Psychiatry related information on Juniperus

 

High impact information on Juniperus

  • Crystal structure of Jun a 1, the major cedar pollen allergen from Juniperus ashei, reveals a parallel beta-helical core [6].
  • A recent study reported that protein synthesis was inhibited in rat livers perfused with medium containing vasopressin (Chin, K. -V., Cade, C., Brostrom, M. A., and Brostrom, C. O. (1988) Int. J. Biochem. 20, 1313-1319) [7].
  • Mountain cedar (MC) (Juniperus ashei) causes a significant and isolated seasonal allergic rhinitis in south-central Texas during the winter months [8].
  • The report of the effectiveness of lithium in the treatment of mania by John Cade was followed by a number of studies confirming his observations and developing guidelines for safe and effective use [9].
  • IgE from the sera of patients with hypersensitivity to cedar pollen bound to eastern red cedar proteins of four different sizes [10].
 

Biological context of Juniperus

 

Associations of Juniperus with chemical compounds

  • Recently, we demonstrated that alpha-eudesmol from Juniperus virginiana Linn [12].
  • Inhibitory activity of Juniperus communis on 12(S)-HETE production in human platelets [13].
  • This work studies the hypoglycemic activity of a decoction from juniper "berries" (Juniperus communis) both in normoglycemic and in streptozotocin-diabetic animals [14].
  • Inorganic/organic hybrid adsorbents for removing orthophosphate from water were prepared by lanthanum (La) treatment of bark fiber, a lignocellulosic material obtained from juniper (Juniperus monosperma) [15].
  • Analytical approaches to the determination of simple biophenols in forest trees such as Acer (maple), Betula (birch), Coniferus, Eucalyptus, Juniperus (cedar), Picea (spruce) and Quercus (oak) [16].
 

Gene context of Juniperus

  • The composition of the essential oil from ripe and unripe berries and leaves of Juniperus oxycedrus L. ssp. oxycedrus, Juniperus phoenicea ssp. turbinata and Juniperus communis ssp. communis was analyzed by GC-MS, and microbiological assays were carried out [2].
  • An assessment of predictive forecasting of Juniperus ashei pollen movement in the Southern Great Plains, USA [17].
  • The antioxidant activity of Juniperus chinensis (Cupressaceae) was determined by measuring the radical scavenging effect on DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) [18].
  • High pollen concentrations of Parietaria officinalis dominated during the year (up to 20% from April to June) followed by the pollens of Pistacia lentiscus, Olea europaea, Pinus halepensis, Juniperus oxycedrus, Acacia baileyana, Artemisia vulgaris, Ambrosia elatior and Cistus monspeliensis [19].
