rehmannia elata/消炎（药

BACKGROUND The root of Rehmannia glutinosa (RR) is commonly used to reduce inflammation in various traditional Chinese herbal formulae; however, little is known regarding its active component(s). OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to examine the active component(s) responsible for the

The enzymes 5-lipoxygenase and elastase are therapeutic targets in dermatological disorders such as psoriasis. Fifteen extracts from traditional Chinese medicinal plants used to treat topical inflammations were screened for their inhibitory effect on lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase and elastase

Polysaccharide-rich Lycium barbarum and Rehmannia glutinosa have been considered to have immune-modulating activity. This study investigated the effects of water extracted Lycium barbarum and Rehmannia glutinosa (HE) on carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4))-induced liver injury in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley

Excessive activation of osteoclast activity is responsible for many bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, periprosthetic osteolysis, and periodontitis. Natural compounds that inhibit osteoclast formation and/or function have therapeutic potential for treating these diseases.

This study investigated the effects of Rehmannia glutinosa individually as well as in combination with the oral hypoglycemic agent, metformin in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic Wistar rats. R. glutinosa ethanolic extract was prepared and the constituents were characterized using fractionation

UNASSIGNED Tripterygium wilfordii (TW) is widely employed to treat rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disorders clinically, which, however, accompany with disturbing hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. The previous research showed that Panax notoginseng (PN) compatibly and significantly reduces the

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Kyung-Ok-Ko (KOK), a traditional medicinal formula composed of Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) DC, Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf, Korean Red Panax ginseng C.A.Mey, and honey, has been used to treat amnesia and

BACKGROUND The development of host-modulatory agents with low risk of adverse effects has been needed to treat periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease. A botanical mixture of extracts from two natural substances, Panax notoginseng and Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch, was developed as a novel

OBJECTIVE Rehmannia glutinosa is known in Asia as a traditional herbal medicine with anti-inflammatory properties. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disease associated with enhanced T-helper 2 (Th2) lymphocyte responses to allergens that results in elevated serum IgE levels and

Numerous studies have reported that inflammatory cytokines are important mediators for osteoclastogenesis, thereby causing excessive bone resorption and osteoporosis. Acteoside, the main active compound of Rehmannia glutinosa, which is used widely in traditional Oriental medicine, has

We investigated whether an aqueous extract of Rehmannia glutinosa steamed root (RGAE) inhibits secretion of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) from primary cultures of mouse astrocytes. RGAE dose-dependently inhibited the TNF-alpha secretion by astrocytes stimulated

Catalpol, a major iridoid glycoside present in Rehmannia glutinosa, has been reported to show a variety of pharmacological properties. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the anti-inflammatory effect of catalpol in intestinal cells remains poorly understood. The present study was aimed at

Catalpol, an iridiod glucoside isolated from Rehmannia glutinosa, has been reported to possess anti‑inflammatory properties. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the effects of catalpol on vascular permeability.

The endogenous neurotransmitter, noradrenaline, exerts anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in vivo and in vitro. Reduced noradrenaline levels results in increased inflammation and neuronal damage. The primary source of noradrenaline in the central nervous system is tyrosine hydroxylase

A glia-mediated inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In vitro, besides a direct neurotoxic effect on neurons, Abeta activates glia to produce an array of inflammatory factors including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), reactive oxygen species
