摘要:
The invention relates to methods of treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy with flavonoids. The methods may include (a) providing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of flavonoid, and (b) administering the composition to a human patient, wherein the flavonoid comprises an isoflav-4-one with at least one of the carbons located at positions 8, 7, 6, 5, 2, 2′, 3′, 4′, 5′, or 6′ modified by an alcohol group. Alternatively, the flavonoid may comprise (1) a flavan-3-ol with at least one of the carbons located at positions 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 2′, 3′, 4′, 5′, or 6′ modified by an alcohol group, or (2) a Free-B-Ring flavone with at least one of the carbons located at positions 8, 7, 6, 5 or 3 modified by an alcohol group and with at least one of the carbons located at positions 8, 7, 6, 5 or 3 modified by a glycoside group.

摘要:
The present invention provides a novel method for inhibiting sugar-induced weight gain resulting from fructose and glucose driven lipogenesis. The method for inhibiting sugar-induced weight gain is comprised of administering a composition comprising a mixture of Free-B-Ring flavonoids and flavans synthesized and/or isolated from a single plant or multiple plants, preferably in the Scutellaria and Acacia genus of plants to a host in need thereof. The present also includes novel methods for the prevention and treatment of diseases and conditions resulting from high carbohydrate ingestion. The method for preventing and treating these sugar-induced diseases and conditions is comprised of administering to a host in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising a mixture of Free-B-Ring flavonoids and flavans synthesized and/or isolated from a single plant or multiple plants, preferably in the Scutellaria and Acacia genus of plants and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods of immortalizing various primary cell cultures, including pituitary cells, neurons, beta islet cells, glial cells, corneal epithelial cells and follicular stellate cells. The primary cells are transfected with a vector containing an establishment oncogene, resulting in non-transformed immortalized cells. The primary cells and/or the subsequent immortalized cells are cultured in a defined media containing one or more environmental factor(s) that control the proliferation and/or differentiation of the cells.
