Conventional osteoarthritis treatments have several side effects and poor efficacy. This study explored the anti-inflammatory and cartilage-protective effects of , with a focus on its potential application in osteoarthritis treatment. The anti-inflammatory effects of extract (AHLE) were investigated in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW264.

Ginsenosides, active compounds derived from Panax ginseng, exhibit promising potential in enhancing physical performance. This study investigates the impact of UG0712 (UG), a novel ginsenoside compound, on endurance capacity, body weight, organ weights, blood parameters, and specific transcriptomic changes in liver and muscle tissues using a C57BL/6N mouse model. The mice received UGs orally at three doses: UG50 (50 mg/kg), UG100 (100 mg/kg), and UG200 (200 mg/kg) for a specified duration.

Photothermal therapy is an anti-cancer strategy that induce cell death by converting light energy into heat energy. During photothermal therapy, cancer cells were treated with photothermal agents, such as indocyanine green, and irradiated with a laser. Heat stress in cancer cells results in cellular death and inflammatory responses.

Endothelial cell injury caused by oxidative stress is a critical factor in the initial stage of vascular diseases. Thus, identification of more effective antioxidants is a promising strategy to protect against endothelial cell injury. Recently, synergistic effects between phytochemicals have received renewed attention for their role in the treatment of various diseases.

Red clover and hops are already known for their alternative menopausal therapies; however, their combination has not yet been studied. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of red clover and hops extract (RHEC) for treating menopausal symptoms for the first time. A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for RHEC was developed and validated for the analysis of biochanin A in red clover extract and xanthohumol in hops extract.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Alpinia Oxyphylla Miquel is a widely used traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of abdominal pain, intestinal disorders, enuresis, and inflammatory conditions.

Aim Of The Study: In this study we aimed to demonstrate the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effects of Alpinia Oxyphylla Miquel extracts with 50% ethanol (AOE) in animal models.

Material And Method: The anti-inflammatory and nociceptive effects of AOE were estimated in vivo using a carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model, an arachidonic acid-induced mice ear edema model, an acetic acid induced mice writhing test model, and an ex vivo sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) inhibition assay.

This study was performed to demonstrate a No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for an aqueous extract of . According to other studies, using dried material or extract with ethanol or methanol determined a NOAEL dose of 1000 mg/kg or 5000 mg/kg in rats. Therefore, the groups were administered orally at doses of 0, 1000, 2000, and 3000 mg/kg for four weeks.

In comparison with raw garlic, aged black garlic has been shown to display multiple pharmacological activities. We recently reported that pretreatment of pectinase cocktail with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) before the process of aging garlic juice improves its antidiabetic activity and increases -allylcysteine (SAC) content. Thus, this study was designed to investigate the influence of pectinase cocktail with HHP on the quality of aged black garlic juice formation and to identify the optimal manufacturing conditions.

S-Allylcysteine (SAC), produced in large amounts during the aging process of garlic via enzymatic hydrolysis, is known as a key compound responsible for the multiple pharmacological activities of aged black garlic. This study investigated the effects of enzyme- and high hydrostatic pressure (HHP)-assisted extraction on the content of the bioactive compounds, including SAC, in black garlic juice (BGJ) and evaluated the antidiabetic effects of SAC-enriched BGJ in streptozotocin (STZ)-treated mice. The aging process increased the contents of SAC, total polyphenols, and total flavonoids in garlic juice.
