High impact information on Urticaceae

  • OBJECTIVE: To develop an immunochemical method to quantify the major Parietaria judaica allergen, Par j 1, as well as to verify the presence of Par j 1-like proteins in different Urticaceae pollens [1].
  • Parietaria, a plant belonging to the family of Urticaceae, is a major source of allergenic pollen in Europe. In the context of a multinational study, we investigated whether in allergic subjects antibody response towards Par o 1, the major allergen from P. officinalis, was associated with defined HLA-DRB1* alleles [2].
  • Antidiabetic and hypolipidaemic effects of a methanol/methylene-chloride extract of Laportea ovalifolia (Urticaceae), measured in rats with alloxan-induced diabetes [3].
  • The hypoglycemic activity of lectin isolated from Urtica pilulifera L. seeds (Urticaceae) was investigated in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats [4].
