Inhibition of methanol extract from the fruits of Kochia scoparia on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide, prostaglandin [correction of prostagladin] E2, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production from murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. (1/1)
In an attempt to search for bioactive natural products exerting antiinflammatory activity, we have evaluated the effects of the methanol extract of the fruits of Kochia scoparia (L.) CHARD. (Chenopodiaceae) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha release by the macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. Our data indicate that this extract is a potent inhibitor of NO production and it also significantly decreased PGE(2) and TNF-alpha release. Consistent with these observations, the protein and mRNA expression level of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 was inhibited by MeOH extracts of Kochia scoparia (KSM) in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, KSM inhibited the LPS-induced DNA binding activity of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), which was associated with prevention of the inhibitor kappaB degradation. These results suggest that the methanol extract of K. scoparia inhibits LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 expression by blocking NF-kappaB activation. (+info)'Bassia scoparia' is a species of plant also known as annual saltwort or Russian knapweed. It belongs to the family Chenopodiaceae and is native to Eurasia, but has been introduced and naturalized in many other parts of the world, including North America. The plant is an annual herb that can grow up to 1 meter tall and has narrow, oblong leaves and small green flowers. It is often found growing in disturbed areas, such as fields, roadsides, and waste places, and is known for its ability to tolerate saline soils.
It is not typically considered a plant with medical significance, although it has been used in traditional medicine in some cultures. For example, in Chinese herbal medicine, the leaves of the plant are sometimes used to treat sore throats and skin inflammations. However, it's important to note that the use of this plant as a medicine should be done under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional, as it can have potential side effects and interact with other medications.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but the term "Scoparia" is not a recognized medical term in human or veterinary medicine. It is most likely a botanical name, as Scoparia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Plantaginaceae. If you have a specific medical context in which this term was used, I would be happy to help further if I can.
'Carex plant' is a genus of small perennial plants that are commonly known as sedges. These plants belong to the family Cyperaceae and there are over 2,000 different species found worldwide. Carex plants can vary in size, shape, and appearance depending on the specific species, but they generally have narrow, grass-like leaves and triangular stems.
Some Carex species produce flowers and seeds, while others reproduce through rhizomes or underground stems. These plants are often found growing in wetlands, marshes, and other moist environments, although some species can tolerate drier conditions as well. In a medical context, certain Carex species may have potential medicinal uses, such as anti-inflammatory or diuretic properties, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
In the context of physiology and medicine, "kinesis" refers to a type of movement or motion that is spontaneous and not under the direct control of willful thought. It is a broad term that can encompass various forms of involuntary movements in the body, including muscle contractions, heartbeats, and peristalsis (the wave-like muscular contractions that move food through the digestive system).
It's worth noting that "kinesis" is also a term used in the field of psychology to refer to an individual's range of motion or mobility, but this usage is less common in medical contexts.
Artemisia is a genus of plants in the Asteraceae family, also known as the daisy family. It includes several species that are commonly known as mugworts, wormwoods, and sagebrushes. Some Artemisia species have been used in traditional medicine for their medicinal properties. For example, Artemisia annua, or sweet wormwood, contains artemisinin, a compound that has been found to be effective against the malaria parasite. However, it's important to note that some Artemisia species can be toxic and should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
Plant poisoning is a form of poisoning that occurs when someone ingests, inhales, or comes into contact with any part of a plant that contains toxic substances. These toxins can cause a range of symptoms, depending on the type and amount of plant consumed or exposed to, as well as the individual's age, health status, and sensitivity to the toxin.
Symptoms of plant poisoning may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, skin rashes, seizures, or in severe cases, even death. Some common plants that can cause poisoning include poison ivy, poison oak, foxglove, oleander, and hemlock, among many others.
If you suspect plant poisoning, it is important to seek medical attention immediately and bring a sample of the plant or information about its identity if possible. This will help healthcare providers diagnose and treat the poisoning more effectively.
Amaranthaceae is a family of flowering plants also known as the amaranth family. It includes a wide variety of plants, such as amaranths, beets, spinach, and tumbleweeds. These plants are characterized by their small to minute flowers that are usually arranged in dense spikes or clusters. The leaves can be simple or compound, and the plant can take various forms, including herbs, shrubs, and trees. Some members of this family contain betalains, which are red, yellow, or purple pigments found in the stems, roots, and flowers of certain plants. These pigments have antioxidant properties and are used as food colorings. Many species in Amaranthaceae are important crops for human consumption, providing sources of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
An encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work containing articles on various topics, usually arranged in alphabetical order. In the context of medicine, a medical encyclopedia is a collection of articles that provide information about a wide range of medical topics, including diseases and conditions, treatments, tests, procedures, and anatomy and physiology. Medical encyclopedias may be published in print or electronic formats and are often used as a starting point for researching medical topics. They can provide reliable and accurate information on medical subjects, making them useful resources for healthcare professionals, students, and patients alike. Some well-known examples of medical encyclopedias include the Merck Manual and the Stedman's Medical Dictionary.
I believe there might be a misunderstanding in your question. "Cyprus" is not a medical term or condition, but rather the name of a country located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It is an island nation that is known for its rich history, culture, and natural beauty. If you have any questions about Cyprus' geography, history, or other non-medical topics, I would be happy to try to help answer them!
"Salsola" is a term that refers to a genus of plants, rather than a medical concept. The plants in this genus are commonly known as Russell or Prickly Pear cactuses, and they are native to Asia, Africa, and Europe. They are not typically associated with medical definitions or conditions. If you have any questions about a specific medical term or condition, I would be happy to help you with that instead!
