متن کاملThe possible "chondroprotective" effect of the unsaponifiable constituents of avocado and soya in vivo.
An experimental in vivo model for studying cartilage destruction has been used to study the possible chondroprotective effect of the unsaponifiable constituents of avocado, soya and their combination at a ratio of 1:2. The method consists of implanting rat articular cartilage wrapped in cotton subcutaneously in mice, treating the animals daily for 2 weeks with the preparations in question, then...
متن کاملActivation of TGF-β Pathway by Areca Nut Constituents: A Possible Cause of Oral Submucous Fibrosis
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of excess collagen, and areca nut chewing has been proposed as an important etiological factor for disease manifestation. Activation of transforming growth factor-β signaling has been postulated as the main causative event for increased collagen production in OSF. Oral epithelium plays important ro...
