Symbiotic formulation in experimentally induced liver fibrosis in rats: intestinal microbiota as a key point to treat liver damage?

Liver Int. 33(5) , 687-97, (2013)

Evidence indicates that intestinal microbiota may participate in both the induction and the progression of liver damage. The aim of our research was the detection and evaluation of the effects of chronic treatment with a symbiotic formulation on CCl4 -induced...

Structure and antiviral activity of arabinogalactan with (1→6)-β-D-galactan core from Stevia rebaudiana leaves.

Carbohydr. Polym. 94(1) , 179-84, (2013)

Cell wall polysaccharides from leaves of Stevia rebaudiana were extracted successively with water and with aq. 10% KOH. After the purification steps, homogeneous fractions (SFW-10RM and SSFK-10RM) were analyzed by sugar composition, HPSEC, methylation and (13...

A small multidrug resistance-like transporter involved in the arabinosylation of arabinogalactan and lipoarabinomannan in mycobacteria.

J. Biol. Chem. 287(47) , 39933-41, (2012)

The biosynthesis of the major cell envelope glycoconjugates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is topologically split across the plasma membrane, yet nothing is known of the transporters required for the translocation of lipid-linked sugar donors and oligosacchari...

Immunomodulatory and hemagglutinating activities of acidic polysaccharides isolated from Combretum racemosum.

Int. Immunopharmacol. 15(3) , 628-37, (2013)

Extracts of leaves of different species of the genus Combretum have been used historically to treat a variety of medicinal problems. However, little is known about the active components conferring therapeutic properties to these extracts. In the present studi...

Colloidal aggregates of Pd nanoparticles supported by larch arabinogalactan.

J. Phys. Chem. B 117(7) , 2134-41, (2013)

Palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) are used in catalysis, hydrogen storage, biomedicine, and so on. Arranging the self-assembly of PdNPs within colloidal aggregates is desirable for improving their consumer properties. Stable widely dispersed colloidal aggregate...

Proteoglycans from Boswellia serrata Roxb. and B. carteri Birdw. and identification of a proteolytic plant basic secretory protein.

Glycobiology 22(11) , 1424-39, (2012)

Water-soluble high molecular weight compounds were isolated in yields of 21-22% from the oleogum of Boswellia serrata and B. carteri. Using anion exchange chromatography and gel permeation chromatography, different proteoglycans were purified and characterize...

Analysis of the neutral polysaccharide fraction of MCP and its inhibitory activity on galectin-3.

Glycoconj. J. 29(4) , 159-65, (2012)

The pH-modified citrus pectin (MCP) has been demonstrated to inhibit galectin-3 in cancer progression. The components and structures of MCP related to this inhibition remained unknown. In this paper, we fractionated MCP on DEAE-cellulose column into a homogen...

In vivo/in vitro studies of the effects of the type II arabinogalactan isolated from Maytenus ilicifolia Mart. ex Reissek on the gastrointestinal tract of rats.

Z. Naturforsch., C, J. Biosci. 67(7-8) , 405-10, (2012)

Type II arabinogalactan (AG) is a polysaccharide found in Maytenus ilicifolia (Celastraceae), a plant reputed as gastroprotective. Oral and intraperitoneal administration of the AG protected rats from gastric ulcers induced by ethanol. No alteration of mechan...

Characterization of a Yariv precipitated arabinogalactan-protein from fruits of rye (Secale cereale L.).

Pharmazie 68(7) , 631-5, (2013)

An arabinogalactan-protein (AGP) with a molecular mass of 110 kDa was isolated from whole grain of rye (Secale cereale L.) by double precipitation with (beta-D-Glc)3-Yariv-phenylglycoside (3GlcY) and its structure was analyzed. The AGP consists of a hydroxypr...
