scutellaria diffusa/triglyceride

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects and related mechanism of Scutellaria baicalensis stem-leaf total flavonoid (SSTF) on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation induced by high triglyceride blood serum (HTG). METHODS VSMCs isolated from rat aorta were cultured in vitro and proliferation

Scutellaria baicalensis has been extensively employed for the clinical treatment of hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension, dysentery, inflammatory diseases, and the common cold. The present study was performed to investigate the anti-obesity and anti-dyslipidemia effect of Scutellaria

This study was performed to evaluate the anti-hyperthyroidal effects and action mechanism of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SB), a medicinal herb, on levothyroxine (LT4)-induced hyperthyroidal rats.

Male Wistar rats were divided into five

The aims of the present study were to examine the hepatoprotective effect of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi extract (Scutellariae Radix extract; SRE) against acute alcohol‑induced liver injury in mice, and investigate the mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. High performance liquid

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of bioflavonoids from the radix of Scurellaria baicalensis on the level of lipids, via the determination of the concentrations of triglycerides, total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the plasma of laboratory rats fed

The dermis of human skin contains large numbers of fibroblasts that are responsible for the production of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that supporting skin integrity, elasticity and wound healing. Previously, an in vivo study demonstrated that dermal fibroblasts siting in the lower dermis are

Insulin resistance is strongly associated with the metabolic syndrome, and chronic inflammation is known to be a major mechanism of insulin resistance and is a therapeutic target. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Scutellaria baicalensis (SB) in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced

Baicalein, the main flavonoid extracted from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, has been demonstrated to exert multiple pharmacological effects, and thus could be utilized as a potential feed additive in broiler chickens. This study evaluated the effects of broiler chicken diet

BACKGROUND SH21B is an anti-obesity composition composed of seven herbs: Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Prunus armeniaca Maxim, Ephedra sinica Stapf, Acorus gramineus Soland, Typha orientalis Presl, Polygala tenuifolia Willd and Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner. It has been used for the treatment of

Oxidative stress is the root cause of diabetic macro- and microvascular complications. Biochemical and epidemiological studies indicate that current treatments for diabetes do not reduce risks of developing complications, suggesting their inability to alleviate the levels of oxidative stress. This

Obesity is one of the main causes of human cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Baicalin, a bioactive flavonoid isolated from the herbal medicine Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, is reported to ameliorate obesity and hyperlipidemia. However, its mechanism remains unclear. Here, we used

Baicalein is a type of flavonoid that originates from Scutellaria baicalensis. In this study, we examined how baicalein inhibits lipid accumulation during adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells. Our data show that baicalein inhibited lipid accumulation during adipogenesis in a dose-dependent manner. Baicalein

Baicalein, one of the major flavonoids in Scutellaria baicalensis (Chinese Skullcap), is well known for its effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammation. Here we show that baicalein also inhibits the adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Baicalein inhibited triglyceride accumulation

Scutellaria baicalensis has been reported to improve the lipid metabolism of high-fat diet-induced liver dysfunction, but direct evidence is rare. This study aimed to explore the effects and mechanisms of S. baicalensis and its major constituent baicalin on hepatic lipotoxicity. KK-Ay mice and
