artemisia lerchiana/necrosis

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Artemisia lavandulaefolia essential oil on apoptosis and necrosis of HeLa cells. METHODS Cell viability was assayed using MTT method. The morphological and structure alterations in HeLa cells were observed by microscopy. Furthermore, cell apoptosis was

The aerial part of Artemisia douglasiana Besser (6) has been used in folk medicine as a cytoprotective agent against the development of peptic ulcer. The dehydroleucodine (DhL), its active principle, significantly prevents the formation of gastric lesions induced by the exposure of the rats to

Suppression of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and other interleukins by wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) extracts were reported recently in in vitro studies. The aim of the present study was to find out if this effect can be also be observed in Crohn's Disease (CD) patients where TNF-alpha

Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) is a predominant compound in Artemisia annua L., and it has been shown to inhibit tumorigenesis.

In this study, the antitumor potential of DHA was investigated in the MHCC97-L hepatocellular carcinoma cell

A human hepatoma cell line, Hep G2 cell, is reliable for the study of alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity. In this study, we investigated the effect of an aqueous extract of Artemisia capillaris Thunb (Compositae) plant (AC) on ethanol (EtOH)-induced cytotoxicity in Hep G2 cells. AC (0.5-5 microg/mL)

BACKGROUND Infusions of aerial parts of Artemisia vulgaris L. (Asteraceae) are used in herbal medicine to treat several disorders, including hepatosis. OBJECTIVE Evaluation of in vivo hepatoprotective effects of A. vulgaris infusion (VI) and inulin (VPI; i.e., the major polysaccharide of

BACKGROUND Artemisia princeps Pampanini (Asteraceae) is used as a traditional medicine to immune function-related diseases, such as dysmenorrhea, inflammation, cancer, and ulcers. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunostimulatory effects of the hot water extract from the

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role of zinc sulphate in immune regulation in Artemisia annua pollen-challenged P815 mastocytoma cells.Methods: P815 mastocytoma cells were treated with various concentrations of zinc sulphate and Artemisia annua pollen. Cell

To better characterize the development and growth of hairy roots in a mist-fed root bed, a single root aerosol reactor was developed. Growth kinetics studies were conducted on hairy roots of Artemisia annua as a function of the mist cycle, carrier gas, and nutrient compositions. Sustained rapid

The immediate-type allergic reaction is involved in many allergic diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis. The discovery of drugs for the treatment of immediate-type allergic diseases is a very important subject in human health. In this study, we investigated the effect of Artemisia iwayomogi

The genus Acanthamoeba, which may cause different infections in humans, occurs widely in the environment. Lung inflammation caused by these parasites induces pulmonary pathological changes such as pulmonary necrosis, peribronchial plasma cell infiltration, moderate desquamation of alveolar cells and

We have demonstrated that dehydroleucodine (DhL), a lactone isolated from Artemisia douglasiana Besser, prevents gastroduodenal damage induced by necrosis-inducing agents such as absolute ethanol. We have also reported, in a qualitative study, that this effect is related to the ability of the drug

Yīn-Chén-Hāo decoction (YCHD) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula composed of capillaris (Artemisia capillaris), gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides), and rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum) that is used for the treatment of damp-heat jaundice. In modern clinics, YCHD is mostly used for hepatic diseases.

The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of water extract of Artemisia ordosica (WEAO) on growth performance, antioxidant capability and immune response in weanling piglets. Seventy-two 28-day-old weanling piglets were randomly allocated into four treatments with six replicate

The hepatoprotective effect of DA-9601, a quality-controlled extract of Artemisia asiatica, on liver damage induced by acetaminophen (APAP) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was investigated by means of serum-biochemical, hepatic-biochemical, and histopathological examinations. Doses of DA-9601 (10,
