Researchers found gossypetin, a compound from sedum, effectively treats liver fibrosis and related brain issues in mice. It targets liver-brain axis, reducing liver damage and neuroinflammation. Potential therapy for chronic liver patients with neurological symptoms.
Twenty new flavonoids were identified in Sedum japonicum var. senanense leaves. Compound 8 had the highest antioxidant activity, while compounds 11 and 12 had the lowest due to neohesperidose attachment.
Study explores the nutritional and medicinal properties of L. (). Contains diverse bioactive compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fatigue, antimicrobial, anti-cancer, and cardiovascular benefits. Important for potential therapeutic applications and quality control.
Scientists analyzed 'Velour' A. arboreum genome, identifying unique gene families, including anthocyanin synthesis. Flavonoids, like anthocyanin, help plants adapt to stress, like high CO2 and temperature. Study sheds light on anthocyanin synthesis evolution and its link to light energy usage.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is caused by the loss of dopamine neurons in the brain, and its incidence increases with age. Salidroside is a compound found in certain plants, which has been studied for its effects on the nervous system. This review summarizes salidroside's impact on dopamine metabolism, neuronal protection, and glial activation in relation to PD. The article also describes several genes that affect PD susceptibility and the related mechanisms involving antioxidation, inflammation, and autophagy. While these studies were conducted on animals and cells, they suggest that salidroside may be a useful treatment for PD in the future.
