litchi sinensis/悪性腫瘍

Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has attracted a great deal of attention from scientific community due to its biocompatibility and environment friendly nature. In the present study, silver nanoparticles were biologically synthesized using leave extracts of Litchi chinensis. Biosynthesized

Litchi (Litchi chinensisSonnnerat, Sapindaceae), known as Chinese Cherry, is a subtropical fruit tree originating from southern China. Litchi seed extracts have diverse pharmacological effects, including anticancer. However, its anticancer effects and mechanisms on prostate cancer have not been

OBJECTIVE Adiponectin is secreted specifically from adipose tissue. Low serum adiponectin levels may cause metabolic syndrome, which is also a risk factor for carcinogenesis. Several studies have suggested a negative correlation between adiponectin and risk of cancers. This study examined the

Litchi chinensis Sonnerat is a tropical tree whose fruits contain significant amounts of bioactive polyphenols. Litchi cultivation has recently spread in Sicily where the climate conditions are particularly favorable for this crop. Recent findings have shown that Litchi extracts display anti-tumor

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive phototherapy that has gained significant attention for cancer therapy. However, image-guided PDT still remains a considerable challenge. Herein, we developed a targeted, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging nanoprobe for cancer cells by preparing

We carried out this study to unravel the function of Litchi Seed Aqueous Extracts (LSAE) on biological functions of breast cancer (BC) cells. MTT assay was adopted to measure proliferation of BC cells (MCF7, BT474 and MDA-MB-231) and normal mammary cells (MCF10A) under different time points (24, 48

Litchi fruit pericarp (LFP) extract contains significant amounts of polyphenolic compounds and exhibits powerful antioxidative activity against fat oxidation in vitro. The purpose of this study is to confirm the anticancer activity of LFP extract on human breast cancer in vitro and in vivo, and to

With tremendous research advances in biomedical application, liquid metals (LM) also offer fantastic chemistry for synthesis of novel nano-composites. Herein, as a pioneering trial, litchi-shaped heterogeneous eutectic gallium indium-Au nanoparticles (EGaIn-Au NPs), served as effective

Considerable pharmacological studies have demonstrated that the extracts and ingredients from different parts (seeds, peels, pulps, and flowers) of Litchi exhibited anticancer effects by affecting the proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, metastasis, chemotherapy and radiotherapy sensitivity,

Various medicinal plants are traditionally used in a hepatoprotective manner, like, for example, the Litchi chinensis leaf infusion that is employed in Chinese medicine as liver tonics to strengthen hepatic functioning. In this context, the present study was designed to evaluate the hepatoprotective

This study investigated the effects of oligonol, a low-molecular-polyphenol derived from lychee peel, against diabetes-induced pancreatic damage via oxidative stress-induced inflammation. Oligonol was orally administered at 10 or 20 mg/kg body weight/day for 10 days to streptozotocin-induced

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) flower ethanolic extract (LFEE) was found to contain five flavanoids [total amount, 102.73 ± 5.50 mg/g of dried extract (gDE)], nine phenolic acids (total amount, 60.31 ± 4.52 mg/gDE), and proanthocyanidin A2 (79.31 ± 2.95 mg/gDE). LFEE was used to evaluate the

The protective efficacy of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) flower proanthocyanidin fraction (LFPF) composed of (-)-epicatechin and proanthocyanidin A2 against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) generation induced by nickel (Ni) in hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep G2) cells was studied. VEGF is

The effect of Oligonol, a phenolic product from lychee fruit polyphenol (LFP) containing catechin-type monomers and lower oligomers of proanthocyanidin, on lipolysis in primary adipocytes was investigated in order to examine the possible mechanism underlying the regulation of in vivo metabolism in
