Seabuckthorn is a natural medicinal and edible plant with strong vitality. Due to the long-term harsh and changeable ecological changes, the active ingredients in seabuckthorn fruit have reached more than 200 kinds. Seabuckthorn fruit contains wealthy active nutrients, which allows it to fight health risks. Today, let's analyze in detail what active nutrients are in seabuckthorn [...]
The main effects of sea buckthorn oil include protecting the heart, protecting the liver, protecting the nervous system, protecting the respiratory system, preventing and improving cancer, reducing inflammation, accelerating wound healing, whitening the skin, strengthening the spleen and stomach, protecting the endocrine system, preventing and treating cerebrovascular diseases, and protecting the blood circulation system. Anti-inflammatory and [...]
Palmitoleic acid (C16:1) is a monounsaturated fatty acid composed of 16 carbon atoms and 1 double bond. It is a typical ω-7 fatty acid. Other ω-7 fatty acids in the same category include vaccenic acid (11-C18:1) and C20:1, C22:1 ω-7 isomers. Palmitoleic acid and other ω-7 fatty acids are distributed in most animals and plants, but [...]
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In contrast, the 5-year relative survival rate for all stages of lung cancer is approximately 21%, with the major histological subtype being non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The gold standard for NSCLC treatment remains the cisplatin-based chemotherapy regimen. However, prolonged use of chemotherapeutic agents might increase toxicities [...]
Hippophae rhamnoides, also known as sea buckthorn, is a good plant, as it is a rich source of valuable bioactive components. Several studies have investigated its broad biological properties, and its uses range from the medical and cosmetic fields to the industrial food sector. The whole plant is rich in bioactive antioxidant and immunomodulating compounds, and hippophae rhamnoides berries, leaves, [...]
Obesity is the accumulation of excess fatty tissue, accompanying the increase of body weight and fat deposition in the liver, causing corresponding metabolism dysfunction. Evidence showed that consuming foods rich in bioactive compounds, such as fruits and vegetables, could benefit anti-obesity and obesity-association metabolism diseases. Our study showed that daily supplementation with seabuckthorn freeze-dried powder at [...]
We comprehensively analyze the effect of sea buckthorn (Hippophaes rhamnoides) on glucose homeostasis on central regulatory steps of postprandial glucose metabolism. Various biological models were utilized as complementary systems, including human cell lines, non‐vertebrate organisms, and the chick embryo model. Sea buckthorn is a rich source of biologically active compounds that benefit human health. In particular, [...]
Effect of sea buckthorn oil on 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes proliferation Cytotoxicity is one key indicator in evaluating the effects of a particular chemical compound on a given cell line. In our study, the Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay was employed to determine the cytotoxicity of sea buckthorn oil on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The addition of sea buckthorn oil at [...]
As the major components of the outer skin layer are lipids, we can infer that using lipid derivatives will enhance skin conditions. Therefore, plant oils can be used as a source of compounds that may protect skin cells due to their multidirectional activities, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidants, as well as the source of fatty acids.
