geniposide/edema

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of geniposide on serum IL-1beta and TNF-alpha levels of rheumatoid arthritis rats, as well as the mechanism of this drug. METHODS To establish an experimental rat model of type II collagen-induced arthritic (CIA). The inhibitory effects on paw edema were observed, and

The effects of topical application of geniposide on 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate(TPA)-induced promotion of skin tumors, hyperplasia, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and inflammation were evaluated in female CD-1 mice. Topical application of geniposide (0.2 to 1.0 mumol) with TPA (15 nmol)

Geniposide, an active component of Gardenia, has been reported to protect against cerebral ischemia in animals. Ginsenoside Rg1, a component of Panax notoginseng, is usually administered in combination with Gardenia for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke; however, there are unknown effects of

BACKGROUND Gardenia jasminoides Ellis has been used in traditional medicine for treatment of inflammation, edema, and dermaitis. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism by which Gardenia jasminoides extract (GJE) elicits anti-allergic effects in mast cells and in mice with atopic

Gardenia fruit has been traditionally used as a folk medicine for centuries in Asian countries. Extraction with ethanol was used to obtain an extract (GFE) that contains two known constituents, geniposide and genipin, which were subsequently evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity. GFE, genipin,

We aimed to investigate whether geniposide, a main component extracted from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis fruit, could exert neuroprotective functions against traumatic brain injury (TBI). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used for detection of plasma cytokines. Real-time polymerase chain

BACKGROUND Huang-Lian-Jie-Du-Tang (HLJDT), a famous traditional Chinese prescription with wide anti-inflammatory applications, is an aqueous extract of four herbal materials: Rhizoma coptidis, Radix scutellariae, Cortex phellodendri, and Fructus gardeniae. Its effects on the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2

Genipin, the aglycone of geniposide, is metabolically produced from the geniposide in body tissues. The purpose of this study is to clarify some pharmacological actions of genipin. Genipin showed concentration-dependent inhibition on lipid peroxidation induced by Fe++/ascorbate in rat brain

BACKGROUND Huang-Lian-Jie-Du decoction (HLJDD) (Oren-gedoku-to in Japanese) as a famous traditional Chinese recipe is composed of Rhizoma coptidis, Radix scutellariae, Cortex phellodendri and Fructus gardeniae. It has been used to treat inflammation for nearly two thousand years. OBJECTIVE To
