Aronia melanocarpa juice, a rich source of polyphenols, induces endothelium-dependent relaxations in porcine coronary arteries via the redox-sensitive activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase

Quality Characteristics and Antioxidant Activity of Sulgidduk Prepared by Addition of Aronia Powder (Aronia melanocarpa)

“…아로니아는 항산화 작용을 비롯하여 심혈관계 및 소화기 계 질환에 대해 높은 예방 및 치료 효과를 나타내는 것으로 알 려져 있으며, 암 예방, 항균 활성, 면역 증강, DNA 손상 억제 등 에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다 (7,10,11). 국내에는 아 로니아 재배가 활성화되지 않아 아직까지 지속적으로 생산되는 아로니아를 활용한 가공식품은 많지 없으나 해외에서는 아로니 아를 활용한 음료, 건조분말, 화장품 등이 출시되고 있으며 이들 제품의 기능성에 관련된 다수의 논문들이 보고되고 있다 (12)(13)(14)(15). 폴린-시모칼토페놀시약(Folin-Ciocalteu's phenol reagent), 1,1-다 이페닐-2-피크릴하이드라질(1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH), 갈산(gallic acid), 카테킨(catechin), 나이트로 블루 염화테트라졸륨 (nitro blue tetrazolium chloride, NBT), 니코틴 아마이드 아데닌 다이뉴클레오타이드(nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, NADH), 트 리스 염산(Tris-HCl), 파라메틸스타이렌(para-methyl styrene, PMS), 인산이수소소듐(sodium phosphate monobasic), 그리고 데오시-디- Aronia powder (1, 3 and 5%) was added based on the total weight of rice powder.…”

Comparison of in vitro anti-lipase and antioxidant activities, and composition of commercial chokeberry juices

“…Results of in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that chokeberry juice has cardioprotective [7,8], hepatoprotective [9], and anti-diabetic effects [1] as well as anticancer activity [10]. Recent human studies also showed that Aronia melanocarpa juice may be useful in the treatment of obesity disorders [11].…”

Immunomodulating Activity of Aronia melanocarpa Polyphenols

“…While some studies on the effect of anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins and extracts rich in these compounds have been published [10,11,12,13], the knowledge on aronia extract and pure substances from the plant in regard to effects on the human complement system and NO production in LPS-stimulated macrophages is scant [14,15]. Thus, the present study was undertaken to determine the complement-modulating activities and the inhibitory activities on NO production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophage cells of aronia polyphenols.…”
