Dehydroepiandrosterone – Is the Fountain of Youth Drying Out?
Physiol. Res. 52: 397-407, 2003 MINIREVIEW Dehydroepiandrosterone – Is the Fountain of Youth Drying Out? P. CELEC 1,2, L. STÁRKA3 1Faculty of Medicine, 2Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia and 3Institute of Endocrinology, Prague, Czech Republic Received September 15, 2002 Accepted October 7, 2002 Summary Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulphate-bound form (DHEAS) are important steroids mainly of adrenal origin. Their physiological and pathophysiological functions are not yet fully identified, although a number of various possible features have been hypothesized. Most popular is the description of the “hormone of youth” as the long-term dynamics of DHEA levels are characterized by a sharp age-related decline in the late adulthood and later. Low levels of DHEA are, however, associated not only with the ageing process but also with diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and some neurological or immunological entities. In the past decade, a number of brief studies have concentrated on these relationships and also on the role of exogenous DHEA in health, disease and human well-being. This article tries to summarize some of the most important facts achieved recently. Key words Dehydroepiandrosterone • Intracrinology • Hormone replacement therapy • Steroids Introduction functions: 1) DHEA is an endogenous metabolite that cannot be patented so that pharmaceutical companies are In 1934 Butenandt and Dannenbaum isolated not interested in supporting research in this field. dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) from urine and in 1944 2) DHEA can be described as a “human molecule” Munson and colleagues identified its 3β-sulphate because other investigated species have much lower (DHEAS). Even now, nearly 70 years later, we still do concentrations. -

Design: The phytoestrogens daidzein and genistein were extracted from dried foods, and the two isoflavones quantified after hydrolytic removal of any conjugated carbohydrate. Completeness of extraction and any procedural losses of the isoflavones 0 0 were accounted for using synthetic daidzin (7-O-glucosyl-4 -hydroxyisoflavone) and genistin (7-O-glucosyl-4 5-dihydroxyiso- flavone) as internal standards. Setting: Foods from the Cambridge UK area were purchased, prepared for eating, which included cooking if necessary, and freeze dried. Three stock soy flours were also analysed. Results: Eighteen of the foods assayed contained trace or no detectable daidzein or genistein. The soy flours were rich sources, containing 1639 – 2117 mg=kg. The concentration of the two isoflavones in the remaining foods ranged from 33 to 11 873 mg=kg. Conclusion: These analyses will supply useful information to investigators determining the intake of phytoestrogens in cereal products in order to relate intakes to potential biological activities.

Medicinal Properties of Selected Asparagus Species: a Review Polo-Ma-Abiele Hildah Mfengwana and Samson Sitheni Mashele
Chapter Medicinal Properties of Selected Asparagus Species: A Review Polo-Ma-Abiele Hildah Mfengwana and Samson Sitheni Mashele Abstract Asparagus species are naturally distributed along Asia, Africa, and Europe and are known to have numerous biological properties. This review article was aimed to provide an organized summary of current studies on the traditional uses, phy- tochemistry, and pharmacological and toxicological studies of Asparagus laricinus Burch., Asparagus africanus Lam., Asparagus officinalis L., Asparagus racemosus Willd., and Asparagus densiflorus (Kunth) Jessop to attain and establish new insights for further researches. Information used in this review was obtained from electronic database including PubMed central, Google scholars, Science direct, Scopus, and Sabinet. Based on the present findings, the existing literature still presents some breaches about the mechanism of action of various constituents of these plants, and their relation to other plant compounds in poly-herbal formulations, as well as their long-term use and safety. More in-depth studies are still needed for active compounds and biological activities of Asparagus laricinus, Asparagus africanus, and Asparagus densiflorus. Therefore, innumerable opportunities and possibilities for investigation are still available in novel areas of these plants for future research stud¬ies. It can be concluded that all selected Asparagus species have tremendous potential to improve human health and the pharmacological activities of these plants can be attributed to bioactive phytochemicals they possess. Keywords: Asparagaceae, Asparagus africanus lam., Asparagus densiflorus (kunth) Jessop, Asparagus laricinus Burch., Asparagus officinalis L., Asparagus racemosus Willd., pharmacological actions, phytochemistry 1. Introduction Historically, plants were used for numerous purposes for mankind in general, inter alia, feeding and catering, culinary spices, medicine, various forms of cosmetics, symbols in worship and for a variety of ornamental goods. -

DC were studied for their lignan and flavonoids in solvent chloroform and n-butanol of ethanolic extract. Isolation and identification of phenolic compounds of the chloroform and n-butanol fractions were performed with Dionex HPLC-DAD system with water-methanol gradients in 4 different wave lengths (235 nm, 254 nm, 280 nm and 340 nm), using online UV and LC-MS as described previously. 9-OH-pinoresinol which is a lignan with anticancer activity was dominated in the chloroform fraction, whereas mainly flavonoid glycosides like quercetin-3-O-galactoside, apigenin-7-O-rhamnoside with anti-inflammatory effect were detected in the n-butanol fraction. Additionally, 9-OH-pinoresinol was also found in the n-butanol fraction. Anticancer tests were conducted in leukemia mouse lymphoma cells L5178Y at a concentration of 10 μg/ml of test compound. Crude ethanol extract of S. salicifolia reduced the growth of leukemia mouse lymphoma cells L5178Y to 23.8%.

In the present study, capillary zone electrophoresis (CE) was applied for the separation and quantification of three isoflavones including daidzein, genistein and formononetin in coffee. Extraction of isoflavones from the coffee sample was carried out by extraction and purification process using ether after the acid hydrolysis with the antioxidant butylated hydroxy-toluene (BHT). The experimental conditions of the CE separation method were: 20 mmol/L Na2HPO4 buffer solution, 25 kV applied voltage, 3 s hydrodynamic injection at 30 mbar, and UV detection at 254 nm. The results show that the three compounds can be tested within 10 min with a linearity of 0.5–50 µg/mL for all three compounds. The limits of detection were 0.0642, 0.134, and 0.0825 µg/mL for daidzein, formononetin and genistein, respectively. The corresponding average recovery was 99.39% (Relative Standard Detection (RSD) = 1.76%), 98.71% (RSD = 2.11%) and 97.37% (RSD = 3.74%).
