anemarrhena asphodeloides/glutathione

We investigated the protective effects against acute renal failure (ARF) of Anemarrhena asphodeloides (AA) and performed simultaneous analysis of three compounds, neomangiferin (1), mangiferin (2), and isomangiferin (3) in AA using a high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array. To

Sulfur mustard (SM) is a vesicating chemical warfare agent used in numerous military conflicts and remains a potential chemical threat to the present day. Exposure to SM causes the depletion of cellular antioxidant thiols, mainly glutathione (GSH), which may lead to a series of SM-associated toxic

Anemarrhena asphodeloides bunge is a traditional Chinese medicine and timosaponin BII is one of the most abundant and widely studied active ingredients in anemarrhena asphodeloides bunge. Related studies have shown that timosaponin BII has potential value for development and utilization. The

BACKGROUND Traditional formulae usually exhibit therapeutic effects through the combinations of different ingredients. The purpose of this study was to investigate in vitro anti-oxidative activity of Thanh Hao Miet Giap Thang (THMGT) (Sweet Wormwood and Tortoise Shell Decoction) formula and the

Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most severe diabetic microangiopathies and accounting for approximately one-third of all cases of end-stage renal disease. In the present study, we investigated the effect of mangiferin, a polyphenol from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge. or Mangifera indica L., on

Diabetic ophthalmopathy (DO) impairs patients' eyesight and even causes blindness. Here, we investigated the effect of 60% ethanol extract of the rhizome of Anemarrhenae asphodeloides (ERA), which is commonly used in Chinese medicine formulae in treating diabetes, on DO progression. Blood glucose,

This study was designed to investigate the action of timosaponin B-II, a main bioactive compound in Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge, on the prevention from high glucose-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the potential mechanisms involved. The

Timosaponin B-II (TB-II) is a main active saponin isolated from the rhizome of Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge., which is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, the effect of TB-II on learning and memory was investigated in a scopolamine-induced mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.

The ability of 80% ethanol extracts from five medicinal plants, Aralia continentalis, Paeonia suffruticosa, Magnolia denudata, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, and Schizonepeta tenuifolia, to neutralize hydroxyl radical, peroxyl radical and peroxynitrite was examined using the total oxyradical scavenging
