IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 12920: Inhibition of LPS-Induced Microglial Activation by the Ethyl Acetate Extract of Pueraria mirifica
This study aimed to explore the anti-inflammatory effect of the ethyl acetate extract of Pueraria mirifica on microglial activation. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation was used as a model to investigate the effects of P. mirifica on HAPI (highly aggressive proliferating immortalized), a rat microglial cell line. Administration of ethyl acetate extract from the tuberous roots of P. mirifica to HAPI cells dose-dependently reduced NO production and iNOS expression induced by LPS. Attenuation of IRF-1 (interferon regulatory factor-1) induction, one of the transcription factors governing iNOS expression, suggested th...

Comparison of neuroprotective effects of dihydrotestosterone, 17 β-estradiol, and Pueraria mirifica herb extract on cognitive impairment in androgen deficient male rats
In conclusion, DHT showed a stronger efficacy for mitigation of the impaired spatial learning behavior and memory capacity in androgen-deficient male rats compared to E2 and PME, and their mechanisms of action are slightly different.PMID:35609404 | DOI:10.1016/j.yhbeh.2022.105198 (Source: Hormones and Behavior)

Recognition and Prevalence of "Designated Ingredient, etc." in Health Foods
In conclusion, the recognition of "designated ingredient, etc." is insufficient. To avoid adverse events associated with "food containing designated ingredient, etc.," detailed information should be provided.PMID:35264518 | DOI:10.3358/shokueishi.63.20 (Source: Shokuhin eiseigaku zasshi.
