[ 1 ] - Ursolic acid: a versatile triterpenoid compound in regulating the aging

We and other studies have elucidated single molecules that can attenuate aging and extend longevity. Indeed, these molecules could prevent age-associated diseases simultaneously and probably extending healthy-life spans. In this review, we discuss recent advances, controversies, opportunities and challenges surrounding ursolic acid (UA) in relationship with aging. In this regard, UA also known ...

[ 2 ] - Isolation and optimization of mice skeletal muscle satellite cells using preplating method and culture media substitution

Introduction: Satellite cells are known as the main regenerative cell type in skeletal muscles. Our study established a modified digestion and preplating method for the isolation of slow or weak adherent cells for the enrichment of satellite cells. Low-survival rate of these primary stem cells prompted us to address whether cell culture medium substitution might change cell viability status. M...

[ 3 ] - Ursolic acid induces myoglobin expression and skeletal muscle remodeling in mice

Introduction: Ursolic Acid (UA) is a lipophilic triterpenoid compound, found in large amounts in apple peel. Anabolic effects of UA on the skeletal muscle and the role of this tissue as a key regulator of systematic aging aroused this question in mind whether UA might amend skeletal muscle performances such as myoglobin expression and also whether it switches skeletal muscle fibers from glyc...

[ 4 ] - اورسولیک اسید: تری‌ترپنوئید 5 حلقه‌ای موجود در پوست سیب با طیف گسترده‌ای از اثرات درمانی

اورسولیک اسید (که به نام‌های ursol، prunol، malol، 3β-hydroxyl-urs-12-en-28-oic acidنیز شناخته شده است) تری ترپنوئید 5 حلقه‌ای چربی دوستی می‌باشد که در طیف وسیعی از گیاهان و میوه‌ها یافت می‌شود. با توجه به کشف فعالیت‌های بیولوژیکی بالقوه و خواص دارویی در چند دهه‌ی اخیر بسیار مورد توجه قرار گرفته است. در این مقاله مروری اطلاعاتی درباره‌ی منابع غذایی حاوی اورسولیک اسید، نحوه‌ی بیوسنتز، استخراج از...

[ 5 ] - Myelin Protection by Ursolic Acid in Cuprizone-Induced Demyelination in Mice

Neuronal survival in multiple sclerosis (MS) and other demyelinating diseases depends on the preservation of myelin and remyelination of axons. Myelin protection is the main purpose to decrease myelin damage in the central nervous system (CNS). Ursolic acid (UA) as a natural product in apple is suggested to protect neural cells. This study is the first to demonstrate an effect for UA on CNS mye...
