Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt. is extensively cultivated in East Asia as a dietary vegetable, and nutraceuticals are reportedly rich bioactive compounds, especially with anticancer activities. This study explored the vitro cytotoxic effects of P. parts’ (stems, leaves, seeds) extracts on prostate cancer cells (DU-145) possible interactions putative metabolites to related targets silico. The eth...

Allergy is characterized by an overreaction of the immune system. Perilla frutescens leaf extract has been reported to exhibit antiallergic inflammatory activity. To investigate precisely the effect and mechanism of 30% ethanol extract powder of P. frutescens var. acuta Kudo (EPPF) and rosmarinic acid (RA), a component of EPPF in allergic rhinitis and rhinoconjunctivitis, the antiallergic effec...

The photosynthetic assimilates in leaves of Perilla crispa attached to the plant were labeled by treating the leaves with (14)CO(2). When subsequently detached, these leaves exuded a negligible amount of radioactivity from the cut petiole into water. Ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), citric acid, and ethyleneglycol-bis (beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N'-tetraacetate greatly increased exudation of l...

There is an ongoing search for novel protein sources suitable to replace soybean meal. The present study aimed investigate the utility of cold-pressed perilla seed meal broiler diets. Perilla was included at dietary levels 0, 4, and 8 %. In first experiment, apparent digestibility metabolisability nutrients were performed with 24 Cobb 500 broilers. second growth performance carcass quality inve...
