proanthocyanidin b4/necrosis

A series of 17 proanthocyanidins and structurally related compounds was tested for activity against Leishmania donovani amastigotes and promastigotes in vitro. Most of the polyphenols significantly inhibited the intracellular survival of L. donovani amastigotes (EC50 0.8-10.6 nM) when compared with

Grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSPE) and ginkgo biloba extract (EGb761) are considered to have protective effects against several diseases. The cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin (DOX) has been reported to be associated with oxidative damage. This study was conducted to evaluate the cardioprotective

Peanut skin (Arachis hypogaea L., Fabaceae) is an abundant source for polyphenols, such as proanthocyanidin oligomers. To determine whether proanthocyanidin has beneficial effects on skin, we tested for inhibitory activity of proanthocyanidins isolated from peanut skin on inflammatory cytokine

To examine whether grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) which is known to act as an antioxidant has therapeutic effect on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice, an animal model of rheumatoid arthritis. Mice were treated with an intraperitoneal injection of GSPE (10, 50, or 100 mg/kg) or

Proanthocyanidins (PA) have been proven to suppress inflammation and promote osteogenic differentiation. However, whether PA could promote osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPDLFs) in inflammatory environment is unclear. Here, HPDLFs were stimulated by tumor

Objective: To investigate the protective effect of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) in paraquat-exposed mice. Methods: An acute lung injury model was established by a single intraperitoneal injection of paraquat (PQ) in BALB/c mice. The mice were randomized into control group,

Grape seed extract, primarily a mixture of proanthocyanidins, has been shown to modulate a wide-range of biological, pharmacological and toxicological effects which are mainly cytoprotective. This study assessed the ability of IH636 grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) to prevent acetaminophen

The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective role of grape seed extract (containing proanthocyandin) against the adverse effects of plant growth regulators (GA3 (gibberellic acid) and IAA (indoleacetic acid)). The present data showed that the administration of either GA3 and IAA

Angiogenesis plays a central role in wound healing. Among many known growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is believed to be the most prevalent, efficacious, and long-term signal that is known to stimulate angiogenesis in wounds. The wound site is rich in oxidants, such as

BACKGROUND We recently reported that a cranberry proanthocyanidin rich extract (C-PAC) induces autophagic cell death in apoptotic resistant esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) cells and necrosis in autophagy resistant cells. EAC is characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates supporting

The antileishmanial and immunomodulatory potencies of a series of 28 polyphenols were evaluated in terms of extra- and intracellular leishmanicidal activity and macrophage activation for release of nitric oxide (NO), tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and interferon (IFN)-like properties. For this,

Excessive chronic alcohol consumption enhances brain oxidative and inflammatory stress, resulting in cognitive deficit. This study investigated the potential alleviating effects of proanthocyanidins (PACs) on ethanol-induced cognitive impairment and stress in brain regions including the prefrontal

Several observations, both in humans and laboratory animals, have suggested that proanthocyanidins exhibit a broad spectrum of pharmacological, therapeutic and chemoprotective properties. Specifically, some of our earlier studies have shown that IH636 grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE,

BACKGROUND Positive effects of pistachio nut consumption on plasma inflammatory biomarkers have been described; however, little is known about molecular events associated with these effects. OBJECTIVE We studied the anti-inflammatory activity of a hydrophilic extract from Sicilian Pistacia L. (HPE)

Grape-seed proanthocyanidins (GSPs) have been shown to function as an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent with little toxicity in vivo and in vitro. However, little is known about their anti-inflammatory properties and mechanisms of action. The specific focus being its effects on the MAP
