Preventive effects of Goji berry on dextran-sulfate-sodium-induced colitis in mice
Preventive effects of Goji berry on dextran-sulfate-sodium-induced colitis in mice Kang Y1, Xue Y1, Du M2, Zhu MJ3. Abstract Goji berry (Lycium barbarum) exerts immune modulation and suppresses inflammation in vitro and in vivo. We hypothesized that Goji berry had beneficial effects on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in C57BL/6 mice through suppressing inflammation. Six-week-old male C57BL/6 mice […]

High glucose-induced barrier impairment of human retinal pigment epithelium is ameliorated by treatment with Goji berry extracts through modulation of cAMP levels
High glucose-induced barrier impairment of human retinal pigment epithelium is ameliorated by treatment with Goji berry extracts through modulation of cAMP levels BarbaraPavan, AntonioCapuzzo, GiuseppeForlani Highlights High glucose impairs tight junctions of human retinal pigment epithelial cells. High glucose elevates intracellular cAMP levels in HRPE cells. Barrier impairment correlates with cAMP accumulation in HRPE cells. […]
