Freeze-dried powder of daylily bud improves bromocriptine-induced lactation disorder in rats via JAK2/STAT5 pathway

Nutrient composition and functional constituents of daylily from different producing areas based on widely targeted metabolomics

“…A total of 1642 metabolites were identified in daylily ( Table S4 ), including 5.79 % alkaloids, 24.85 % amino acids and derivatives, 0.49 % benzene and substituted derivatives, 17.48 % flavonoids, 2.92 % lignans and coumarins, 11.57 % lipids, 4.93 % nucleotides and derivatives, 6.21 % organic acids, 9.14 % others, 12.91 %phenolic acids, 2.01 % quinones, 0.12 % steroids, 0.06 % tannins and 1.52 % terpenoids ( Fig. 2 A), more than in a previous study where 641 and 648 compounds were found in freeze-dried and oven-dried daylily, respectively ( Guo et al, 2023 ). This study identified 408 amino acids and their derivatives, the highest proportion of metabolites.…”

“…Therefore, the enrichment of flavonoids helps daylily to exert physiological functions and enhance flavor. Also, flavonoids are responsible for the antidepressant, sleep-improving, and lactation-promoting effects of daylily ( Guo et al, 2023 , Liang et al, 2023 ). Although the TFC in YQ was lower than that in DT, the content of flavonoid metabolites enriched in the KEGG metabolic pathway was higher than that in DT.…”

“…Rutin, one of the primary active compounds in the water extract of daylily, showed significant antidepressant activity. Furthermore, our previous study found that daylily buds can ameliorate the insufficient lactation of rats, and the active components promoting lactation may be flavonoids and phenols ( Guo et al, 2023 ). Therefore, the daylily has received widespread attention due to its rich nutritional functions, and many regions (i.e., Linfen (LF), Lvliang (LL), and Yangquan (YQ)) in Shanxi Province have also introduced daylily in DT for cultivation.…”

The Effect of Replacing Whole-Plant Corn Silage with Daylily on the Growth Performance, Slaughtering Performance, Muscle Amino Acid Composition, and Blood Composition of Tan Sheep

“…Daylily contains various bioactive components, among which flavonoids and phenols are considered the active ingredients [6]. Flavonoids have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anticancer properties [28].…”

“…Young daylily stem contains abundant nutrients such as proteins, vitamin C, calcium, fats, carotene, amino acids, and other necessary nutrients beneficial for human health. Daylily is a healthy food with low fat and high protein content, and it is rich in minerals, flavonoids, and phenols, which are considered as active ingredients of daylily [6,7]. Daylily has several important medicinal properties, such as achieving hemostasis and anti-inflammatory effects, clearing heat, removing dampness, helping digestion, improving eyesight, and smoothing the nerves, and it can be used as a postpartum supplement [8].…”
