Eupatilin, a pharmacologically active flavone derived from Artemisia plants, induces apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia cells.

TL;DR: Eupatilin-induced HL-60 cell apoptosis does not appear to be mediated via alteration in Bcl-2/Bax-2.

Increased Myeloproliferation in Glutathione S-Transferase π-deficient Mice Is Associated with a Deregulation of JNK and Janus Kinase/STAT Pathways

TL;DR: The increased activation of JNK and STATs in GSTπ-deficient mice provides a viable mechanism for the increased myeloproliferation in these animals, and confirms the important role that GSTπ plays in the regulation of cell signaling pathways in a myELoproliferative setting.

Co-induction of glutathione-S-transferases and multidrug resistance associated protein by xenobiotics in wheat.

TL;DR: This work establishes herbicide safeners as useful tools for the identification of genes encoding herbicide-metabolising enzymes by investigating the effects of the safener cloquintocetmexyl, which protects small-grain cereals against the graminicidal herbicide, clodinafop-propargyl.

Pancreatic α-amylase and lipase inhibitory activity of polyphenolic compounds present in the extract of black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa L.)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of chokeberry extract on the activity of porcine pancreatic α-amylase and lipase and found that methanolic and acetic chokeberry extracts exhibited the highest inhibitory activities against α-AMylase with the IC 50 values of 10.31−±−0.04% and pancreatic lipase 83.45−±0.50% respectively.

Rb2 inhibits α-glucosidase and regulates glucose metabolism by activating AMPK pathways in HepG2 cells

TL;DR: The enzyme kinetic studies revealed that, in the presence of the most potent α-glucosidase inhibitors, Rb2 and Rd, the Michaelis-Menton constant remained constant but the maximal velocity decreased, revealing a non-competitive type of inhibition.
