In this study, in vitro inhibitory effects of 55 extracts or fractions obtained from 10 plant species on interleukin-1 (IL-1alpha, IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) biosynthesis were studied. The following plant materials from Turkish folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases
BACKGROUND
Sambucus australis Cham. & Schltdl. (Adoxaceae) is used in Brazilian folk medicine to treat inflammatory disorders.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the in vitro anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of S. australis.
METHODS
The anti-inflammatory activity of ethanol extracts of
Purpose: Accumulating evidence shows the genus of Sambucus exerts a broad spectrum of medicinal potencies such as anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial, and antidiabetes. Based on the previous studies, we hypothesized that bioactive compounds of Sambucus might alter several
BACKGROUND
Some herbal remedies are sold as food additives and are believed to have immune-enhancing properties.
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of five herbal remedies--Sambucol Black Elderberry Extract, Sambucol Active Defense Formula and Sambucol for Kids (with known antiviral properties), Protec
Altered or aberrant glycosylation is a common phenomenon in cancer cells and it originates from changes in the expression of the enzymes, glycosyltransferase, and glycosidase which up-regulate in response to some oncogenes in the glycan synthesis pathway. In this present study, it has been aimed to
Blueberry scorch virus (BlScV) is a member of the genus Carlavirus and one of the most widespread pathogens of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). The virus was first reported in the United States and has been reported in several countries in Europe, including Italy, Germany, the
A neutral polysaccharide, SPW-2, was purified from the leaves of Sambucus adnata Wall. using water extraction and alcohol precipitation, Sevage deproteination, ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography. This molecule had an average molecular weight of 7,040 Da and was composed of
Sialic acids decorating blood and cell surface proteins can play important roles in various biological processes. The inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1, as well as bacterial lipopolysaccharide, can activate vascular endothelium, increasing expression of
The expression of E-selectin reaches a maximum 4-6 h after stimulation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in vitro with tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and then declines to basal level within 24 h. If interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is added to the cell culture medium together
Rodlet cells (RC) are characterized by a distinctive cell cortex and conspicuous inclusions named "rodlets." These cells are particularly abundant and large in size in intestine of eels. Histochemical, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural investigations were carried out on European eel Anguilla
Many observations have reported glycosylation changes associated with apoptosis in different biological systems, although none of these has shown any general significance. In this work, we show that in cell lines from different histological origin, (colon, breast, pancreas, and bladder cancer) as
Macrophages eliminate apoptotic granulocytes before their secondary necrosis during resolution of inflammation. A well-known glucocorticoid, the anti-inflammatory dexamethasone augments phagocytosis capacity of macrophages with a so far not fully clarified mechanism. We have found that sialylation
BACKGROUND
The aging kidney is marked by a chronic inflammation, which may exacerbate the progression of renal dysfunction, as well as increase the susceptibility to acute injury. The identification of strategies to alleviate inflammation may have translational impact to attenuate kidney
