Inhibitors of nitric oxide production from hops (Humulus lupulus L.).

Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in many inflammatory responses and is also involved in carcinogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of extracts from Humulus lupulus L. on both the production of NO and the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. The production of NO was induced by a combination of lipopolysaccharide...

Predicting Offspring Performance in Hop (Humulus lupulus L

J. Am. Soc. Brew. Chem. 68(3):125-131, 2010 Genetic information for male and female hop accessions is limited, hampering parental selection to maximize offspring productivity. Our objective was to determine whether amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)derived genetic distance (GDmm) estimates and coancestry estimates from pedigrees (GSped) between parental pairs could be used to predict...

Designing and Validation of One-Step T-ARMS-PCR for Genotyping the eNOS rs1799983 SNP

Background: The transversion of G to T (G894T) in human endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene has profound effects such as male infertility, recurrent miscarriage, multiple sclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.Objectives: Development of a new Multiplex Tetra-Primer Amplifi cation Refractory Mutation System - Polymerase Chain Reaction (T-ARMS-PCR) for detection of...

Determination of aroma and bitter characteristic of Iranian hop (Humulus lupulus L.) variety by essential oil analysis

Hop (Humulus lupulus L) is cultivated worldwide for two purposes of aroma and bitter taste. The main objective of this study was to determine the predominant characteristic of hop cultivated in Iran using GC-MS analysis of essential oils obtained from fresh and heat dried hop strobiles. Essential oils (EO) of female flowers of hop (Humulus lupulus L.) cultivated in Gorgan, Iran were obtained by...
