Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a potential proinflammatory cytokine, is an important component involved in neuronal apoptosis associated with neuroinflammation in the central nervous system. It has been reported that puerarin possesses pharmacological effects, such as anti-apoptotic, antioxidant,
Oxidative stress might play an essential role in the pathogenesis of chronic airway inflammatory diseases, indicating that antioxidant therapy may have a potential effect in controlling chronic airway inflammatory diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of antioxidants
Neovascular glaucoma is an ophthalmic disease and a potentially blinding secondary glaucoma caused by the formation of abnormal new blood vessels on the iris, which can prevent the normal drainage of water from the anterior segment of the eye. Evidence from China has suggested that puerarin benefits
To discuss the effect of puerarin (Pue) on the proliferation of hypoxia-induced pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and discuss whether its mechanism is achieved by regulating reactive oxygen. PASMCs of primarily cultured rats (2-5 generations) were selected in the experiment. MTT, Western
Puerarin, a major isoflavonoid derived from the Chinese medical herb radix puerariae (Gegen), has been reported to inhibit neuronal apoptosis and play an anti-inflammatory role in focal cerebral ischemia model rats. Recent findings regarding stroke pathophysiology have recognized that
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect and acting mechanism of puerarin preconditioning (PP) on blood level of cytokines in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in perioperative period.
METHODS
Forty patients with heart diseases scheduled to take surgical operation were randomized into the
The present study evaluated the potential protective effects of puerarin and its associated mechanism on burn-induced myocardial damage. A total of 40 healthy adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: i) Sham; ii) burn; iii) burn + puerarin; and iv) puerarin. Serum levels of
Myocardial dysfunction is a serious complication induced by sepsis. Puerarin is an oriental medicine that possesses therapeutic benefits for cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-myocardial dysfunction effects of puerarin in isolated rat hearts induced by
Bone graft defects may lead to dysfunction of bone regeneration and metabolic disorders of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Puerarin has demonstrated pharmacological activities in the treatment of human metabolic diseases. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of puerarin
Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) dysfunction is associated with the formation of carotid atherosclerosis. It has been demonstrated that angiotensin II (Ang II) may impair the function of EPCs and puerarin, a natural product, possesses cardiovascular protective effects against oxidative stress and
Osteolysis around the prosthesis and subsequent aseptic loosening are the main causes of prosthesis failure. Inflammation due to wear particles and osteoclast activation are the key factors in osteolysis and are also potential targets for the treatment of osteolysis. However, it is not clear whether
OBJECTIVE
To compare the effects of puerarin and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in treating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and on the size of infarcted area and cytokines.
METHODS
Seventy-nine patients with anterior AMI were randomly divided into three groups, they were treated
OBJECTIVE
We aim to investigate the mechanism of aquaporin 4 (AQP 4) up-regulation during high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) in rats under hypobaric hypoxia and preventative effect of puerarin.
METHODS
Rats were exposed to a hypobaric chamber with or without the preventative treatment of puerarin
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of puerarin on vascular endothelial function and inflammatory factors in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP). MATERIAL AND METHODS To evaluate the effects of angina pectoris, the differences of
Puerarin is an isoflavone isolated from traditional Chinese medicine Ge-gen (Radix Puerariae). Clinical studies have confirmed the cardioprotective effects of puerarin; however, the mechanisms underlying these effects are still unclear. On the basis of previous findings, we hypothesized that
