Thymoquinone Attenuates Immune Mediated Liver Injury Induced by Concanavalin A in Mice
Autoimmune hepatitis is an inflammatory disease and its incidence has been increasing. The features of hepatitis are the release of inflammatory cytokines, the elevation of AST and ALT, and hepatocyte apoptosis and necrosis.

The carbon reactions of photosynthesis: role of lectins and glycoregulation
Modulation of glycoregulation in agriculture is reviewed here with emphasis on the elucidation of previously unknown pathways involving vacuolar lectins as well as a bypass of lectins that direct free sugars toward productivity.

Binding of acetylcholinesterases to concanavalin A [PDF]
Acetylcholinesterases from a number of different sources are known to be glycoproteins. Carbohydrate residues were found in the eel enzyme [ 1,2] , human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase [3 ] torpedo California [4] plaice cholinesterase [ 51 and the cholinesterases from human serum [6,7], horse serum [8,9] and human brain [lo]. It was of interest to us

Inhibitory effect of liposomal quercetin on acute hepatitis and hepatic fibrosis induced by concanavalin A [PDF]
Immune response plays an important role in the development of hepatic fibrosis. In the present study, we investigated the effects of quercetin on hepatitis and hepatic fibrosis induced by immunological mechanism.
