Cardamonin alleviates inflammatory bowel disease by the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
PMID: Biochem Pharmacol. 2018 09 ;155:494-509. Epub 2018 Jul 31. PMID: 30071202 Abstract Title: Cardamonin, a natural flavone, alleviates inflammatory bowel disease by the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation via an AhR/Nrf2/NQO1 pathway. Abstract: The present study aimed to evaluate the anti-colitis effect and underlying mechanisms of cardamonin, a natural flavone isolated from Alpinia katsumadai …
The highest risks for brain tumors were associated with a greater than 5-year latency period in the 20-29-yr age group for analog phones and cordless phones.
PMID: Arch Environ Health. 2004 Mar ;59(3):132-7. PMID: 16121902 Abstract Title: Cellular and cordless telephone use and the association with brain tumors in different age groups. Abstract: The authors' case-control study on the possible association between brain tumors and mobile and cordless telephone use included 1,617 patients and 1,617 controls. A questionnaire was answered by …
Autophagy induced by cardamonin is associated with mTORC1 inhibition in SKOV3 cells.
PMID: Pharmacol Rep. 2018 Oct ;70(5):908-916. Epub 2018 Apr 17. PMID: 30099297 Abstract Title: Autophagy induced by cardamonin is associated with mTORC1 inhibition in SKOV3 cells. Abstract: BACKGROUND: The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) integrates energy level to modulate cell proliferation and autophagy. Cardamonin exhibits anti-proliferative activity through inhibiting mTOR. In this study, the effect …
The ipsilateral use of an analogue cellular phone yielded a significantly increased risk for malignant brain tumours.
PMID: Int J Radiat Biol. 2002 Oct ;78(10):931-6. PMID: 12465658 Abstract Title: Case-control study on the use of cellular and cordless phones and the risk for malignant brain tumours. Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the use of cellular and cordless phones and the risk for malignant brain tumours.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A case-control study was performed on …
Cardamonin protects against adverse cardiac remodeling through mTORC1 inhibition in mice with myocardial infarction.
PMID: Pharmazie. 2018 09 1 ;73(9):508-512. PMID: 30223933 Abstract Title: Cardamonin protects against adverse cardiac remodeling through mTORC1 inhibition in mice with myocardial infarction. Abstract: The mTORC1-dependent signaling pathway is mainly involved in the adverse left ventricular remodeling (ALVR) process after myocardial infarction (MI). However, whether mTORC1 inhibition by cardamonin attenuates ALVR after MI is …
Cardamonin inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of non-small-cell lung cancer cells.
PMID: Anticancer Drugs. 2019 Mar ;30(3):241-250. PMID: 30640793 Abstract Title: Cardamonin inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of non-small-cell lung cancer cells by suppressing the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Abstract: Cardamonin, a natural chalcone compound, has been reported to exert anticancer effects in several cancers. However, the specific pharmacological actions of cardamonin on human non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) …
Ipsilateral use of a cellular telephone increased the risk of tumours in the temporal, temporoparietal and occipital areas by 2.42-fold.
PMID: Neuroepidemiology. 2003 Mar-Apr;22(2):124-9. PMID: 12629278 Abstract Title: Vestibular schwannoma, tinnitus and cellular telephones. Abstract: Cases with tinnitus after using analogue cellular telephones are presented. An increased odds ratio of 3.45, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.77-6.76, was found for vestibular schwannoma (VS) associated with the use of analogue cell phones. During the time period 1960-1998, …
