Biomed Res Int. 2022 Jun 29;2022:7337261. doi: 10.1155/2022/7337261. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTTriticum aestivum (Family: Poaceae), Ocimum sanctum (Family: Lamiaceae), and Tinospora cordifolia (Family: Menispermaceae) are commonly known as wheatgrass, tulsi, and giloy, respectively, which are the plants used as medicines for the treatment of various diseases. All three medicinal plants possess phenolic compounds with other important chemical constituents such as polysaccharides, aliphatic compounds, and alkaloids. The extract of these plants has been prepared and investigated for antioxidant, total phenolic content, total f...

Multi-residue Analysis, Probabilistic Dietary Risk Assessment of 241 Pesticides in Wheatgrass (Triticum sp.) using LC-MS/MS in Combination with QuEChERS Extraction
Biomed Chromatogr. 2022 May 18. doi: 10.1002/bmc.5411. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWheatgrass is consumed as an important nutritious herbal food supplement across the globe; however, limited studies have been reported on analysis of multi-class pesticides in this complex nutrient rich natural product. An analytical method was developed for the estimation of 241 pesticides in random Wheatgrass samples collected from Delhi-Northern Capital Region (Delhi-NCR). Extraction was performed by QuEChERS, cleaning was performed by dispersive solid phase and the extracts were analyzed using Triple Quadrupole Liquid Chromatography Ma...

Screening of Salt-Tolerant Thinopyrum ponticum Under Two Coastal Region Salinity Stress Levels
To accelerate the exploitation and use of marginal soils and develop salt-tolerant forage germplasm suitable for the coastal regions of China, seven lines of decaploid tall wheatgrass [Thinopyrum ponticum (Podp.) Barkworth and D. R. Dewey, 2n = 10x = 70] were transplanted under low (.3%) and high (.5%) salt conditions for a comprehensive analysis at the adult-plant stage. Differences were observed among these materials, especially in terms of grass yield, agronomic characteristics, and physiological and biochemical indices. Line C2 grew best with the highest shoot total fresh and dry weights under all conditions except for...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 6752: Attenuative Effects of Fluoxetine and Triticum aestivum against Aluminum-Induced Alzheimer ’s Disease in Rats: The Possible Consequences on Hepatotoxicity and Nephrotoxicity
Conclusions: AlCl3 elevated liver and kidney enzymes, over-production of oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers. Besides, accumulation of tau protein and Aβ, the elevation of ACHE and GSK-3β, down-regulation of BDNF, and β–catenin expression in the brain. Histopathological examinations of the liver, kidney, and brain confirmed this toxicity, while treating AD groups with fluoxetine, wheatgrass, or a combination alleviates toxic insults. Conclusion: Fluoxetine and wheatgrass combination demonstrated a more significant neuroprotective impact in treating AD than fluoxetine alone and has protective effects on liver an...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 6336: Extract of Triticum aestivum Sprouts Suppresses Acetaminophen-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Mice by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress
Dae-Ki Kim
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the oldest known food crop, and many studies have reported that wheat shoots (i.e., wheatgrass) possess anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. However, the potentially ameliorative effect of wheat shoots on hepatotoxicity caused by high doses of N-acetyl-para-aminophenol (acetaminophen, APAP) has yet to be reported. C57BL/6 mice received daily oral TAE (100 or 200 mg/kg), positive control (silymarin 100 mg/kg), or negative control (saline vehicle) treatments for 7 days prior to intraperitoneal APAP injection. Histological, serum (ELISA), Western blottin...

Uncovering potential interspecies signaling factors in plant-derived mixed microbial culture
Bioorg Med Chem. 2021 Jun 4;42:116254. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2021.116254. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicrobes use signaling factors for intraspecies and interspecies communications. While many intraspecies signaling factors have been found and characterized, discovery of factors for interspecies communication is lagging behind. To facilitate the discovery of such factors, we explored the potential of a mixed microbial culture (MMC) derived from wheatgrass, in which heterogeneity of this microbial community might elicit signaling factors for interspecies communication. The stability of Wheatgrass MMC in terms of community s...
