Ginsenoside Rc (G-Rc) is one of the major protopanaxadiol-type saponins isolated from Panax ginseng, a well-known medicinal herb with many beneficial properties including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiobesity, and antidiabetic effects. In this study, we investigated effects G-Rc on inflammatory responses in vitro examined mechanisms these effects.The inflammation system used lipopolysaccharide-treated macrophages, tumor necrosis factor-α/interferon-γ-treated synovial cells, HEK293 cells...
It has been suggested that hyperuricemia and possibly gout are associated with the metabolic syndrome, but there have no direct studies. This study was undertaken to obtain prevalence of syndrome in patients compare it those from general population a 4-institutional case-historical control composed 168 gout. We assessed according ATP III criteria compared historical controls. To elucidate factors were multivariate analysis done. The age-adjusted 43.6%, which significantly higher than Korean...
The aim of the study was to investigate association between levels leptin in circulating individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and severity disease.We looked through databases Embase, Medline, Cochrane Library. We conducted a meta-analysis on correlations Disease Activity Score 28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) C-reactive protein (CRP) RA patients, as well or patients.This analyzed 42 different comparisons from 37 publications, including total 2,350 patients 1,815 controls....
SUMMARY Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 is expressed abundantly in the rheumatoid synovium. In this study, inflammatory effect of TGF-β1 arthritis (RA) was investigated using cultured fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from RA and osteoarthritis (OA) patients, as well non-arthritic individuals. mRNA expressions IL-1β, tumour necrosis (TNF)-α, IL-8, macrophage protein (MIP)-1α metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 were increased OA FLS by treatment, but not FLS. Enhanced expression IL-8 MMP-1 also...
