Solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometric analysis of saponins in a Chinese patent medicine of formulated Salvia miltiorrhizae and Panax notoginseng.
Haijiang Zhang,Yiyu Cheng +1 more
TL;DR: Through solid-phase extraction process, the saponins in "Danshen Dripping Pill" were separated from the phenolic constituents of S. miltiorrhizae and, meanwhile, efficiently concentrated and characterized by HPLC/ESI-MS(n) analysis.

Ginsenoside Rb2 Alleviates Obesity by Activation of Brown Fat and Induction of Browning of White Fat.
TL;DR: Overall, the present study revealed that Rb2 activated brown fat and induced browning of white fat, which increased energy expenditure and thermogenesis, and consequently ameliorated obesity and metabolic disorders.

The role of protein kinase C in cell surface signal transduction and tumour promotion
TL;DR: Protein kinase C probably serves as a receptor for the tumour promoters and further exploration of the roles of this enzyme may provide clues for understanding the mechanism of cell growth and differentiation.

G1 phase progression: Cycling on cue
TL;DR: Phosphorylation of ~40~‘~’ by Clnl,Cln2-Cdc28 might trigger its ubiquitin- mediated degradation, thereby enabling the Cln-regulated kinases to control S phase entry indirectly.
