Polydatin, a type of polyphenolic phytoalexin, has many physiological and pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities. Polydatin is an effective candidate drug for the protection of photo-inflammation. Polydatin exhibits therapeutic potential for vascular dementia, most likely due to its anti-oxidant activity and the direct protection of neurons.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Stilbene found in medicinal herbs. Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective.
Polydatin is one of main compounds in Polygonum cuspidatum, a plant with both medicinal and nutritional value. The possible hepatoprotective effects of polydatin on acute liver injury mice induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) and the mechanisms involved were investigated. Intraperitoneal
A pharmacokinetic study of the metabolic profile of resveratrol has been performed in healthy men after moderate red wine (RW) consumption. The bioavailability of resveratrol is highly influenced by several factors such as the food matrix and, therefore, this study
Expert opinion on investigational drugs, 22(2), 169-179 (2012-12-18)
The aim of the study was find out whether neuronal mitochondrial injury does take place in severe shock and to explore effective therapy for severe shock. Rats were divided in the following group: sham, shock + normal saline (NS), shock
It is well known that human keratinocytes produce the anti-microbial peptide β-defensin 2. Its production is enhanced by pathogenic microorganisms or other environmental stressors. In this study, we evaluated the effect of resveratrol, a polyphenol found in several dietary source
Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is an excellent model organism for the study of aging and longevity. In this work, we presented a microfluidic approach for the evaluation of longevity in C. elegans under stress. The microfluidic device integrated multiple microvalves
