چکیده

The transcription factor NF-kappaB is a promising target for chemoprevention. Several dietary plants are efficient inhibitors of NF-kappaB activation in vitro and could act synergistically on the NF-kappaB signaling pathway. In this study, we tested whether dietary plant extracts could inhibit NF-kappaB activation in a synergistic manner in vitro. Second, we investigated the potency of the same dietary plant extracts in the inhibition of NF-kappaB activation in vivo. A combined extract of clove, oregano, thyme, walnuts, and coffee synergistically inhibited lipopolysaccaride (LPS)-induced NF-kappaB activation in a monocytic cell line, compared with the sum of effects from the single extracts. Transgenic NF-kappaB luciferase reporter mice were given a single dose of the combined extract and subsequently challenged with LPS. NF-kappaB activation was monitored by in vivo imaging for 6 hours. In addition, NF-kappaB activity in organs and the expression of immune-related genes in liver were investigated. Based on the area under the curve, the extract decreased whole body LPS-induced NF-kappaB activity the first 6 hours by 35% compared with control mice. Organ-specific NF-kappaB activation was inhibited in intestine, liver, testis, and epididymis of the mice receiving the combination extract. In addition, dietary plants reduced the expression of genes related to inflammation, cell migration, and proliferation in liver. This study shows that dietary plants may be potent modulators of NF-kappaB signaling both in vitro and in vivo, and thus support further investigation of consumption of these plant foods as part of a healthy diet or as a mode of chemoprevention.

Antioxidant Activities of Hot Water Extracts from Various Spices

Recently, the natural spices and herbs such as rosemary, oregano, and caraway have been used for the processing of meat products. This study investigates the antioxidant activity of 13 spices commonly used in meat processing plants. The hot water extracts were then used for evaluation of total phenolic content, total flavonoids content and antioxidant activities. Our results show that the hot w...

Supercritical CO2 extraction of oregano and clove buds mixture-synergistic effect and chemical composition of extract

The goal of present study was to investigate kinetics of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO2) extraction of essential oils from dried clove buds and oregano leaves. Total extract yields after exhaustion of plant material at 10 MPa and 40°C (after consumption of 94.3 kgCO2/kg plant material) were 18.2% and 1.0 %, respectively. Synergistic effect in the extraction process was also investigated u...

Effects of selected plant essential oils on the growth and development of mouse preimplantation embryos in vivo.

Plant essential oils (EOs) have been reported to have health benefit properties and their preventive and therapeutic use in animals is expected to increase in the future. We evaluated the influence of five essential oils obtained from plant species which are known to have positive antimicrobial, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects--sage EO from Salvia officinalis L. (Lamiaceae), oregano...

Pathogens are the most important factors inducing postharvest losses on citrus fruit. Experiments were conducted as a CRD with 4 replications on sweet lime (Citrus limetta) and Valencia orange (Citrus sinensis) in 2003 and 2004. Treatments were pure essential oils of clove and thyme and in 25% ethanol solution at concentrations of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% and imazalil (2 ml/l). Results indicated that ...
