Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is widely considered one of the main causes of low back pain, which is a chronic progressive disease closely related to inflammation and degeneration of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. Baicalein is a natural bioactive compound with anti-inflammatory effects in
Accumulating evidence has suggested that inflammation in the brain participates in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Therefore, anti-inflammatory therapy has attracted much attention as novel interference to neurodegenerative diseases. Baicalein, a major flavonoid extracted from a
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease that is characterized by low bone density and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue. The increasing prevalence of osteoporosis has attracted much attention. In this study, MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts were treated with the natural compound, baicalein
In both type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), the deterioration of glycemic control over time is primarily caused by an inadequate mass and progressive dysfunction of β-cell, leading to the impaired insulin secretion. Here, we show that dietary supplementation of baicalein, a flavone isolated from
OBJECTIVE
Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of blindness in the elderly. At a later stage, neovascular or exudative age-related macular degeneration can lead to severe central vision loss that is related to aging-associated cumulative oxidative stress of the human retinal pigment
Ocular diseases such as cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy are the leading causes of blindness. The elderly population is at particular risk of developing one or more of these age-related ocular diseases. By virtue of multiple bioactivities, effort
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of baicalein on cognitive impairment and neuronal degeneration in a rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion induced by permanent occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries (2VO). It was found that baicalein (2 or 4 mg/kg/day, i.p.)
OBJECTIVE
Baicalein has been shown to offer neuroprotection in the ischemic brain, but its effect in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is unknown. The authors used a double-hemorrhage model to study the role of early baicalein treatment in SAH.
METHODS
Subarachnoid hemorrhage was induced in male Wistar
Background: Inflammasome-induced neuroinflammation is a major pathogenic mechanism underlying the degeneration of nigral dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD). Baicalein is a flavonoid isolated from the traditional Chinese
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a representative manifestation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Some studies have shown that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) play a vital role in the regulation of the SLE process. MDSC infiltration in the kidney as well as inflammation and OBJECTIVE
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers a complex series of inflammatory responses that contribute to secondary tissue damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of baicalein, a flavonoid possessing potent anti-inflammatory properties, on functional and histological outcomes
A well-known traditional Chinese medicinal prescription, Oren-gedoku-to (OGT), has been used in clinical therapies for many types of dementia in China and Japan. Additionally, it ameliorates the age-related deterioration of learning and memory in an Alzheimer's disease (AD) rat model. Indoleamine 2,
Glutathione (GSH) depletion is the earliest biochemical alteration shown to date in brains of Parkinson's disease patients. However, data from animal models show that GSH depletion by itself is not sufficient to induce nigral degeneration. We have previously shown that non-toxic inhibition of GSH
Aggregation of alpha-synuclein (α-SN) is a key pathogenic event in Parkinson's disease (PD) leading to dopaminergic degeneration. The identification of natural compounds inhibiting α-SN aggregation may have a major role in treating PD. Different Scutellaria species are known as valuable medicinal
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells is inevitable change of age‑related macular degeneration (AMD). Smoking is a major risk factor for the development of EMT in several diseases, including lung cancer. Cigarette smoke‑induced stress promotes the
