dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol/cucurbita

Oxidative stress is induced by the accumulation of free radicals, resulting in an imbalanced cellular redox state, which has been implicated in a variety of human diseases. Dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DHCA), a lignan compound isolated from Cucurbita moschata, has previously been reported to contain

Dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DHCA), originally isolated from the stems of Cucurbita moschata, has previously been shown to exhibit anti-adipogenic and anti-lipogenic effects in 3T3-L1 cells and primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) (Lee et al., 2012). Here, we investigated whether synthetic DHCA

Estrogen deficiency after menopause increases bone loss by activating RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation. Dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DHCA), a lignan originally isolated from Cucurbita moschata, has been thought to be a phytoestrogen based on its structure. In this study, we tested whether

A water-soluble extract from the stems of Cucurbita moschata, code named PG105, was previously found to contain strong anti-obesity activities in a high fat diet-induced obesity mouse model. One of its biological characteristics is that it inhibits 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation. To isolate the

Estrogen deficiency results in an imbalance between the levels of bone-resorping osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts, eventually leading to overall bone loss. Dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DHCA), a lignan compound originally isolated from Cucurbita moschata, has been shown to bind to estrogen

OBJECTIVE Dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DHCA), a lignan compound isolated from Cucurbita moschata, has previously been shown to contain anti-adipogenic and antilipogenic effects on 3T3-L1 cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts. As some of phytochemicals derived from natural plants show
