Epidemiological studies indicate that the daily intake of antioxidants from a traditional Asian diet reduces the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration. Many of the phytochemicals that are abundant in whole grains exhibit a wide variety of biological activity such as antioxidant,
OBJECTIVE
To study the effects of sodium ferulate on inflammation in human lung epithelial cells (A549) under oxidative stress and itsinfluence onthe expression of inflammasome NACHT-PYD-containing protein 3 (NALP3) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB).
METHODS
Human lung epithelial cells A549
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important starch-rich crop, but the storage roots only have a short shelf-life due to post-harvest physiological deterioration (PPD), which includes the over-production and polymerisation of hydroxycoumarins. Key aspects of coumarin secondary-metabolite
OBJECTIVE
To study the effects of Ligusticum and its two components (Sodium Ferulate and Ligustrazine as main efficacy components in Ligusticum for invigorating blood circulation) on muscle atrophy in a hind limb unloaded rat model.
METHODS
The tail-suspended rats were subjected to a 14-days disuse,
Most angiosperms encode a small family of 4-coumarate:CoA-ligases (4CLs) activating hydroxycinnamic acids for lignin and flavonoid pathways. The common rue, Ruta graveolens L., additionally produces coumarins by cyclization of the 4-coumaroyl moiety, possibly involving the CoA-ester, as well as
Untimely rains in wheat fields during harvest season can cause pre-harvest sprouting (PHS), which deteriorates the yield and quality of wheat crop. Metabolic homeostasis of the embryo plays a role in seed dormancy, determining the status of the maturing grains either as dormant (PHS-tolerant) or
Aromatic compound degradation in six bacteria representing an ecologically important marine taxon of the alpha-proteobacteria was investigated. Initial screens suggested that isolates in the Roseobacter lineage can degrade aromatic compounds via the beta-ketoadipate pathway, a catabolic route that
