چکیده

We evaluated the immunomodulatory effects of a proanthocyanidin-rich extract (PAE) from Pinus radiata bark in Korean native chickens. In experiment 1, proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells was significantly enhanced in chickens administered 1.25, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg of PAE for 2 wk once daily by oral gavage compared with no administration of PAE in vitro. Proliferation of splenocyte and thymocyte cells was also significantly enhanced in chickens administered 1.25, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg of PAE for 5 wk. In experiment 2, proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, splenocytes, and thymocytes in chickens administered PAE for 6 wk was continuously higher than that in other groups. Additionally, increasing cell populations for which CD4(+)CD8(-)(Th cells) and Bu-1(+) (B cells) protein was expressed on the cell surface were significantly different after 4 wk of PAE administration in chickens. Thus, the immunomodulatory effects of a PAE from P. radiata bark differed by dosing period in chickens.

Effect of pine bark (Pinus radiata) extracts on sporulation of coccidian oocysts.

A series of experiments have been undertaken to determine the effect of water extracts from pine bark (Pinus radiata) on the inhibition of the sporulation of oocysts of three species of avian coccidia. Tubes containing coccidian oocysts isolated from droppings of coccidia-infected chickens were randomly assigned to 0, 250, 500 and 1000 microg/ml pine bark extract (PBE). The tubes were incubated...

EFFECT OF THE BENCH SCALE EXTRACTION CONDITIONS ON Pinus radiata BARK EXTRACT YIELD, ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES AND COMPOSITION

Many pine bark extracts have antioxidant properties. This work examined bench scale extraction on the yield, the composition and antioxidant properties of Pinus radiata. Acetone solvent (98.7% w/w at 120 °C) yielded maximum phenols concentration, tannins concentration, anti-radical activity (DPPH) and reducing activity (FRAP), although its extraction yield was the lowest. When the organic solve...

Cytoprotective Effect of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Pinus eldarica Bark against H2O2-Induced Oxidative Stress in Human Endothelial Cells

Background: Pinus eldarica is a widely growing pine in Iran consisting of biologically active constituents with antioxidant properties. This study investigates the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of P. eldarica bark against oxidative damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Methods: The total phenolic content of p. eldarica extract was dete...

Pyrolysis Products of Pinus Radiata Bark

The yields of char, tar, and non-condensible gases from the pyrolysis of Pinus radiata D. Don bark were measured. Pyrolysis of bark, on a small preparative scale using an airacetylene flame, gave 48% char with ash content 3.5% (mainly aluminium, calcium, potassium, and silica), and recovered tar in 7% yield (on oven-dried bark equivalent). The major components of the pyrolysis tar were catechol...
