Bamboo's hidden treasures: unveiling the possible health-boosting powers of leaf and sheath extracts antioxidants_OA UniCalPortale bamboo leaf sheath extract antoxidant antiinfammatory
By Bhavana KunkalikarJun 13 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in the Antioxidants journal, researchers explored the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of bamboo leaves and sheaths .
Research on natural plant compounds' anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties has gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential applications in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. About the study The team gathered bamboo leaves and shoots in April 2022. The leaves were prepared by washing and cutting them into small pieces to be extracted later. Ultrasound-assisted maceration was used to process both shoots and leaves. Total phenol content was determined.
The study investigated the anti-inflammatory properties of bamboo extracts from Phyllostacys edulis. The research utilized polysaccharide -stimulated human macrophages as an acute inflammation in vitro model. The gene expression proportions of pro-inflammatory cytokines in BS- and BL-treated human M1 macrophages were evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction .
Three bamboo species obtained in China, namely Pleioblastus amarus, Lophatherum gracile, and Phyllostachys nigra, had a lower DPPH radical scavenging potential. The IC50 values for these species ranged from 1.25 to 5.07 mg/mL for Pleioblastus amarus, 1.59 to 2.72 mg/mL for Phyllostachys nigra, and 2.10 to 10.17 mg/mL for Lophatherum gracile.
Untreated M0 macrophages have low levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1/C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 and interleukin -6.

Determining how a sugar molecule can affect cancer cell response to chemoradiotherapyResearchers at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center and colleagues who have been exploring the complexities of biochemical pathways involved in cancer development have found that a form of glucose, a type of sugar, is intricately linked to a pathway used to build DNA molecules. When this pathway is overactive, it can lead to cancer and resistance to chemoradiotherapy.
