OBJECTIVE
Brain edema developing due to central nervous system trauma is still a significant reason of mortality and morbidity. There is still no definite approach for the medical treatment of brain edema despite many clinical and laboratory studies in recent years. We therefore investigated the
BACKGROUND
We aimed to investigate the preventive effect of Proanthocyanidine (PC) in the prevention of RPE formation.
METHODS
Subjects were divided into four groups each containing 10 rats. In the Control Group (CG): RPE wasn't performed. Then subjects were followed up for three days and they were
Analgesic and antiinflammatory activity of proanthocyanidin isolated from Polypodium feei roots has been tested using acetic acid-induced writhing and carrageenan-induced paw edema methods, respectively. The compound at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg significantly decreased writhing responses of mice
Epidemiological and experimental studies have suggested that diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), which generate reactive oxygen species, may be involved in the recent increase in the prevalence of lung diseases. Cacao liquor proanthocyanidins (CPs) are naturally occurring polyphenols with antioxidative
The lymphedema is a high interstitial protein concentration edema, caused by impaired lymphatic transport capacity. It can be primary or secondary. The secondary form may be caused by a lesion of the lymphatic vessels and/or lymph nodes during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures such as surgical
BACKGROUND
Proanthocyanidin is a potent bioactive antioxidant naturally occurring in grape seed and acts as reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of proanthocyanidinin in experimental ovarian torsion injury.
METHODS
Twenty four rats were
This study aims to investigate the preventive effect of proanthocyanidin against ischemia-reperfusion injury after lung transplantation.The study included 12 swines (weighing 35±5 kg) and separated into four groups. Groups 1 and 3 were identified as control To elucidate the anti-venom mechanism of persimmon tannin, the interaction between a polymeric persimmon proanthocyanidin fraction (PT40) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied using a competitive binding assay and spectroscopic methods including Fourier transform
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of proanthocyanidins (PA) from grape seeds.
METHODS
Croton oil-induced ear swelling in mice and carrageenan-induced hind paw edema in rats were prepared. The nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity was measured by NADPH-diaphoras stain
Grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSPs) possess anticarcinogenic activities. Here, we assessed the effects of dietary GSPs on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced skin tumor promotion in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-initiated mouse skin. Administration of dietary GSPs (0.2 and
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a progressive fatal disorder. Bleomycin (BLM) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent causing PF. Numerous agents have been investigated to prevent the progression of PF so far, but there is still a need to find more efficacious agents. Proanthocyanidin (PA) is a strong
Persimmon proanthocyanidin was fractionated on Toyopearl TSK-HW-50-F to yield a fraction with strong inhibition on the catalytic activity and edema-inducing activity and lethality of Chinese cobra PLA(2). Thiolysis suggested that the terminal units included C, EGCG and myricetin, and epicatechin,
Proanthocyanidins (PCs), a component of grape seed extract (GSE), have recently being used for the treatment of wounds. However, poor absorption, poor stability and rapid elimination from the systemic circulation limit its acceptance. In addressing these problems, we herein report the development of
The ethyl acetate extract (SsAcOEt) from Serjania schiedeana, select fractions (F-6, F-12, F-13, F-14), and one isolated compound, were evaluated in 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) ear edema and kaolin/carrageenan (KC)-induced monoarthritis assays. SsEtOAc induced edema inhibition of 90%
Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. Rubra) has been prescribed as an analgesic for arthritis pain in Indonesian traditional medicine. The surface color of the rhizome is purple because of the anthocyanidins in its peel. We prepared 40% ethanolic extract from dried red ginger (red ginger extract
