Previously, we demonstrated synergistic enhancement of vasorelaxation by combination treatment with Trp-His and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) in intact rat aorta. The aim of the present study was to determine whether this vasorelaxant synergy could be recapitulated in tumor necrosis factor-alpha
Tacrine (CAS 321-64-2) is a reversible acetylcholine esterase inhibitor that, despite exerting beneficial effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD), displays marked hepatotoxicity. Searching for safer drugs and taking into account the multi-pathogenesis of AD, two tacrine-NO donor hybrid molecules (FL16,
To evaluate the pathogenesis of lipid peroxidation in skin-flap necrosis and to select a novel herbal antioxidant to suppress lipid peroxidation and salvage the flaps, in vitro and in vivo experiments were instituted. In vitro studies revealed (1) the potentiality of the cutaneous microsomal system
The rhizome of Dioscorea bulbifera Linn, traditionally used to treat thyroid disease and cancer in China, is reported to induce serious liver injury during clinical practice. Diosbulbin B (DB), a diterpene lactone, has been found to be the main toxic compound in D. bulbifera. The present study aims
We investigated time-related productions of certain cytokines in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, a murine macrophage cell line, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) levels became detectable after 2 h and markedly increased over the first
Ferulic acid (FA), a phenolic compound found in various medicinal plants, has hepatoprotective effects against oxidative stress and inflammation. Here, we investigated the protective effects and the specific mechanisms of FA against hepatocyte apoptosis caused by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Mice
OBJECTIVE
In this study, we investigated the protective effect of ferulic acid (FA) on nitric oxide (NO) production in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-stimulated inflammatory human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and elucidated the mechanism(s) involved.
METHODS
The TNF-α-stimulated
Altered membrane integrity has been suggested as a major factor in the development of cellular injury during myocardial necrosis. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of the combination of ferulic acid (FA) and ascorbic acid (AA) on lysosomal hydrolases and membrane-bound
In our previous study, FA15 (2-methyl-1-butyl ferulic acid) was chemically synthesized as a novel ferulic acid (FA) analog, and found to notably suppress phorbol ester-induced Epstein-Barr virus activation and superoxide anion generation in vitro. In this report, we demonstrated that FA15, in
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities characterized by obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and dyslipidemia. Ferulic acid (FA) is the major phenolic compound found in rice oil and various fruits and vegetables. In this study, we examined the beneficial effects of FA in
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of ferulic acid (FA), an antioxidant from the Chinese herb Dong-Gui [Chinese angelica, Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels], on the regulation of various genes in hydrogen peroxide-stimulated porcine chondrocytes at the mRNA
Ferulic acid (FA), isolated from the root of Scrophularia buergeriana, is a phenolic compound possessing antioxidant, anticancer, and antiinflammatory activities. Here, we have investigated the hepatoprotective effect of FA against carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4))-induced acute liver injury. Mice were
Introduction: In multiple studies, involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of methotrexate (MTX)-mediated liver damage has been confirmed. Use of many drugs has been examined experimentally in order to prevent or diminish
OBJECTIVE
The diet supplementation with antioxidants-rich products is a way to protect people from free radical-induced diseases. In this study, we compare the anti-inflammatory/antioxidant activity of two compounds available as supplements: alpha lipoic acid (ALA) and ferulic acid (FA).
METHODS
The
The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the protective effects of ferulic acid (FA) against cyclophosphamide- (CTX-) induced changes in mice. Forty-eight male ICR mice were divided into four groups. Control group was intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected with 200 μL of phosphate buffer saline
