Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is one of the major causes of low back pain. Polydatin (PD) has been shown to exert multiple pharmacological effects on different diseases; here, we test the therapeutic potential of PD for IVDD. In in-vitro experiments, we confirmed PD is nontoxic to nucleus
BACKGROUND
Compelling evidence suggests that inhibition of the complex I of the electron transport chain and elevated oxidative stress are the earliest events during the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Therefore, anti-oxidants, especially those from natural sources, hold good promise in
Anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects of polydatin (PD) have been demonstrated in our previous studies. Recently, we have found that PD treatment can ameliorate burn-induced acute lung injury (ALI). In the present study, we hypothesized that PD may provide protective effect against
BACKGROUND
Polydatin (PD) has anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects in ischemic-reperfusion injury. Moreover, inflammatory responses and apoptosis play a role in the development of burn-induced lung injuries. Based on these findings, in this study we investigated the hypothesis that PD can
Arsenic causes lipid peroxidation leading to alterations in antioxidant status in organisms. In this study, the reproductive effects of chronic exposure to arsenic and the protective effects of polydatin (PD) were evaluated in 35 Wistar male rats, which were divided equally into five groups. The
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of the cartilage that is prevalent in the middle-aged and elderly demography. Polydatin (PD), a natural resveratrol glucoside, has shown significant anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic potential in previous studies. This study was designed to evaluate
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease. Damage to energy metabolism and reduced adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels in dopaminergic neurons are common features of PD. Previous studies suggested that the occurrence of PD often affects glucose metabolism and ATP production in
The prevalence of stroke is high in both developing and developed nations. It causes a heavy social and financial burden to the sufferers and their caregivers. Thrombolytic therapy is the only pharmacological treatment available for stroke. However, thrombolytic agents do not provide substantial
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Neuroinflammation induced by over-activation of microglia leads to the death of dopaminergic neurons in the pathogenesis of PD. Therefore,
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common chronic neurodegenerative disorder, broadly remains incurable. Both genetic susceptibility and exposure to deleterious environmental stimuli contribute to dopaminergic neuron degeneration in the substantia nigra. Hence, reagents that can ameliorate
Endplate chondrocyte apoptosis is an important contributor to the pathogenesis of cartilaginous endplate (CEP) degeneration that leads to the initiation and development of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). In this study, we hypothesized that Parkin-mediated mitophagy and nuclear
