BACKGROUND To determine the antitumor effects and its mechanism of n-butanol fraction from aril of Torreya grandis (BFAT) on H22 mice models of liver cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty ICR male mice were used to establish H22 mice models of liver cancer and then randomly divided into six groups, the normal control group, the model control group, the positive group (cyclophosphamide [CTX]), t...

In this study, we measured the composition and free radical scavenging activity of several species of nuts, namely, Torreya grandis, Carya cathayensis, and Myrica rubra. The nut kernels of the aforementioned species are rich in fatty acids, particularly in unsaturated fatty acids, and have 51% oil content. T. grandis and C. cathayensis are mostly produced in ZheJiang province. The trace element...

BACKGROUND Salt stress is a major factor limiting plant growth and productivity. Salicylic acid (SA) has been shown to ameliorate the adverse effects of environmental stress on plants. To investigate the protective role of SA in ameliorating salt stress on Torreya grandis (T. grandis) trees, a pot experiment was conducted to analyze the biomass, relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll content...

Chinese Torreya grandis (Torreya cv. Merrillii) is a unique economic tree species in China. Intensive management related to application of chemical fertilizer and herbicides caused serious soil quality degradation plantations. Totally, 120 samples were collected from the main disbtributed areas Southeastern In this area, pH values varied 3.68 6.78, with median value 4.91, implying trend acidifi...

Chinese torreya nut (Torreya grandis cv. Merrillii) is a unique edible that grows in China, which known for its ability to reduce blood lipids, prevent sclerosis, and coronary heart disease. However, effect on reproduction not well understood. In this study, the comprehensive effects of sex hormones endometrium female mice their uterine expression profiles were investigated. Here, feeding with ...

Rapid expansion of Torreya forests in the mountainous region in Zhejiang Province in the past three decades has produced many environmental problems such as soil erosion and poor water quality, requiring an update of its spatial distribution in a timely way. However, to date there are no suitable approaches available for mapping Torreya forest distribution, especially the new Torreya plantation...
