Objective: Liver regeneration is necessary to restore hepatic mass and functional capacity after partial hepatectomy (PH). Cynara scolymus (CS) a pharmacologically important plant that contains phenolic acids flavonoids, experimental studies have indicated it has antioxidant hepatoprotective effects. The aim of this study was investigate the role CS in liver PH rats. 
 Methods: A total 36 ...

En este estudio, fueron comparados los valores de las concentraciones fenoles totales en extractos acuosos plantas medicinales ecuatorianas que obtenidos usando el método espectrofotométrico desarrollado por Folinn y Ciocalteau titulación potenciométrica. Por potenciométrico se cuantificaron presentes cuatro (Ageratum conyzoides, Cnidoscolus chayamansa, Cynara scolymus Taraxacum officinale), cu...

Artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. var. scolymus (L.) Fiori) is a perennial plant of the Asteraceae’s family native to Mediterranean basin. Italy has rich artichoke biodiversity, but many landraces are subjected genetic erosion caused by increasing use commercial varieties that more homogenous in production. An Apulian landrace ‘Troianella’ was established vitro valorize and provide high-quality ...

Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) represents an antithrombotic and anti-atherosclerotic principle in the vasculature. Hence, an enhanced expression of eNOS in response to pharmacological interventions could provide protection against cardiovascular diseases. In EA.hy 926 cells, a cell line derived from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), an arti...

The recently acquired genome sequence of globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus) has been used to catalog the genome's content of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. More than 177,000 perfect SSRs were revealed, equivalent to an overall density across the genome of 244.5 SSRs/Mbp, but some 224,000 imperfect SSRs were also identified. About 21% of these SSRs were complex (two stretc...
