Cognitive-enhancing activity of loganin isolated from Cornus officinalis in scopolamine-induced amnesic mice.

25 May 2009 We examined anti-amnesic activity of the methanolic extract of Cornus officinalis fruits (COT) and a major constituent, loganin using scopolamine-induced (1 mg/kg body weight, s.c.) amnesic mice with both passive avoidance and the Morris water maze ... Read more...

[Effects of traditional chinese medicine Fructus psoraleae on differentiation of mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-e1 cell in vitro]

29 Apr 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Fructus psoraleae on the differentiation of cultured osteoblast MC3T3-E1 cell isolated from neonatal mouse's calvarium. METHOD: F. psoraleae preparation was extracted with distilled water. A mouse osteoblast ... Read more...

Novel action of 7-O-galloyl-D-sedoheptulose isolated from Corni Fructus as a hypertriglyceridaemic agent.

29 Apr 2009 OBJECTIVES: We investigated the lipid-lowering activity of 7-O-galloyl-D-sedoheptulose, an active component of Corni Fructus, and related mechanisms. METHODS: Rats were fed a high-fructose diet for 6 days, followed by treatment with ... Read more...
