picture info	Flavonolignan Flavonolignans are natural phenols composed of a part flavonoid and a part phenylpropane. Examples Flavonolignans identified in ''Silybum marianum'' (milk thistle) silymarin complex include silibinin, silychristin, silydianin, dehydrosilybin, deoxysilycistin, deoxysilydianin, silandrin, silybinome, silyhermin and neosilyhermin and can be produced in vitro. Silibinin is found in the roots of S. marianum while silyamandin can be found in the fruit. Hydnocarpin can be found naturally in '' Onopordon corymbosum'' and can be synthesised. Scutellaprostin A, B, C, D, E and F can be isolated from '' Scutellaria prostrata'' and can also be synthesized. Hydnowightin can be isolated from '' Hydnocarpus wightiana'' seeds. Three flavonolignans derived from the flavone tricin have been isolated from the herb ''Avena sativa''. Palstatin has been isolated from the Amazon tree '' Hymeneae palustris''. Salcolin A and salcolin B can be found in '' Salsola collina''. Rhodiol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Catuaba The name Catuaba ( , via Portuguese from Guarani) is used for the infusions of the bark of a number of trees native to Brazil. The most widely used barks are derived from the trees ''Trichilia catigua'' and '' Erythroxylum vaccinifolium''. Other catuaba preparations use the bark of trees from the following genera or families: '' Anemopaegma'', ''Ilex'', ''Micropholis'', ''Phyllanthus'', '' Secondatia'', ''Tetragastris'' and species from the Myrtaceae. It is often claimed that catuaba is derived from the tree ''Erythroxylum catuaba'', but this tree has been described only once, in 1904, and it is not known today to what tree this name referred. ''E. catuaba'' is therefore not a recognised species (Kletter et al.; 2004). Local synonyms are Chuchuhuasha, Tatuaba, Pau de Reposta, Piratancara and Caramuru. A commercial liquid preparation, Catuama, contains multiple ingredients, one of these being catuaba from ''Trichilia catigua''. An infusion of the bark is used in traditional Bra ...

picture info	Eriobotrya Japonica The loquat (''Eriobotrya japonica'') is a large evergreen shrub or tree, grown commercially for its orange fruit and for its leaves, which are used to make herbal tea. It is also cultivated as an ornamental plant. The loquat is in the family Rosaceae, and is native to the cooler hill regions of south-central China. In Japan the loquat is known as biwa (枇杷, びわ) and has been grown for over 1,000 years. The loquat has been introduced to regions with subtropical to mild temperate climates throughout the world. ''Eriobotrya japonica'' was formerly thought to be closely related to the genus ''Mespilus'', and is still sometimes mistakenly known as the Japanese medlar. It is also known as Japanese plum and Chinese plum, as well as pipa in China, naspli in Malta, Lukaat in India, Lucat in Sri Lanka, níspero in Spain, nêspera in Portugal, shések in Israel, akidéné in Lebanon, Ebirangweti in Kisii and nespolo in Italy (where the name is shared with ''Mespilus germanica'') ...

picture info	Diabetes Mellitus Diabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by a high blood sugar level ( hyperglycemia) over a prolonged period of time. Symptoms often include frequent urination, increased thirst and increased appetite. If left untreated, diabetes can cause many health complications. Acute complications can include diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, or death. Serious long-term complications include cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, foot ulcers, damage to the nerves, damage to the eyes, and cognitive impairment. Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin, or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced. Insulin is a hormone which is responsible for helping glucose from food get into cells to be used for energy. There are three main types of diabetes mellitus: * Type 1 diabetes results from failure of the pancreas to produce enough insulin due to lo ...
