Context: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that originates from central nervous system lesions or recessions. Current estimates suggest that this disease affects over 35 million people worldwide. However, lacking effective drugs is the biggest handicap in
Tenuigenin (TNG), isolated from the root of the Chinese herb Polygala tenuifolia, possesses various biological and pharmacological activities, including anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation activities. In this study, we aimed to further investigate whether its anti-inflammatory activity is
Tenuigenin (TEN), an active component of Polygala tenuifolia root extracts, has been shown to provide neuroprotection in neurodegenerative disorders. To date, most of these studies have focused on the effect that TEN has on neurons. Because activated microglia can release neurotoxic factors that
Pneumonia is the leading cause of death in infants and young children. Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) is one of the most important bacteria that leads to pneumonia. Tenuigenin (TGN), a major active component isolated from the root of the Chinese herb Polygala tenuifolia, has been known to have
Tenuigenin, a major active component of polygala tenuifolia root, has been used to treat patients with insomnia, dementia, and neurosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of tenuigenin on osteoclastogenesis and clarify the possible mechanism. We showed that tenuigenin inhibited
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication of sepsis, which largely contributes to the associated high mortality rate. Tenuigenin (TNG) is a natural product isolated from Polygala tenuifolia root, which possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. The present study investigated
Tenuigenin (TEN), a major active component of polygala tenuifolia root, has been reported to have a number of biological properties, such as anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the protective effect of TEN on acute liver injury has not yet been reported. This research aims to
Amyloid beta-protein (A beta) is a pivotal pathological factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Tenuigenin, extracted from the Chinese herb Polygala tenuifolia, seems to ameliorate the reduction in cholinergic function on rat models induced by A beta. To examine this therapeutic effect, we tested
Estrogen deficiency is associated with cognitive impairment. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has proven to be effective in preventing and reversing the memory and learning deficiencies. However, conventional estrogenic treatment could increase the risks of breast cancer and venous thromboembolism.
BACKGROUND
Tenuigenin (TEN), a major active component of the Chinese herb Polygala tenuifolia root, has been used to improve memory and cognitive function in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries.
OBJECTIVE
The present study was designed to explore the possible neuroprotective effect of TEN on
Polygala tenuifolia root has been used to improve memory and cognitive function in Traditional Chinese Medicine for more than 2000 years. Since tenuigenin (TEN) is one of the most utilized P. tenuifolia root extracts, it is surprising there is no evidence for the effects of TEN on learning and
BACKGROUND
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc).
OBJECTIVE
To study if tenuigenin (TEN), the main active component of Polygala tenuifolia, can protect dopaminergic neurons from
Tenuigenin (TGN), a major active component of polygala tenuifolia root, has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effect. In this study, we investigated the anti-neuroinflammatory effects of TGN on LPS-induced inflammation both in vitro and in vivo. The levels of tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α),
Tenuigenin, an active component of Polygala tenuifolia root extracts, has been shown to provide antioxidative and anti-aging effects in Alzheimer's disease, as well as to promote proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells. However, the effects of tenuigenin on Parkinson's disease
The present study was to investigate the influence of tenuigenin, an active ingredient of Polygala tenuifolia Willd, on the proliferation and differentiation of hippocampal neural stem cells in vitro. Tenuigenin was added to a neurosphere culture and neurosphere growth was measured using MTT assay.
