Flavonoids from grape seeds prevent increased alcohol-induced neuronal lipofuscin formation.
AIMS In a previous study, we found that prolonged oxidative stress produced by chronic ethanol consumption leads to an increased formation of lipofuscin in hippocampal and cerebellar neurons. This pigment is an end-result of lipid peroxidation. Flavanols, which abound in the human diet, are known to exert a powerful in-vitro antioxidant action. Therefore, to evaluate whether these compounds mig...
متن کاملIsolation of flavonoids from Indigofera heterantha seeds
The seeds of Indigofera heterantha yielded a flavonoid characterized as quercetin 3-O-α-L-rhamnoside along with known 3,5,7-trihydroxy-6,4 ́-dimethoxyflavone and 3,5,4 ́-trihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyflavone. The isolated compounds were characterized by using modern spectroscopic techniques such as UV, IR, NMR and mass.
متن کاملMitochondrial contribution to lipofuscin formation
Mitochondria have been in the focus of oxidative stress and aging research for decades due to their permanent production of ROS during the oxidative phosphorylation. The hypothesis exists that mitochondria are involved in the formation of lipofuscin, an autofluorescent protein aggregate that accumulates progressively over time in lysosomes of post-mitotic and senescent cells. To investigate the...
متن کاملExtraction and Characterization of Proanthocyanidins from Grape Seeds
Grape seed contains many polyphenolic compounds that have potential health-promoting benefits. Among these compounds are proanthocyanidins, also known as condensed tannins, which is a class of flavanols. The basic structural building blocks of flavanols are polyhydroxyflavan-3-ol units linked together by C-C bonds. They are widely distributed in plants but grape seed has very high contents. Thi...
متن کاملEffects of Polyphenols from Grape Seeds on Renal Lithiasis
Nephrolithiasis is a complex disease that results from a combination of factors related to both urine composition and kidney morphoanatomy. Development of calcium oxalate monohydrate papillary calculi is linked to initial subepithelial calcification of renal papilla. Progressive tissue calcification depends on preexisting injury and involves reactive oxygen species. Many plant extracts that pro...
