How can you use “claw” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
We chose to evaluate cat's claw and green tea for several reasons.
Cells were treated with DPPH (3 μM), H 2 O 2 (50 μM), peroxynitrite (300 μM) and/or supplemented with 10 μg/ml of each antioxidant (cat's claw, green tea, ascorbic acid), and incubated for 6 h.
Altered intracellular redox balance with depletion of antioxidant reserves is associated with the activation of transcription factors like NF-κB, and genes (TNFα, IL-1β) associated with apoptosis, proliferation and inflammation [ 3 4 8 9 ] . Indeed, dietary antioxidants like resveratrol [ 20 ] , green tea [ 21 ] , cucumin [ 22 ] and cat's claw [ 23 24 ] have been shown to inhibit gene expression associated with inflammation and states of immune activation.
This response was attenuated by cat's claw or green tea (P < 0.05) but not ascorbic acid (Table 4).
Recently, both green tea and cat's claw have been reported to reduce the expression of inflammatory genes; responses that are linked to apoptosis and proliferation [ 23 24 25 26 27 ] . Indeed, cat's claw has been described as a potent inhibitor of the transcription factor NF-κB activation, preventing the expression of TNFα and inducible nitric oxide synthase [ 23 24 ] . These immune/inflammatory products are associated with gastritis and epithelial cell death [ 5 6 7 13 ] and hence cat's claw may have utility in limiting gut inflammation [ 23 ] . Indeed, this matches its ethnomedical use in South America where it is used to treat gastritis and other forms of chronic inflammation like arthritis [ 28 ] . Green tea, and its constituent polyphenols, has been associated with reduced expression of inflammatory genes and signal transduction processes leading to cell death [ 21 25 26 27 ] .
