Epidermal growth factor from deer (Cervus elaphus) submaxillary gland and velvet antler
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1986Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like activity was isolated for the first time from the submaxillary gland (SMG) and the velvet antler of red deer (Cervus elaphus) by a combination of Sephadex gel or DEAE-Sephacel and IMAC columns in succession. The semipurified cervine EGF-like activity (cEGF), with specific activity of 4.7 ng/micrograms protein from the

Ionic liquid-based method for direct proteome characterization of velvet antler cartilage
Talanta, 2016The cartilage zone of the velvet antler is richly vascularized, this being a major difference to the classical cartilage, in which there are no blood vessels. Angiogenesis and rapid growth of vasculature in velvet antler cartilage (VAC) make it an ideal model for discovering the novel angiogenic regulatory factors.

In vitro antioxidant analysis and characterisation of antler velvet extract
Food Chemistry, 2009The chemical composition and antioxidant properties of antler velvet extract prepared by supercritical CO2 extraction with co-solvent are presented in this study. The composition in different extracts was determined by radioimmunoassay analysis (RIA), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and thin layer chromatographic (TLC), separately.

Deer velvet antler: some unanswered questions on toxicology.
Veterinary and human toxicology, 1999Deer velvet antler is marketed as a remedy for a wide range of disorders. However, there is a lack of information in the scientific literature to support these claims, and there is also a lack of information on potential toxicity. Areas of potential concern include drug residues, possible deleterious androgenic effects on fetuses and neonates and ...

Antinarcotic effects of the velvet antler water extract on morphine in mice
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1999The present study was undertaken to investigate the antinarcotic effects of velvet antler water extract (VAWE) from Cervus elaphus on morphine. Morphine-induced analgesic action was measured by tail-flick method. Morphine-induced hyperactivity and reverse tolerance were evidenced by measuring the enhanced ambulatory activity using a tilting-type ...

Recent Advances in the Physiological Control of Velvet Antler Growth
1992Antlers are organs of bone which develop by a process of modified endochondral ossification, that is, bone is formed as a replacement of a cartilagenous matrix. The growth of the velvet antler, which is mainly cartilage/calcified cartilage, provides a framework for the antler, and as this growth is from the tip, we have mainly directed our studies to ...

Behavioural and heart rate responses to velvet antler removal in red deer
New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1992Heart rate and behaviour during and following velvet antler removal were monitored in yearling red deer stags to determine the extent to which this procedure was perceived by the deer to be aversive. Nine stags normally kept at pasture were habituated over 5 weeks to the following daily handling procedure. Each deer was fitted with a harness containing

[Effect of velvet antler polypeptide on peripheral nerve regeneration].
Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery, 2009To investigate the velvet antler polypeptide (VAP) on sciatic nerve regeneration in rats through local administration and VAP-PLGA compound membrane.The 3, 15 mg/g of VAP-PLGA compound membrane were prepared by compounding VAP and PLGA, respectively. Seventy-two Wistar rats, male or female, aged 3-6 months and weighing (250 +/- 50) g, were selected to ...

The contribution of deer velvet antler research to the modern biological medicine
Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine, 2014Deer velvet antler is the only mammal organ which can continuous regenerate. Currently, international scholars are interested in antler that is defined as a perfect regeneration model of neuro, blood vessel, connective tissue, cartilage, and bones. In 1986, we started to study the separation of active protein and peptide of fresh velvet antler using ...

Genetic analysis of velvet antler yield in farmed elk (Cervus elaphus)
Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1999Data from the Alberta Agriculture Food and Rural Development data base, which keeps inventories of elk producers and velvet production information (n = 12 724), were used to estimate genetic and phenotypic variances, heritability and repeatability estimates for velvet antler using REML methods.
