Abstract:
... Poria cocos, a food ingredient and a traditional Chinese medicine, is a fungus commonly used in eastern countries. It exhibits diuretic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and anti-hyperglycaemic functions. In addition, the polysaccharide and triterpenoid components isolated from P. cocos exhibit anti-tumour effects in a number of cancer cell lines. Here, an extract of P. cocos, designated H287, ...

Abstract:
... The therapeutic effects of cocoa polyphenols on acute carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-intoxicated mice were investigated. After determining polyphenols profile in the cocoa extract (CE), CE at a dose of 34.5 mg/kg and epicatechin (EC) at a dose of 2.24 mg/kg were intraperitoneally (i.p.) administered to BALB/cN mice following CCl4 treatment. CE and EC post-treatments suppressed hepatotoxicity and infl ...

Abstract:
... (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is well known for its beneficial health effects in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Here, the neuro-protective effects of EGCG and their potential mechanisms after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) were investigated. Oxyhaemoglobin (OxyHb)-induced cell growth was accompanied with mitochondrial dysfunction, such as mitochondrial membrane dep ...

Abstract:
... The inhibitory effect of pure peptides from common bean on human colorectal cancer cells, their ability to enhance oxaliplatin effects, and mechanisms of action were evaluated. Peptides GLTSK, LSGNK, GEGSGA, MTEEY, and MPACGSS were tested for cytotoxic effects on HCT116 and CCD-33Co human normal colon cells; no peptide was toxic to normal cells. GLTSK (IC50 = 134.6 µM) and GEGSGA (IC50 = 156.7 µM) ...

Abstract:
... Mitochondrial bioenergetic adaptation is important for maintaining normal physiological functions, particularly in skeletal muscle, which displays a wide range of variations in energy demand. β-Sitosterol (BSS), an active component of Cistanches Herba, can influence mitochondrial membrane potential through its actions on mitochondrial electron transport and mitochondrial uncoupling in C2C12 myotub ...

Abstract:
... Passion fruit is a commercially important crop. The neuroprotective activity of fruit extracts from two hybrid lines of antioxidant ester thiol-rich Passiflora edulis Sims, the commercial “Passion Dream” and novel cultivar 428 (“Dena”) line were studied. Crude extracts from line 428 displayed the strongest dose-dependent neuroprotective activity, preventing glutamate induced cell-death, mitochondr ...
