puerarin/inflammation

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

Aim. We aimed to investigate and evaluate the preventive activity of puerarin on the ovalbumin-induced asthma rat model. Materials and Methods. Male Wistar rats were sensitized intraperitoneally on days 0, 7, and 14 and challenged to ovalbumin intratracheally on day 21. Groups of sensitized rats

To investigate the effect of puerarin on insulin resistance and inflammation in rats with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Gestational diabetic model rats were established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (25 mg/kg) combined with high-fat feeding and were randomly assigned to three

Puerarin, a type of isoflavone, was shown to have multiple protective effects on myocardial injury. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of puerarin in the progression of lipotoxic cardiomyopathy. Primary cardiomyocytes were isolated from FATP1 transgenic (Tg) mice with lipotoxic

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 important active ingredient in the root of kudzu vine due to its pharmacological properties. The aim of the present study is to contribute to the existing knowledge of the effect of puerarin in the attenuation of inflammation and oxidation in mice with collagen antibody-induced

Puerarin is an isoflavonoid isolated from the root of the plant Pueraria lobata and has been used as a prescribed drug in China for the treatment of many diseases in the clinical practice. The present study aimed to determine the protective effects and the underlying mechanisms of puerarin on

Puerarin is a natural product isolated from Puerarin lobata and has various pharmacological effects, including anti-hyperglycemic and anti-allergic properties. In the present study, we investigated the effect of puerarin against advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced inflammation in mouse

BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in infants is acute and progressive hypoxic respiratory failure caused by various extrapulmonary pathogenic factors besides cardiogenic factors. Diffuse alveolar injury and progression to pulmonary fibrosis are pathological features of ARDS. The

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the common inflammatory immune disorders. Puerarin is the main isoflavonoid obtained from the root of Pueraria lobata and has been known have ameliorative effects on diverse inflammatory diseases. However, the effects of puerarin on AD have not been uncovered.

Nickel (Ni), one of hazardous environmental chemicals, is known to cause liver injury. Accumulating evidence showed that puerarin (PU) possessed comprehensive biological effects. The purpose of the current study was to test the hypothesis that the puerarin protects against enhanced liver injury

Puerarin (PU), a natural flavonoid, has been shown to possess many benefits and medicinal properties. In this study, we evaluated the effect of puerarin on oxidative stress and inflammation in kidney induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and explored the potential mechanisms underlying this effect.

This study was designed to evaluate the potential effects of puerarin (PR), an effective isoflavonoid compound purified from Pueraria lobata, in treating hepatic fibrosis (HF) rats induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4), 2 mL kg(-1) d(-1)). Compared to model control, PR treatment effectively

In the current study, the puerarin was investigated for both acute Carrageenan and chronic CFA-induced inflammatory pain models. The Puerarin treatment significantly attenuated (P < 0.001) the mechanical hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia in both Carrageenan and CFA-induced hyperalgesia. The
