The extracts of the Citrus unshiu fruit induce numerous biological activities such as anticancer, anti-adipogenic, and antimicrobial effects. Furthermore, its peel has been used as a Chinese medicine for centuries and is consumed as a tea in China, Japan, and Korea. We investigated the effects of
Insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetes leads to hepatic steatosis that can accompanied by progressive inflammation of the liver. Citrus unshiu peel is a rich source of citrus flavonoids that possess anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and lipid-lowering effects. However, the ability of citrus unshiu
Symptoms that resembled virus infection were observed on several smooth blackberry (Rubus canadensis L.) plants in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park (GSMNP) during a project carried out in the summer and fall of 2006 as part of All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) activities (2). Diseased
The peel of Citrus unshiu Marcow. fruits (CU) has long been used as a traditional medicine that has therapeutic effects against pathogenic diseases, including asthma, vomiting, dyspepsia, blood circulation disorders, and various types of cancer. In this study, we investigated the effect of CU peel
Citrus Unshiu peel (CUP) has been traditionally used in East Asia as a drug for the treatment of vomiting and dyspepsia. However, its effects on inflammation remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of CUP on the production of pro-inflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide
Though many essential oils from citrus peels are claimed to have several medicinal functions, the chemical composition and biological activities of the essential oils of Citrus flowers have not been well described. Therefore, this study intended to investigate the chemical composition and
The tangerine pathotype of Alternaria alternata is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen causing brown spot disease on a number of citrus cultivars. To better understand the dynamics of signal regulation leading to oxidative and osmotic stress response and fungal infection on citrus, phenotypic
BACKGROUND
Naringin is a bioflavonoid derivative and is predominantly found in Citrus paradisi Macf., Citrus sinensis (Linn.) Osbeck, Citrus unshiu Marc., Citrus reticulata Blanco cv. Nobilis, Citrus tachibana (Makino) Tanaka, Citrus junos Sieb. ex Tanaka (Rutaceae), and related citrus species. It
A number of essential oils derived from plants are claimed to have several medicinal functions, including anti-cancer and anti-inflammation effects. However, the chemical composition and biological activities of flower-derived components have not been sufficiently characterized. Therefore, we
Alternaria brown spot, caused by Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissler, causes leaf, twig, and fruit lesions and reduces yield and fruit quality of many tangerines (Citrus reticulata Blanco) and their hybrids (3). In 2003, characteristic symptoms of brown spot were observed on young leaves and fruit
Tangeretin (TAN), a major phytochemical in tangerine peels and an important Chinese herb, has multiple biological properties, especially antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. Based on these findings, the aim of the present study was to A locally bred, 12-year-old, intact female Satsuma dog presented with generalized alopecia. Erythema, crusts and desquamation were observed primarily on the truck. Papules and erosions were present in the pinnae, and there were multiple areas of skin necrosis on the right forelimb. The cutaneous
Ten polysaccharides, isolated from various animal and plant sources, were selected for comparison with 2 bacterial polysaccharides, typical of Gram-negative endotoxins. The tissue sources were: mouse (kidney, liver, lung, stomach, Sarcoma 37, and Carcinoma 241-6); rabbit skin and chick embryo skin;
Phenolic glucosides having radical scavenging activity were examined from the fraction eluted with 20% methanol on Amberlite XAD-2 resin applied to lemon (Citrus limon) juice by using reversed phase chromatography. Four phenolic glucosides were identified as 1-feruloyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside,
OBJECTIVE
To establish an alcoholic liver disease model in rats to study the effect of Hepcidin on the development of alcoholic liver disease.
METHODS
Fourty SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups, 20 for each group. Saline [10 mL/(kg x d)] and 56% ethano infusion [10 mL/(kg x d)] were given
