This study investigates in vitro targets related to diabetes in 30 herbal extracts from Peru, for the first time, using α-glucosidase, aldose reductase (AR) inhibitory assays and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) scavenging assays. Among the 30 herbal extracts, Hypericum laricifolium Juss. (HL) was the herb which showed more t...

fruit and leaves of junipers are commonly used internally as tea and pounded fruits are eaten to lower blood glucose levels in anatolia. thus, we aimed to evaluate antidiabetic and antioxidant potential and the chemical profile of juniperus foetidissima willd. and j. sabina l. in this study. in-vitro antidiabetic activities of leaf and fruit extracts were examined by their inhibitory activity o...

This study focused on the anti-oxidative and collagenase- and elastase inhibition effects of low molecular weight peptides (LMP) from commercial Jeju horse leg bone hydrolysates (JHLB) on pancreatin, via enzymatic hydrolysis. Cell viability of dermal fibroblasts exposed to UVB radiation upon treatment with LMP from JHLB was evaluated. Determination of the antioxidant activity of various concent...

Introduction Nutritional content in citrus fruit is enormous. Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck underutilised crop that receives little attention due to the lack of knowledge regarding its nutritional value. waste disposal poses a problem economic and environmental factors. Methods The metabolites flavonoids, phenols antioxidant capacity dropped fruits species pomelo ( Osbeck) were examined. Results d...

Astilbin (5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-2,3-dihydroflavonol-3-ß-o-rhamnoside), a flavonoid with a large range of biological activities, was isolated from Dimorphandra mollis, a shrub common to the Brazilian Cerrado. The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of astilbin on myeloperoxidase (MPO) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP), and its antioxidant activity against hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and ...

Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.), belonging to the family Menispermaceae, is known to exhibit a wide array of pharmacological properties such as antiulcer, anti-inflammatory and antiarthritic properties. In the present study an attempt has been made to evaluate the antioxidant and glucose uptake potential of T. cordifolia leaves extract in vitro. Phytochemical analysis of the leaves extract reveal...

Oxidases are able to degrade organic pollutants; however, high costs associated with biocatalysts production still hinder their use in environmental biocatalysis. Our study compared the action of a commercial laccase from Aspergillus oryzae and a rich extract from Pleurotus ostreatus cultivation residues in decolourisation of reactive dyes: Drimaren Blue X-3LR (DMBLR), Drimaren Blue X-BLN (DMBB...
