Quality Characteristics and Antioxidant Activities of Yanggaeng Added with Viscum album Extracts

Antioxidant Activity of European Mistletoe (Viscum album)

Local reactions to treatments with Viscum album L. extracts and their association with T-lymphocyte subsets and quality of life.

BACKGROUND In a previous study a decline of T-lymphocyte function was observed within a 6-month period of Viscum album extract (VA-E) application which did not occur in those patients with dose adaptation in response to strong local reactions (LR) or in those with moderate LR. To further investigate the immunological prerequisites of these differences in the VA-E susceptibilities, an analysis w...

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...

In vitro response of stimulated B-CLL lymphocytes of patients treated with Viscum album L. extracts.

BACKGROUND Extracts from Viscum album (VA-E) have been shown to induce apoptosis and immunoactivation. To exclude possible B-CLL propagating effects, the in vitro reactions of cultured peripheral blood B-CLL cells were analysed. PATIENTS AND METHODS Intracellular expression of apoptosis-associated mitochondrial Apo2.7 and proliferation-associated Ki-67 molecules in B-CLL cells from patients t...

Determination of Flavonoid and Polyphenol Compounds in Viscum Album and Allium Sativum Extracts

Ethnopharmacology is a new interdisciplinary science that appeared in Europe of the ‘90, in France, as a necessity claimed by the return to the traditional remedies of each nation. The aim of this study is to identify and quantify the active ingredients of the species Viscum album and Allium sativum, in order to provide a complex chemical characterisation, which is necessary for the use of thes...
