sesamum prostratum/inflammation

BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of gastrointestinal tract of immune, genetic and environmental origin. In the present study, we examined the effect of sesamol (SES), the main anti-oxidative constituent of Sesamum indicum (sesame seed) Linn. in the

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a proinflammatory/oxidative state resulting in metabolic dysregulation and ovarian dysfunction. Isoflavones in soybean seed possess anti-inflammatory/antioxidant properties. So, in this study, the effects of soybean isoflavone-aglycones on tissue inflammation,

BACKGROUND Ketorolac is a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Recently, a ketorolac prodrug, ketorolac propyl ester, was synthesized in our laboratory. The aim of the study was to evaluate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of ketorolac propyl ester in five depot formulations.

Food intake and body weight changes in response to induction of acute inflammation were examined in intact cycling females, ovariectomized females, and sham-operated male rats. In intact females, body weight and feeding responses were compared between rats in which inflammation was induced on day of

Atherosclerosis, a major form of cardiovascular disease, has now been recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease. Nonpharmacological means of treating chronic diseases have gained attention recently. We previously reported that sesame oil has anti-atherosclerotic properties. In this study, we have

Sesame oil is widely consumed as nutritious food, cooking oil, and in pharmaceuticals and food. In this study, the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of the sesame oil and sesamin were investigated. The sesame oil and sesamin reduced the number of abdominal contortions at the doses

We previously reported that sesame oil (SO) has anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic and lipid lowering properties in vivo. Our recent studies have shown that, an aqueous extract of sesame oil (SOAE) has also anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic properties but with no lipid lowering

Dietary intervention to prevent inflammation and atherosclerosis has been a major focus in recent years. We previously reported that sesame oil (SO) was effective in inhibiting atherosclerosis in low-density lipoprotein-receptor negative mice. We also noted that the levels of many proinflammatory

Atherosclerosis, a major form of cardiovascular disease, is now recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease. Nonpharmacological means of treating chronic diseases have gained attention recently. We previously reported that sesame oil aqueous extract (SOAE) has anti-inflammatory properties, both in

BACKGROUND Currently, no long-acting nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug is available clinically for the treatment of long-lasting pain. The aim of the study was to evaluate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects and duration of action of a novel depot formulation of ketorolac benzyl

OBJECTIVE In our study, we aimed to investigate the effects of Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitor (SP600125) on fibrosis and inflammation in rats with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS 50 Wistar-albino rats were divided into five groups (n=10 each): control group, sham group, PCOS group,

OBJECTIVE We report LS phenotypes in aged Wistar rats (Charles Rivers, Wilmington, Massachusetts) with EPI. METHODS EPI was induced in 36 to 40-week-old male rats by castration with subcutaneous injections of 17beta-estradiol (0.25 mg/kg daily) plus dihydrotestosterone propionate (2.5 mg/kg daily)

Although the effects of estrogenic compounds administered during the perinatal period on the size and morphology of the prostate have been well documented, the effects of such exposures on inflammatory changes in the prostate have not been well characterized. Since neonatal estradiol exposure has

Sesaminol triglucoside (STG) is the main sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) lignan. Like many other plant lignans, STG can be converted to the mammalian lignans by intestinal microbiota. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the distribution of STG metabolite in rats, and the effects of

Sesame oil (SO) is a supplement that has been known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which makes it effective for reducing atherosclerosis and the risk of cardiovascular disease. Due to the side effects of statins, the current recommended treatment for atherosclerosis and
