Hypoxia as one of the most common clinical disturbances in pregnancy period can cause destructive changes in motor sensory cortex and can lead to imperfect organization in motor reactions. Crocin, a water-soluble carotenoid, is the most active ingredients of saffron and a lot of studies declare its
Alcohol dehydrogenase, NAD-dependent lactate dehydrogenase, and NAD-independent lactate dehydrogenase activities were investigated in corms cultivated in normoxic and hypoxic/anoxic conditions. Depending on the developmental stage, hypoxia/anoxia was a signal for increase in either alcohol
Mitochondrial dysfunction is the key pathogenic mechanism of cerebral injury induced by high-altitude hypoxia. Some Chinese herbal monomers may exert anti-hypoxic effects through enhancing the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation. In this study, effects of 10 kinds of Chinese herbal monomers on
The activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging enzymes, catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase, o-dianisidine and ascorbate peroxidases, was investigated in Crocus sativus L. corms cultivated in normoxic and hypoxic-anoxic conditions. The activity of the
Crocin, the main effective component of saffron, exerts protective effects against ischemia/reperfusion injury during strokes. However, the effects of crocin in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, and the mechanisms involved, remain unknown. Pretreated with crocin for 7 days, C57BL/6N mice were
The reactive oxygen species take role in pathogenesis of many diseases including hypoxia, hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, nephropathy, hypertension, ischemia-reperfusion damage, and heart defects. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether crocin administration could protect kidney injury
The biological activities of crocin, one of the main bioactive compounds of saffron, include anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidepressant, and anticancer effects. Crocin has been shown to trigger the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells, but its effect on the metastasis of gastric cancer cells
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a serious medical situation at labor which leads to severe brain damage. Hypothermia therapy is the standard treatment for infants with HIE, but the efficacy is limited. Combination treatments are considered to enhance the efficacy of hypothermia. Crocin is
BACKGROUND
Saffron and its main components have traditionally been used as pharmaceutical agents. Current experimental research projects have also exhibited their applications in a wide spectrum of disorder treatments. Area covered: This review covers the demonstrated findings and patents on
