Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa Extract Prevents Muscle Atrophy and Insulin Resistance in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Rats via Regulating the Nrf2, NF-κB, and IRS-1/PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathways. [PDF]

Oxid Med Cell Longev
High‐fat diets (HFDs) are a key contributor to obesity and promote oxidative stress and inflammation, which are associated with muscle atrophy and insulin resistance (IR). Passiflora edulis exhibits anti‐obesity, antioxidant, and anti‐inflammatory effects. The study aimed to investigate the potential benefit of P. edulis f.

Revaluation of Granadilla (<i>Passiflora ligularis</i>): Analysis of Phenolic Compounds and Their Antioxidant Activity. [PDF]

Int J Food Sci
This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of solvents such as ethanol and methanol on the extraction of phenolic compounds with antioxidant capacity from granadilla (Passiflora ligularis). Extraction was assisted with ultrasound (40 kHz, 30°C). The sample‐to‐solvent ratio was 1:14, and extraction was performed separately for seeds and peels.

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...

Anthraquinones From Epicoccum sp., a Fungus Isolated From Gut of Dione juno That Feeds on Passifloras. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
An Epicoccum fungus was isolated from gut of larvae of the butterfly Dione juno juno that feeds intensively on leaves of Passifloras. This fungus produces hydroxyanthraquinones that moderately inhibits growth of some Bacillus that coexist with the fungus in the insect gut, suggesting that it is probably important for microbial embalance in gut flora ...
