INTRODUCTION: Bitter melon (Momordica charantia, Cucurbitaceae) is a popular edible medicinal plant, which has been used as a botanical dietary supplement for the treatment of diabetes and obesity in Chinese folk medicine. Previously, our team has proved that cucurbitanes triterp...
Ulmus parvifolia (U. parvifolia) was traditionally used in the treatment of some diseases such as inflammation, diarrhea and fevers. With the wide application of molecular biotechnology in plant development and utilization, the pharmaceutical value and chemical composition of th...
Myocardial ischemia(MI) is a pathological state of abnormal energy metabolism due to insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the coronary arteries. The 'gut-heart axis' theory plays an important role in myocardial ischemia occurrence, mechanism, prevention, and cure. Traditional Mongolian medicin...
Lophosoria quadripinnata (J.F.Gmel.) C.Chr., a fern species from the Dicksoniaceae family, is widely distributed in Central and South America. This study aimed to identify the bioactive compounds in the aqueous extract of L. quadripinnata, evaluate its antioxidant potential through in vitro analy...
Abstract
Objective: Wulanwendusu-11 (WLWDS-11), a traditional Mongolian medicinal formula, is commonly used for the treatment of Cardiovascular diseases. However, its therapeutic material basis and in vivo metabolic profile in the context of chronic myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (M...
Direct infusion mass spectrometry (DI-MS) offers a rapid, high-throughput analysis and, compared to liquid chromatography MS (LC-MS), a different analytical window into the composition of complex biological samples. However, the lack of chromatographic separation in DI-MS results in highly comple...
Functional ecology and biodiversity lack integrative reference data that combine the assessment of traits at different levels. Here, we integrate data from 16 field samples of complex thallose liverworts (order Marchantiales) collected from biological soil crust communities in Southern Sweden and...
Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides exhibit various biological activities, but conventional extraction is biased toward high-molecular-weight polymers. This study aimed to explore the structure and bioactivity of low-molecular-weight polysaccharides from Ganoderma lucidum...
