Purple and red rice (Oryza sativa L.) bran polyphenols show antiobesity and antidiabetic activities

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Rice bran is a source of bioactive polyphenols. This study aimed to characterize the antidiabetic potential of different rice brans (one brown, two red, and two purple) by examining their ability to inhibit α‐amylase, α‐glucosidase, and pancreatic lipase, and to stimulate glucose uptake in adipocytes.

Anthocyanins: From Natural Colorants to Potent Anticancer Agents [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Anthocyanin bioavailability has a significant contribution to imposing therapeutic effects on abnormal cells. Anthocyanins hinder cell migration, invasion, and proliferation by inducing apoptosis, suppressing the cell cycle at G0/G1, S, or G2/M stages, and modulating oxidative stress and signaling pathways such as apoptotic cascades, PI3K/Akt, MAPK ...

Purple Yam Anthocyanin Forestalling Lipopolysaccharide‐Induced Intestine Damage by Selectively Promoting Lactococcus

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Lipopolysaccharide‐induced oxidative stress results in intestine injury. The prophylactic oral anthocyanin and its fecal bacteria suspension can ameliorate the damage through the Lactococcus and metabolites, which lead to modulation of antioxidant‐ and inflammation‐related signaling pathways such as NF‐κB and Nrf2/Keap1, which in turn improves ...
