Gomisin A, a dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan isolated from the fruit of Schisandra chinensis, has been reported as an anti-cancer substance. In this study, we investigated the effects of gomisin A on cancer cell proliferation and cell cycle arrest in HeLa cells. Gomisin A significantly inhibited cell
The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effects of gomisin A, a lignan compound isolated from Schisandra chinensis, against liver and kidney damage induced by CCl(4) exposure. We assessed alterations in organ weights, levels of serum biochemical indicators, and activation of
Gomisin A (Go), a lignan component of shizandra fruits, protects the liver from injury by acetaminophen (AAP). One of its possible mechanisms is supposed to be related to the suppression of lipid peroxidation. Since hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was reported to prevent hepatotoxin-induced liver
This study examined the effects of gomisin A, a lignan compound from Schisandra fructus, on D-galactosamine (GalN) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hepatic apoptosis and liver failure. Mice were given an intraperitoneal injection of GalN (700 mg/kg) / LPS (10 microg/kg). Gomisin A (25, 50, 100,
The preventive effect of gomisin A, a lignan component of shizandra fruits, on acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in rats was examined by histological and biochemical analysis. Acetaminophen at a dose of 750 mg/kg was administered to male Wistar rats with or without pretreatment with 50 mg/kg of
Guinea pigs were sensitized with trinitrophenylated liver macromolecular protein fraction (TNP-LP1) prepared by using sodium trinitrobenzenesulfonate of strong immunogenicity as the hapten and LP1 as the carrier protein. The administration of trinitrophenylated hepatocytes and lipopolysaccharide to
Nearly all rats develop massive hepatic cell necrosis and die upon intravenous administration of heat-killed Propionibacterium acnes followed by a small amount of Gram-negative lipopolysaccharide 7 days later. However, when such an experimental liver disorder is induced in rats raised for 4 or more
Effects of oral administration of gomisin A, one of the components isolated from Schizandra fruits, on liver injuries induced by CCl4, d-galactosamine and dl-ethionine and on liver microsomal drug-metabolizing enzyme activities were investigated. Gomisin A suppressed the increase of serum
Oxidative damage and inflammation are implicated in the pathogenesis of liver injury and fibrosis. In the present study, we investigated the molecular mechanism by which gomisin A conferred a hepatoprotective effect, focusing on its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects using rats with carbon
Gomisin A (GA), a lignan component contained in the fruit of Schisandra chinensis Baillon, improves hepatic cell degeneration, vasodilatory activity and insulin sensitivity. These effects also impact the immune system, including various inflammatory mediators and cytokines. In this study, the
Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory periodontal disease that develops from gingivitis, is caused by periodontal pathogenic bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. Recent studies have focused on the antioxidant, anti-human immunodeficiency virus, anticarcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory
OBJECTIVE
To study the anti-inflammatory properties of OJ.
BACKGROUND
Ojayeonjonghwan (OJ) is a traditional Korean prescription, which has been widely used for the treatment of prostatitis. However, no scientific study has been performed of the anti-inflammatory effects of OJ.
METHODS
Peritoneal
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays an important role in the control of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. TNF-α-induced apoptosis is limited by TAK1-mediated activation of NF-κB (mainly p65-p50 hetrodimer) signaling pathway. We have recently reported
The beneficial value of the stems of Schisandra chinensis (SSC) in neurological diseases is unclear. We examined whether SSC aqueous extract (SSCE) alleviates striatal toxicity in a 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA)-induced mouse model of Huntington's disease (HD). SSCE (75, 150, or 300 mg/kg/day, p.o.)
