Repeated Oral Administration of a Squeezed Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Extract Augmented the Serum Corticosterone Level and Had Anti-Inflammatory Properties

We investigated the ability of a ginger extract to induce an immune response in RAW 264 cells and after a repeated oral administration to mice. The squeezed ginger extract augmented the production of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 when added to RAW 264 cells. This extract was collected as its ethanol-insoluble fraction. The oral administration of the squeezed ginger extract or its ethanol-insoluble fraction once or twice to mice also augmented the tumor necrosis factor-α production in peritoneal cells; however, its long-term administration had the opposite effect. The serum corticosterone level had increased after orally administering the squeezed ginger extract and was maintained during the administration period. Oral administration of the squeezed ginger extract also inhibited arachidonic acid-induced ear edema, but its repeated administration was needed to achieve an anti-inflammatory effect. These results suggest that the repeated administration of the aqueous constituents of ginger augmented the serum corticosterone level and that this may have gradually induced anti-inflammatory activity.

Ginger and echinacea extracts improve the quality and fertility potential of frozen-thawed ram epididymal spermatozoa

The current study examined the impact of the supplementation of ginger and echinacea extract, as natural antioxidant agents, in freezing extender on the quality and fertility potential of ram epididymal spermatozoa after cryopreservation. Epididymal spermatozoa isolated from Forty testicles, obtained from 20 rams, with motility >80% and total morphological abnormalities <10% were pooled, divided into 7 aliquots and used for cryopreservation. The semen samples were re-suspended with basic Tris egg yolk diluent containing ginger and echinacea extracts (5, 10 and 20 mg/l). The control diluent comprised of only extender and lacked any antioxidant agent. For the determination of sperm quality, frozen straws were thawed after 7–10 days, and then the sperm characteristics were assessed. The supplementation of ginger at a concentration of 10 mg/l, as well as the addition of 10 and 20 mg/l echinacea extract significantly improved total motility and velocity parameters. The status of acrosome integrity and lipid peroxidation significantly improved in spermatozoa when supplemented with 10 mg/l ginger and 20 mg/l echinacea extract. Also, 5 mg/l ginger extract and 20 mg/l echinacea extract significantly improved mitochondrial activity. The highest ratio of the dispersion of sperm chromatin was observed in spermatozoa treated with 10 mg/l ginger extract. The cleavage rate was markedly higher in matured oocytes that were fertilized with frozen spermatozoa treated with 20 mg/l ginger extract and 10 mg/l echinacea. The application of ginger and echinacea extract resulted in improvement in the quality and fertility of frozen-thawed spermatozoa. However, future studies are wanted to elucidate how the active components in these extracts prevent cryo-damages in spermatozoa.

本文以生姜为材料,研究生姜不同部位（根茎、茎和叶）、不同浓度（10、20、40和80 g L-1）的水浸液对生姜幼苗根际土的微生物数量、土壤酶活性及土壤养分含量的影响,并通过HPLC定量分析了生姜各部位水浸液中所含酚酸类（香草酸、丁香酸、对羟基苯甲酸、香豆酸和阿魏酸）、香豆素类（伞花内脂和7-甲氧基香豆素）化合物的含量。结果表明：三种生姜水浸液对所测六种土壤酶活性均产生了不同程度的影响,其中影响最大的是酸性磷酸酶和蔗糖酶,在10 g L-1 时就达到了显著性差异水平,并且所有酶均有随着水浸液浓度的增加而呈增大的趋势;相同部位的水浸液随着浓度的增加,细菌和真菌的数量呈增加趋势,而放线菌的数量呈减少趋势;三种生姜水浸液均随着浓度的增加降低了土壤中有机质的含量,加剧了土壤中硝态氮含量的积累,根茎水浸液对土壤有效磷、速效钾和铵态氮均显示出低浓度提高其含量而高浓度降低其含量的趋势,而茎和叶水浸液则随着浓度的增加均降低了其含量。生姜水浸液中主要化感成分包括：根茎水浸液主要是丁香酸和伞花内脂;茎水浸液主要是阿魏酸,且其含量最高为73.4 ug/g;叶水浸液除了阿魏酸,其他六种物质均被检测出,但含量较高的主要有丁香酸、伞花内脂和香豆酸。     

Identification of difurocumenonol, a new antimicrobial compound from mango ginger (Curcuma amada Roxb.) rhizome

AIM: The aim of the present work was to purify and characterize potential natural antibacterial compound from mango ginger (Curcuma amada Roxb.) rhizome. METHODS AND RESULTS: The mango ginger rhizome powder was sequentially extracted and screened for antibacterial activity by agar well diffusion method and broth dilution method. Nonpolar extracts of mango ginger showed high antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria with low minimum inhibitory concentration (60-180 ppm). Among five extracts of mango ginger, the chloroform extract demonstrated highest antibacterial activity. Antibacterial activity-guided fractionation of the chloroform extract by repeated silica gel column chromatography yielded pure compound. The purified antibacterial compound was analysed by UV, IR, LC-MS and 2D-HMQCT NMR spectra and was identified as a difurocumenonol, a novel compound not reported previously. CONCLUSIONS: Mango ginger extracts and isolated difurocumenonol demonstrated high antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: A novel and natural antibacterial compound as well as mango ginger extracts can be used as food preservative to control the growth of food-borne pathogens and as a source of mango flavour.     

The use of ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) as a potential anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic agent

The effect of an aqueous extract of ginger (Zingiber officinale) on serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well as platelet thromboxane-B(2) and prostaglandin-E(2) production was examined. A raw aqueous extract of ginger was administered daily for a period of 4 weeks, either orally or intraperitoneally (IP) to rats. Fasting blood serum was investigated for thromboxane-B(2), prostaglandin-E(2), cholesterol and triglycerides. A low dose of ginger (50 mg/kg) administered either orally or IP did not produce any significant reduction in the serum thromboxane-B(2) levels when compared to saline-treated animals. However, ginger administered orally caused significant changes in the serum PGE(2) at this dose. High doses of ginger (500 mg/kg) were significantly effective in lowering serum PGE(2) when given either orally or IP. However, TXB(2) levels were significantly lower in rats given 500 mg/kg ginger orally but not IP. A significant reduction in serum cholesterol was observed when a higher dose of ginger (500 mg/kg) was administered. At a low dose of ginger (50 mg/kg), a significant reduction in the serum cholesterol was observed only when ginger was administered IP. No significant changes in serum triglyceride levels were observed upon administration of either the low or high dose of ginger. These results suggest that ginger could be used as an cholesterol-lowering, antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory agent.

Ginger Rogers? No, Ginger Ale and its invisible proteome

The trace proteome of a Ginger drink, stated to be produced with a ginger root extract, has been investigated via capture with combinatorial peptide ligand libraries (ProteoMiner). Although in traces, we could confirm the presence of five grape proteins and one apple protein, but not even the faintest trace of any ginger root proteins. The first two findings are correct, as the producer stated that this beverage had been reinforced with 12% grape juice and 6% apple juice, but the absence of even traces of ginger proteins does not permit the classification of this beverage as a ginger extract on a proteomics scale. However, organoleptic tasting has confirmed the presence of a ginger extract, due to its piquant and tongue-biting taste. Nevertheless, any ginger root extract must be considered as a minor component as compared to the presence of grape and apple juice. At the light of these findings, it is hoped that the competent authorities will in the future make compulsory the proper labelling also of beverages so that all amounts of compounds utilized will be clearly stated in the label, including the presumptive main component.     

Efficiency of ginger (Zingbar officinale) against Schistosoma mansoni infection during host–parasite association

The possible protective effect of ethanolic extract of ginger against infection with Schistosome mansonii was evaluated in mice. The extract was given daily for 45 days beginning at either 2nd day or 45 days post infection. Oral supplementation of ginger extract to infected animals was effective in reducing worm burden and the egg load in the liver and intestine which coincided with the reduction in granuloma diameters. Ginger extract had also the effect to offset liver fibrosis in response to S. mansoni infection indicated by reduced liver hydroxyproline level and serum alpha–fetoprotein (AFP). The extract reduces some inflammatory mediators that play a crucial role in schistosomal liver fibrosis and its complications. These include liver xanthine oxidase (XO); nitric oxide (NO); tumour necrosis factor–alpha (TNF-α); immunoglobins E, G, and M (Ig-E, Ig-G and Ig-M, respectively), and interleukin 4, 10 and 12 (IL-4, IL-10 and IL-12, respectively). Administration of ginger extract ameliorated the infection-induced alterations in serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alanine amintransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). It was concluded that oral administration of ginger extract to S. mansoni infected mice could minimize the deleterious effects of this parasite on the vital functions of infected animals.     

Ginger extract attenuates labetalol induced apoptosis,DNA damage,histological and ultrastructural changes in the heart of rat fetuses

Labetalol is a medication used to treat maternal hypertension during pregnancy. However, it is often associated with many side effects. Recently, several studies have been focused on the protective effect of medicinal plant extracts, such as ginger, against drugs inducing toxicity. Therefore, it has been hypothesized that ginger aqueous extraction can ameliorate labetalol-induced histological, ultrastructural changes, DNA damage, and apoptosis in fetal heart tissue. To achieve the aim of this study, sixty pregnant female albino rats were divided into 4 groups (15 each). Group I (Control). Group II received ginger (200 mg/kg). Group III received labetalol (300 mg/kg). Group IV received labetalol first followed by ginger. All groups were orally injected daily during the organogenesis phase of gestation i.e., from the 6th to the 15th day, and sacrificed at the 20th day of gestation. Results showed that labetalol-induced marked histological and ultrastructural alterations. Also, there was severe DNA damage and an increase in the apoptotic rates determined by Annexin-V/PI dual staining assay. Injection of the ginger aqueous extract caused evident improvement in cardiac tissue, DNA damage, and apoptotic rates. In conclusion, the results suggest that ginger extract could be a potential candidate agent for reducing labetalol-induced cardiotoxicity in the fetal heart of albino rats.
