In the present study, we examined the potent retinoprotective effects of an ethanol-based extract of Aucuba japonica (AJE) and its active ingredient, aucubin, on N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced retinal degeneration in mice. Retinal degeneration was induced by an
In intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), increased proinflammatory molecules secreted by human nucleus pulposus cells (HNPCs) could promote the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM)-degrading enzymes. IDD could be affected by both genetic and environmental factors, including microRNAs (miRNAs).
Eucommia ulmoides has been used for many years as a successful strategy to treat male infertility. Aucubin (AU) is the active ingredient extracted from Eucommia ulmoides. However, its protective action and exact mechanism on testicular injury is not yet Neovascularization in the retina is common pathophysiology of diabetic retinal microvasculopathy and exudative macular degeneration. Our study assessed the inhibitory activity of an ethanol-based extract of Aucuba japonica (AJE) on abnormal angiogenesis in the retina with a hyperoxia-induced
