摘要:
Disclosed are methods of alleviating oxidative stress, regulating blood glucose levels, and controlling pancreatic lipase activity by administering a Rosemary extract. Such methods may be useful to help body weight and body fat, prevent obesity, and treat hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, cardiovascular disease and Type-2 diabetes. Preferred extracts contain 20% or 50% carnosic acid.
摘要:
A Fraxinus excelsior seed extract that can be administered for therapeutic treatment of a subject, including a human, by blocking fat synthesis, activating PPAR-alpha, increasing hypoglycemic activity, reducing bodyweight, controlling fasting plasma insulin levels against hyperinsulinemia, and promoting insulin sensitivity and causing a beneficial acute insulinotropic effect. The Fraxinus excelsior seed extract includes, inter alia, an isolated compound (2S,3E,4S) 2H-Pyran-4-acetic acid-3-ethylidene-2-[(6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl) oxy]-3,4-dihydro-5-(methoxycarbonyl)methyl ester, commonly called excelside A, an isolated compound (2S,3E,4S) 2H-Pyran-4-acetic acid-3-ethylidene-2-[(6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-3,4-dihydro-5-(methoxycarbonyl) 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl ester, commonly called excelside B, and the compounds GI5, GI3, nuzhenide, and oleoside dimethyl ester.

摘要:
The present invention provides a dietary supplement and methods of using the same to promote body weight reduction and/or loss of body fat in a subject, and for the management of obesity. The supplement can further be used to reduce one or more metabolic parameters in a subject, such as blood glucose levels, blood triglyceride levels, and blood cholesterol levels.
摘要:
In one aspect, the present invention provides compounds having formula I or IV as shown below: as further defined herein. In additional aspects, the present invention provides compositions and kits comprising the compounds of the invention and methods for their use, for example, for the prevention or treatment of a cancer.
摘要:
Provided herein are methods of inducing apoptosis in cancer cells using neobritannilactone B (NAB) or acety neobritannilactone B (ANAB). Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods for using NAB or ANAB to prevent or treat cancer in a mammal. Exemplary cancers include, for example, colon cancer, leukemia, and gastric cancer.

摘要:
Compositions and methods for preventing and treating cancer are provided that comprise extracts of Inula britannica or compounds isolated therefrom. The compounds of 1-O-acetylbritannilactone or 1,6-O,O-diacetylbritannilactone are isolated and used for inducing apoptosis in cells and for treating cancer in an animal. Induction of apoptosis comprises contacting cells with a composition comprising the compounds in an amount sufficient to induce Bcl-2 protein phosphorylation. Further, treatment of cancer in an animal comprises administering to an animal a composition comprising the compounds in an amount sufficient to induce Bcl-2 protein phosphorylation to treat the cancer.
