lycium minutifolium/edema

OBJECTIVE Ischemic stroke is a destructive cerebrovascular disease and a leading cause of death. Yet, no ideal neuroprotective agents are available, leaving prevention an attractive alternative. The extracts from the fruits of Lycium barbarum (LBP), a Chinese anti-aging medicine and food supplement,

Current clinical antidiabetic drugs, like rosiglitazone 1, have been implicated in some serious side effects like edema, weight gain, and heart failure, making it necessary to find alternative agents. Partial agonists of peroxisome-proliferator activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) were determined

The relationship between pharmacological and antioxidant activity of the roots, aerial parts and fruits gathered from Lycium chinense were investigated in this study. The extracts of L. chinense showed anti-inflammatory activity against carrageenan induced rat paw edema and CCl(4)-induced liver

BACKGROUND Many fruits have been used as nutraceuticals because the presence of bioactive molecules that play biological activities. OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to compare the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of methanolic extracts of Lycium barbarum (GOJI), Vaccinium

BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas associated with high patient morbidity. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP), a traditional Chinese medicine with an active component extracted from the goji berry, has previously been reported to have anti-inflammatory

BACKGROUND Lycium europaeum Linn. is widely used to treat the burning of the skin and well-known as a medicinal plant having various biological activities. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study is to characterize the polysaccharide from L. europaeum L. leaves (LEP) and to explore its

Goji berry (Lycium barbarum) exerts immune modulation and suppresses inflammation in vitro and in vivo. We hypothesized that Goji berry had beneficial effects on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in C57BL/6 mice through suppressing inflammation. Six-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were
