[i]In vitro[/i] and [i]in vivo [/i]studies of the anti-immortalized effects of Hohrokutake ([i]daedalea dickinsii yasuda[/i]) extract on the immortalized cell line established from bovine granulosa cells
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2012, Vol 35, Issue 5
Abstract
1. [i]In vitro[/i] experiment The growth of immortalized cells was found to perfectly inhibit Eagle's medium containing a small amount of the extract. 2. [i]In vivo[/i] experiment The immortalized cells were injected to nude mice, and the extract was injected simultaneously and continuously. As a result, the extract was not found to inhibit the growth of transplantable cancerous cells. 3. Further studies are needed to establish the effects of a concentrated extract in vivo.

Stability and reference interval of serum phosphoglucomutase (PGM)
We examined the stability and reference range of serum phosphoglucomutase (PGM) in healthy subjects. Serum obtained from venous blood was stored at -80℃ and 4℃, and the stability of PGM activity was evaluated by measurin...
Protective effect of Brazilian propolis ethanol extract against stress-induced gastric mucosal lesions in rats. Its evaluation using oxidative stress markers
We evaluated the protective effect of Brazilian propolis ethanol extract (BPEE) against gastric mucosal lesions in rats with water-immersion restraint stress (WIRS) using oxidative stress markers. Exposure of Wistar rats...

Retinol-binding protein-4
Retinol-binding protein (RBP) is one of the members of the lipocalin family, which binds and transports retinol (vitamin A). Recent studies revealed that RBP has several isoforms; cellular RBP-1, -2 and -3, and plasma RB...
Epidemiological study of the relationship between C-reactive protein and diabetes in Japanese females
Recent evidence suggests that a small percentage of chronic inflammations are associated with the onset of diabetes. Based on this association, C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker, has been garnering attenti...
