nelumbo/hypoxia

Neferine, an alkaloid from N. nucifera has a broad range of pharmacological activity. Hypoxia mediated stress is involved in the generation of inflammatory responses and cell death. The present study evaluated the protective effect of neferine against hypoxia-induced cytotoxicity, oxidative stress

We have previously reported the prevention of Hypoxia mediated apoptosis by Neferine, an alkaloid from Nelumbo nucifera. The present study was designed to assess the role of neferine in modulation of hypoxia induced autophagy in muscle cells. Cytoprotective dose of neferine in muscle cells

BACKGROUND Neferine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, isolated from Nelumbo nucifera has a wide range of biological activities. Cobalt chloride (CoCl2) was known to mimic hypoxic condition. In the present study, we assessed the cytoprotective effect of neferine against CoCl2-induced oxidative

Flooding severely limits plant growth even for some aquatic plants. Although much work has been done on submergence response of some important crop plants, little is known about the response mechanism of aquatic plants, i.e. lotus (Nelumbo nucifera). In this study, we investigated the genome-wide

Dry seeds of anoxia-tolerant lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn=Nelumbium speciosum Willd.) have green shoots with plastids containing chlorophyll, so photosynthesis starts even in seedlings germinated under water, namely hypoxia. Here we investigated antioxidative enzyme changes in N. nucifera
