Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and elevated structural deterioration of the bone tissue, resulting in bone weakness with an increased risk of fracture. Considering biological activities of various phytochemicals extracted from apples, we herein demonstrated the potential antiosteoporotic effects of apple-derived nanovesicles (apple NVs) using osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Apple NVs significantly stimulated the growth of MC3T3-E1 cells. The cellular alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was significantly upregulated in the 5 μg/mL apple NVs-treated group. In addition, the concentrarion of mineralized nodules was significantly increased in the apple NVs-treated groups. Furthermore, apple NVs increased the expression of the genes and proteins associated with osteoblast growth and differentiation, such as Runx2, ALP, OPN, and BMP2/4, which further activated ERK- and JNK-related mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling. These results demonstrate that apple NVs have a potential to prevent osteoporosis by promoting osteoblastogenesis in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells through regulating the BMP2/Smad1 pathways.

Effect of Volatile Organic Chemicals in Chrysanthemum indicum Linné on Blood Pressure and Electroencephalogram. Molecules 2018; 23:molecules23082063. [PMID: 30126122 PMCID: PMC6222417 DOI: 10.3390/molecules23082063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2018] [Revised: 08/16/2018] [Accepted: 08/16/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This study identified the volatile organic compounds in the essential oils that are extracted from Chrysanthemum indicum Linné (C. indicum Linné) and investigated the effects of the inhalation of these compounds. We detected a total of 41 volatile organic compounds, including 32 hydrocarbons, four acids, three alcohols, two ketones, and one aldehyde. In a sniffing test, seven types of volatile organic compounds were identified. Furthermore, the volatile organic compounds in C. indicum Linné that were identified were found to be derived from 1,8-cineole and camphor. After inhalation of the essential oils, the subjects’ systolic blood pressure and heart rate decreased. This indicates that inhalation of the essential oils extracted from C. indicum Linné provides mental and physical relaxation. We examined the changes in electroencephalogram findings that are observed after C. indicum Linné essential oil inhalation. An increase in theta and alpha waves, which usually appear during relaxation, as well as a decrease in beta and gamma waves, which appear during brain activity such as excessive attention, were noted. These results indicate that C. indicum Linné essential oil inhalation helps to reduce blood pressure and may provide mental and physical relaxation.
