THE DESIGNATION phyto-photo dermatitis is an excellent self-explanatory term for this skin condition. It was first coined by Klaber in 1942. He suggested that this name should be used to describe skin eruptions caused by external contact with plants and their extracts after subsequent exposure to sunlight. This rather interesting skin condition is not seen very often in this part of the world. ...

initiated work in this regard with respect to different PA species (Guo et al., 2011). Additionally, it can be speculated that PA targets (see this review by Guo and Wang) can phosphorylate SPHKs, leading to their activation as previously shown in mammals (Pitson, 2010). Clearly, solving the SPHK structures will be crucial for understanding the regulatory mechanisms that control these enzymes. ...

Phytocompounds have been used in medicine for decades owing to their potential in anti-inflammatory applications. However, major difficulties in achieving sustained delivery of phyto-based drugs are related to their low solubility and cell penetration, and high instability. To overcome these disadvantages, nanosized delivery technologies are currently in use for sustained and enhanced delivery ...

Purpose: This study aimed to extract phyto DNA from the adventitious root of Aloe vera and confirm its role in improving regenerating skin antiaging properties caused by blue light.Methods: Phyto was extracted a complex containing polylysine Poly (amidoamine) made. The antioxidant activity confirmed using DPPH method. MTT test performed on fibroblasts. expression SOD1, FLG, LOR, COL1A1, MMP1 me...

Phyto-oestrogens are believed to have a range of beneficial effects on predominant Western diseases. A few studies on phyto-oestrogens in milk exist and show that the composition can be affected by feeding. Therefore, the aim was to study how feeding of lucerne and grass/clover silages (GCSs) affects the concentration of phyto-oestrogens in bovine milk. Sixteen Danish Holstein cows were assigne...
