Physiological and Biochemical Responses to Salt Stress of Alfalfa Populations Selected for Salinity Tolerance and Grown in Symbiosis with Salt-Tolerant Rhizobium

Agronomy, 2020
Alfalfa and its rhizobial symbiont are sensitive to salinity. We compared the physiological responses of alfalfa populations inoculated with a salt-tolerant rhizobium strain, exposed to five NaCl concentrations (0, 20, 40, 80, or 160 mM NaCl).

D-Pinitol Attenuated Ovalbumin-induced Allergic Rhinitis in Experimental Mice Via Balancing Th1/Th2 Response

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2021
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a complex, chronic immunoinflammatory disorder of the membrane lining of the nasal mucosa. D-Pinitol is considered as a cyclic polyol with a potential effect against various allergies. In the present study, we evaluated the anti-

Preventing Adipogenesis and Preserving Mitochondria and GLUT-4 Functions by Extracts and Isolated Compounds of Australian Acacia saligna

Molecules, 2023
Acacia saligna’s secondary metabolites show promise in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus and its related conditions. We previously discovered that methanolic extracts, isolated flavonoids, and cyclitols effectively preserve mitochondria in 3T3-L1 ...

Single-Dose Pinitol Ingestion Suppresses Post-Prandial Glucose Levels: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover Trial

Natural Product Communications, 2019
Limited studies have demonstrated that chronic consumption of pinitol improved glucose tolerance, and single-dose ingestion (0.6 g) 60 minutes prior to meals suppressed postprandial glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

(+)-Pinitol as a major soluble carbohydrate in soybean plant [PDF]

Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 1982
Abstract A large number of investigations have been carried out on the carbohydrates of legumes (1, 2), but only a few on the functions of individual carbohydrates. For studies on the symbiotic nitrogen fixation system of leguminous plants, it would be very important to determine the role of carbohydrates as energy suppliers in the nodules. We analyzed
