OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of the multi-glycosides of Tripterygium wilfordii (GTW) on Sjögren's syndrome (SS) in the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model.
METHODS
Twenty-seven 8-week-old, female NOD mice were divided into the GTW group, the hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) group, and control
Accumulating evidence indicates that adipose tissue inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle are inextricably linked to obesity and insulin resistance. Celastrol, a bioactive compound derived from the root of Tripterygium wilfordii exhibits a number of attributive properties to
Leptin resistance is a hallmark of obesity with unclear etiology. Celastrol, a compound found in the roots of the Tripterygium wilfordii and known to reduce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, has recently emerged as a promising candidate to treat obesity by improving leptin sensitivity.
Celastrol is a promising anti-obesity agent that acts as a sensitizer of the protein hormone leptin. Despite its potent activity, a sustainable source of celastrol and celastrol derivatives for further pharmacological studies is lacking.To elucidate the Compelling evidences posited that high level of saturated fatty acid gives rise to mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation in the development of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. Celastrol is a pentacyclic triterpenoid derived from the root extracts of Tripterygium wilfordii that possesses
BACKGROUND
Current research on the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN) suggests many important factors; metabolic disturbance, haemodynamic abnormity, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, innate immune system activation and podocyte lesion. Triptolide, which is active diterpene purified from
The uptake of modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and the accumulation of lipid droplets induce the formation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)-derived foam cells, thereby promoting the development and maturation of plaques and accelerating the progression of atherosclerosis. Celastrol is a
Triptolide (CAS 38748-32-2), a major active component of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TWHF), was reported to be sex-dependently metabolized mainly due to sex-related expression of CYP3A2. Sexual dimorphism in the expression of CYP isoforms is affected by sex difference in daily rhythm of growth
Obesity instigates various health problems such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and cancer. Resistin, an adipose tissue-specific secretory adipokine, operates endocrine functions through increasing insulin resistance. Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) migrate into the subendothelial space and
OBJECTIVE
To observe the immunity preventive action of Tripterygium wilfordii ployglycosidium (TWP) on type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in non-obese diabetic (NOD)mice and explore its possible mechanism.
METHODS
Changes of blood glucose, the incidence rate of T1DM and pancreatitis were observed and
Tripterygium wilfordii is a medicinal plant commonly used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis,and with pharmacological activities in anti-tumor and obesity treatment. The known active ingredients in T. wilfordii are mainly terpenoids,but with very low content. Therefore,the analysis of the
Celastrol (CL), a compound isolated from Tripterygium wilfordii, possesses various bioactivities such as antitumor, anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity effects. In previous studies, we developed CL-encapsulated silk fibroin nanoparticles (CL-SFNP) with satisfactory formulation properties and
Triptolide, isolated from the herb Tripterygium wilfordii, has been shown to potently induce apoptosis in various malignant cells by inhibiting RNA synthesis and nuclear factor-κB activity. Previously, we showed that triptolide promotes apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells via the
Hyperlipidemia, characterized by high serum lipids, is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have identified an important role for celastrol, a proteasome inhibitor isolated from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. F., in obesity-related metabolic disorders. However, the exact influences
OBJECTIVE
Celastrol, a triterpene from the root bark of the Chinese medicinal plant Tripterygium wilfordii, has been shown to exhibit anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and insecticidal activities. Also, it has been demonstrated that celastrol has obesity-controlling effects in
