abstract introduction: diabetes is one of the most common endocrine diseases spreading rapidly in the world. diabetes complications are classified into acute and chronic. non-enzymatic glycosylation of body proteins such as hemoglobin and albumin is the main cause of pathogenesis in chronic complications of diabetes. protein glycosylation is an oxidative reaction. antioxidants such as vitamin c...

Background & Aim: Salvia hydrangea is one of the medicinal plants belonging to Lamiaceae family. Medicinal plants can be marketed as fresh or dried products; however aromatic plants are often dried before extraction to reduce moisture content. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different drying methods on qualitative and quantitative changes in essenti...

A new phenylpropanoid glycoside (1), and two new coumarin glycosides (2, 3), together with two known compounds (4, 5), have been isolated from the stems of Hydrangea paniculata Sieb. Their structures have been determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods. Furthermore, compound 1 (50 μM) exhibited significant hepatoprotective activity against N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP)-induced HepG2 cell ...

Objectives: A wide range of liver and kidney disorders are associated with diabetes and there is a mutual relationship between diabetes and these diseases. Herbal medicine with having abundant ingredients is one of these options. The goal of this study was to compare the effects of alcoholic extract of aerial parts of Salvia hydrangea with glibenclamide on functional tests of liver and kidney i...

Hydrangea ringspot virus (HdRSV) is a plant RNA virus, naturally infectingHydrangea macrophylla Here, we report the first genomic sequences of two HdRSV isolates from hydrangea plants in Japan. The overall nucleotide sequences of these Japanese isolates were 96.0 to 96.3% identical to those of known European isolates.
