Phytochemistry, 80, 77-88 (2012-06-19)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major disability of elderly people. Sesamin is the main compound in Sesamun indicum Linn., and it has an anti-inflammatory effect by specifically inhibiting Δ5-desaturase in polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. The chondroprotective effects of sesamin were thus
Xiang-Qi Wu et al.
European journal of pharmacology, 683(1-3), 231-237 (2012-02-09)
In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the protective effect of sesamin on kidney damage and renal endothelial dysfunction in two-kidney, one-clip renovascular hypertensive rats fed with a high-fat-sucrose diet (2K1C rats on HFS diet). Sesamin was intragastrically administered
Ramez Alhazzaa et al.
Food chemistry, 134(4), 2057-2065 (2013-02-28)
Sesamin, a major sesame seed lignan, has diverse biological functions including the modulation of molecular actions in lipid metabolic pathways and reducing cholesterol levels. Vertebrates have different capacities to biosynthesize long-chain PUFA from dietary precursors and sesamin can enhance the
Wen-xing Li et al.
Food & function, 4(3), 453-460 (2012-12-15)
This study was designed to evaluate the in vivo cardioprotective effects of food-derived sesamin in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The study was performed with 17-week-old male normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and SHR which are untreated or treated with orally administered
Suwen Su et al.
Toxicology letters, 224(2), 257-263 (2013-11-12)
Oxidative stress caused by doxorubicin (DOX) is believed to be a major underlying molecular mechanism of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Sesamin (Ses), an active component extracted from sesame seeds, exhibits antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. In the present study, possible protective mechanisms of
