Disease relevance of Equisetum

• Seborrhoeic dermatitis induced by nicotine of horsetails (Equisetum arvense L.) [1].

High impact information on Equisetum

• A structural basis of Equisetum arvense ferredoxin isoform II producing an alternative electron transfer with ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase [2].
• The rap1 mutant is severely defective in telomere length control, TPE, and telomere clustering toward the spindle pole body (SPB) at the premeiotic horsetail stage, indicating that spRap1 has critical roles in these telomere functions [3].
• Mitochondria were prepared from the staghorn fern Platycerium bifurcatum, from the horsetail Equisetum arvense, and from the colorless algae Polytomella, and cytochrome c reductase complexes were purified by a micro-isolation procedure based on Blue-native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electroelution [4].
• Analysis of the ferredoxin of the primitive vascular plant Equisetum indicates that the cysteine residue normally found at position 18 of plant-type ferredoxins is replaced by a valine, although the spectroscopic properties of the ferredoxins are unaffected [5].
• Structure of [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin I from Equisetum arvense at 1.8 A resolution [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Equisetum

• However, a cholesterol diet with Equisetum arvense L. at 4% caused dermatitis at the neck, head and back in about 20-65% of the rats [7].

Associations of Equisetum with chemical compounds

• Cortex cells of Equisetum hyemale are broken open while still in buffer, after initially being attached to poly-L-lysine-coated grids [8].
• There were no apparent effects on serum or liver lipids in the rats fed Equisetum arvense L. irrespective of dietary cholesterol [7].
• Hypoglycemic effect of Equisetum myriochaetum aerial parts on streptozotocin diabetic rats [9].
• Use of imazapyr against Equisetum arvense on Swedish railway tracks [10].
• Sulphur, sodium bicarbonate (alone or in mixture with pinolene, mineral oil or sulphur), sodium silicate in mixture with mineral oil, potassium permanganate, lecithin, Equisetum arvense in mixture with Timus vulgaris, Ampelomyces quisqualis and Reynoutria sachalinensis were evaluated [11].

Gene context of Equisetum

• Characterisation of polyphenols by HPLC-PAD-ESI/MS and antioxidant activity in Equisetum telmateia [12].
