflammation play a crucial part in Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, this study was designed to find the effects of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) purified from mulberry leaves on pathological deposition of Aβ peptides and neuroinflammation in senescence-accelerated-prone
Objective: Stable angina pectoris (SAP) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and blood stasis syndrome (BSS) is a potentially serious threat to public health. NF-κB signaling is associated with angina pectoris. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), which is a unique polyhydroxy alkaloid, is the
The sialyl Lewis-x determinant is a ligand for ELAM-1, a major adhesion molecule for HL60 cells and neutrophils. ELAM-1 expression can selectively be induced on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by tumor necrosis factor, interleukin 1 and lipopolysaccharide. The determinant sialyl
A growing body of evidence implicates ceramide and/or its glycosphingolipid metabolites in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. We have developed a highly specific small molecule inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase, an enzyme that catalyzes a necessary step in the conversion of ceramide to
Zika virus (ZIKV), a vector-borne virus of the family Flaviviridae, continues to spread and remains a significant global public health threat. Currently, there are no approved vaccines or antivirals against ZIKV. We investigated the anti-ZIKV ability of three iminosugars with endoplasmic
