Newest firstNavelina oranges (Citrus sinensis) are rich in phytonutrients and bioactive compounds, especially flavonoids like hesperidin. This study investigates the anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties of hesperidin (HE) and a polyphenol mixture from Navelina oranges (OE) in human hepatocytes (Hepa-RG) and hepatic stellate cells (LX-2), in order to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. In Hepa-RG cells, HE…
Open article record in new tab ↗Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a rare genetic disorder which, in its most common and severe form, HPS-1, leads to fatal adult-onset pulmonary fibrosis (PF) with no effective treatment. We evaluated the role of the endocannabinoid/CB1 R system and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) for dual-target therapeutic strategy using human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), lung samples from patients with HPS and c…
Scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis, is a multi-organ connective tissue disease resulting in fibrosis of the skin, heart, and lungs with no effective treatment. Endocannabinoids acting via cannabinoid-1 receptors (CB1R) and increased activity of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) promote tissue fibrosis including skin fibrosis, and joint targeting of these pathways may improve therapeutic efficacy. Recently, we showed th…
