The chemical composition of the essential oils isolated by hydrodistillation from the fruits of four selected Myrtus communis L. genotypes from Turkey was characterized by GC-FID and GC/MS analyses. 1,8-Cineole (29.20-31.40%), linalool (15.67-19.13%), α-terpineol (8.40-18.43%), α-pinene

OBJECTIVE To evaluate inhibitory potential of seven Korean thistles against the advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) formation as well as to identify responsible compounds from the most active species. METHODS We used an in vitro AGE inhibition assay to evaluate the anti-diabetic complication

OBJECTIVE Maintaining glucose homoeostasis is essential for the survival of cells. Despite the various health benefits of Korean thistle (Cirsium japonicum var. maackii), their effects on pancreatic β-cell apoptosis in type 1 diabetes mellitus and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, and

Previously, the correlation between antioxidant activity and HPLC profiles of several Korean thistles has been recognized. In our ongoing study of the comparative evaluation of Korean thistles, we chose Cirsiummaackii to assess the antioxidant and aldose reductase (AR) inhibitory activities of its

The anti-inflammatory activity of whole Cirsium maackii (family Compositae) plants and of its major flavonoid, luteolin 5-O-glucoside, was evaluated for their ability to inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2

In women, menopause refers to a series of physiological and mental symptoms of distress that result from a decrease in 17β-estradiol. In addition to the loss of fertility, the symptoms include facial flushing, depression, osteoporosis, sexual dysfunction, and genitourinary atrophy. Cirsium japonicum

Although Hif-2α is a master regulator of catabolic factor expression in osteoarthritis development, Hif-2α inhibitors remain undeveloped. The aim of this study was to determine whether Cirsium japonicum var. maackii (CJM) extract and one of its constituents, apigenin, could attenuate the

The brain and spinal cord have a limited capacity for self-repair under damaged conditions. One of the best options to overcome these limitations involves the use of phytochemicals as potential therapeutic agents. In this study, we have aimed to investigate the effects of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate

Diabetes mellitus can cause dysfunction of the central nervous system called "diabetic encephalopathy". Although various oral drugs are used to treat diabetes, they do not prevent the development of diabetes-associated cognitive decline in rats, and novel strategies for the prevention and treatment

Cirsium ehrenbergii ("red thistle") is a folk medicinal plant of the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. Its flowers and roots are used to prepare an infusion for drinking or applying vaginal douches; nevertheless, neither its secondary metabolites nor therapeutic properties have been described or confirmed.

Ten flavonoids belonging to the subclasses of flavones, flavanones and aurones were isolated from methanolic extract of Cirsium palustre leaves after multistep chromatographic separation. Their structures were elucidated with spectroscopic methods. All compounds, except for luteolin 7-O-glucoside,

Cirsium japonicum var. ussuriense (Regel) Kitam. ex Ohwi (C. ussuriense) is known as "Dae-Gye" or "Korean milk thistle". C. ussuriense have long been used as a folk medicinal plant for inflammatory diseases such as hepatitis, nephritis, and mastitis in Korea, China, and Japan. To reveal the
