Antioxidant Activity and Inhibition of Carbohydrate Hydrolyzing Enzymes by Underutilized Parts From Some Plant‐Based Foods and Their Effect on Postprandial Hyperglycemia

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The underutilized parts viz: pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels showed promising antioxidant and inhibition of α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase activities (IC50 values ≤ 100 μg/mL). Similarly, pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels reduced postprandial hyperglycemia in sucrose‐ and maltose‐induced hyperglycemia in rats.

Hypolipidemic and Antioxidant Activities of Leptadenia hastata (Perse) Decne. Leaf and Syzygium aromaticum L. Bud Combination: In Vivo, In Vitro, and In Silico Evaluation

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Combination of the Leptadenia hastata leaf and the Syzygium aromaticum bud demonstrated hypolipidemic and antioxidant activities in a hyperlipidemic rat model. Combination of the two plants inhibited HMG‐CoA reductase activity, and the docking analysis revealed interacted well and formed binding complexes within the binding pocket of the enzyme ...

Aloe vera Tannin Ameliorates Fructose‐Induced Dyslipidaemia and Oxidative Stress in Wistar Rats

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Aloe vera tannin (AVT) significantly enhances liver reduced glutathione and superoxide dismutase activities in rats. Fructose consumption creates dyslipidaemia in rats by significantly increasing serum cholesterol and LDL levels. AVT prevented fructose‐induced dyslipidaemia in rats by controlling the lipid profile. AVT did not affect liver, hippocampus

Functional Bread From Bambara Groundnut and Orange Peel Attenuates Hyperglycemia and Oxidative Stress in a High‐Fat Diet/Streptozotocin‐Induced Type 2 Diabetes Rat Model

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
This study evaluated Bambara groundnut–wheat composite bread fortified with orange peel in diabetic rats. Diets significantly lowered blood glucose, inhibited α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase, and boosted antioxidant enzymes compared to controls. Results emphasize BG‐based functional foods' potential to help manage type 2 diabetes through regulation of ...

Early matrine intervention of gut microbiota for type 2 diabetes prevention

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
How matrine influences gut microbiota imbalance to prevent the progression of diabetes remains unclear. We conduct experiments using mice to simulate the stages of diabetes development and matrine intervention. Combined with amplicon sequencing, we find that the gut microbiota of diabetic mice continuously changes with the progression of the disease ...
