Bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol and play an important role in regulating intestinal microflora. The different degrees of hydrophobicity acidity individual bile may affect their antimicrobial properties. We examined the effects on various microorganisms vitro confirmed whether these remain consistent vivo. Using human acids, including ursodeoxycholic acid, cholic chenodeoxycholic deoxycholic lithocholic a disc diffusion test was performed, rodent model created to determine each...
Individual differences in ginsenoside pharmacokinetics following ginseng administration humans are still unclear. We aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetic properties of various ginsenosides, including Rb1, Rg3, Rg5, Rk1, F2, and compound K (CK), after a single oral red (RG) bioconverted extract (BRG). This was randomized, open-label, single-dose, single-sequence crossover study with washout every 1 week, 14 healthy Korean men were enrolled. All subjects equally assigned two groups given...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma co-activator-1α (PGC-1α) has a central role in regulating muscle differentiation and mitochondrial metabolism. PGC-1α stimulates growth fiber remodeling, concomitantly lactate lipid metabolism promoting oxidative Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thumb.) been widely employed as traditional herbal medicine possesses antioxidant, anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, hypolipemic, hypoglycemic, anticancer properties. We investigated whether G. extract (GPE)...
Anti-obesity activities of Korean red ginseng saponin fraction (RGS) and/or Glycyrrhiza glabra L. extract (GG) were investigated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and high-fat diet-induced C57BL/6J obese mice. RGS GG extracts mixed at a mass ratio 3:1 (SG31), 1:1 (SG11), or 1:3 (SG13). SG31 showed the highest anti-obesity activity among three different ratios extracts. higher inhibition efficiency on triglyceride (TG) accumulation than either single without any cytotoxicity. It also decreases expression...
In patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, re-examination standard upper endoscopes by experienced physicians will identify culprit lesions in a substantial proportion of patients. A common practice is to insert an adult-sized forward-viewing endoscope into the second part duodenum. When tip enters after papilla, which marker for descending duodenum, it difficult endoscopically judge how far duodenum has been traversed beyond part.We three cases proximal jejunal masses that were...
