Organ‐Specific Phytochemical Composition and Bioactivity Profiling of Chaerophyllum aksekiense: A Multiassay Antioxidant, Enzyme Inhibition, and Correlation‐Based Evaluation

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study reveals the organ‐specific phytochemical specialization of the endemic Chaerophyllum aksekiense for the first time. Although leaves exhibit the highest phenolic content and antioxidant capacity, flowers stand out with flavonoid accumulation, and roots demonstrate potent enzyme inhibition.

High cholesterol absorption efficiency interferes with bile acid metabolism and cholesterol elimination from the body

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 5, Page 628-638, May 2026.
Abstract Background Elevated low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol causes atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Variables of whole‐body cholesterol metabolism, for example, high cholesterol absorption efficiency, might also be atherogenic, whereas the role of bile acids is controversial.
