Disease relevance of glycyrrhizin

 

Psychiatry related information on glycyrrhizin

  • Although the decrease in locomotor activity was partially blocked and adaptation to repetitive stress was enhanced in the rats given glycyrrhizic acid for 10 days, this was not seen in rats treated with glycyrrhizic acid for 4 or 9 weeks [5].
  • To clarify the dose-response and the time-response relationship between liquorice consumption and rise in blood pressure and explore the inter-individual variance this intervention study was designed and executed in research laboratories at University hospitals in Iceland and Sweden [6].
  • Since scopolamine-induced amnesia was reversed by liquorice, it is possible that the beneficial effect on learning and memory was due to facilitation of cholinergic-transmission in mouse brain [7].
  • Although she was apparently in remission from anorexia nervosa, the diet was found to be markedly abnormal with an excessive ingestion of liquorice and a low potassium salt intake [8].

Gene context of glycyrrhizin

  • Glycyrrhizic acid also inhibited both renal 11 beta HSD mRNA and activity and levels of Na,K-ATPase alpha 1/beta 1 mRNA [30].
  • Glycyrrhizin, one of the chemical constituents of hochu-ekki-to, reduced supernatant virus titers dose-dependently.Conclusion and implications:Hochu-ekki-to inhibited RV14 infection by decreasing ICAM-1 and by blocking entry of viral RNA into the cytoplasm from the endosomes, in airway epithelial cells [31].
  • Glycyrrhizin as a promoter of the late signal transduction for interleukin-2 production by splenic lymphocytes [32].
  • Reduction in UFE excretion is seen following liquorice ingestion and in both variants of AME, though it is more profound in AME1 [33].
  • Administration of glycyrrhizic acid in vivo (> 100 mg/kg for 4 days) resulted in inhibition of 11 beta-HSD1 mRNA and activity and a decrease in mRNA levels for the glucocorticoid-dependent enzyme, phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, whilst levels of the glucocorticoid-independent enzyme, tyrosine hydroxylase were unchanged [34].
