achyranthes aspera/tyrosine

BACKGROUND Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) plays pivotal roles in inflammation. Src and Syk are two tyrosine kinases that act upstream of NF-κB signaling. Although Achyranthes aspera L. (A. aspera) has been used as a traditional medicine to treat fevers and inflammatory ailments and heal wounds, the

Pharmacological treatment is a therapeutic approach to improving nerve regeneration and functional recovery after peripheral nerve crush injury. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of the polypeptides isolated from Achyranthes bidentata Blume (abbreviated as ABPP) on

The main objective of this study was to preliminarily determine the optimum formulation of a Chinese herbal formula that may have neuroprotective effects against rotenone-induced Parkinson's disease (PD). Seven recipes were made from Dihuang (DH, Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch), Roucongrong (RCR,

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder closely associated with dopaminergic neuron loss. It is well documented that Achyranthes bidentata polypeptides (ABPP) are potent neuroprotective agents in several kinds of neurons. Therefore, we proposed that ABPP might play a beneficial role
