Medicinal Pasta Alleviates Oxidative Stress and Metabolic Complications in Diabetic Rats

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Composite ratio mixture of wheat, unripe plantain and moringa flours used to produce pasta modulated lipid profile, related glucose metabolic enzymes, and antioxidant in diabetic rats. ABSTRACT Medicinal plant‐based foods from natural sources with antioxidant properties, cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure reducing properties are rarely ...

The contribution of multiple barriers to reproduction between edaphically divergent lineages in the Amazonian tree Protium subserratum (Burseraceae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Disentangling the strength and importance of barriers to reproduction that arise between diverging lineages is central to our understanding of species origin and maintenance. To date, the vast majority of studies investigating the importance of different

Moonstruck by Herbaria

The American Biology Teacher, 2011
I have become fascinated by herbaria, collections of dried plant specimens. Like many new loves, this one began rather suddenly. Yes, I had known about them for years and had even been to a symposium on virtual herbaria, but I hardly ever gave them a thought.

Enriched biodiversity data as a resource and service [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Recent years have seen a surge in projects that produce large volumes of structured, machine-readable biodiversity data. To make these data amenable to processing by generic, open source “data enrichment” workflows, they are increasingly ...

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.

Assembling genetic structure of Gardenia remyi, a critically endangered tree endemic to the Hawaiian Islands

Conservation Science and Practice, 2023
Conservation and restoration planning of extremely rare species relies on an understanding of the genetic diversity and population dynamics within a species to overcome potential inbreeding depression. Nānū or Nāʻū (Gardenia remyi H. Mann.) is an endemic

Tropical component of the moss Flora of China [PDF]

, 1990
In many ways, it is presumptuous for me to speak on the mosses of the tropical regions of China. Many consider the knowledge about the taxonomy, ecology, and geography of tropical bryophytes inadequate (Pócs 1982; Schuster 1983; Richards 1984), and this ...

Incorporating molecular data in fungal systematics: a guide for aspiring researchers

, 2013
The last twenty years have witnessed molecular data emerge as a primary research instrument in most branches of mycology. Fungal systematics, taxonomy, and ecology have all seen tremendous progress and have undergone rapid, far-reaching changes as ...

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 ...
