Phenolic compounds profile in extracts of Smilax spp., antioxidant activity, and inhibition of advanced glycation end products.

Smilax genus possesses bioactive properties attributed to phenolic compounds, which may exhibit antioxidant effects and inhibit the advanced glycation end products (AGEs). However, identifying these phenolic compounds and AGEs has become increasingly relevant to understanding such activities. This study aimed to identify phenolic compounds in extracts of Smilax spp.

Nanoparticle-Mediated Delivery of Flavonoids: Impact on Proinflammatory Cytokine Production: A Systematic Review.

Flavonoids are a diverse group of plant-derived compounds that have been shown to have various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory effects. However, their use in the treatment of inflammatory diseases has been limited due to their low bioavailability. The nanoparticle-mediated delivery of flavonoids has been proposed as a potential solution to this issue, as it allows the sustained release of the flavonoids over time.

Dehiscence and prolonged storage of 'Kerman' Pistachios: Effects on morphometry and nutraceutical value.

'Kerman' pistachios (KP; L.) are an important crop for several countries but their commercial value is diminished by their shell dehiscence status and prolonged storage in popular marketplaces. The aim was to evaluate the independent/synergistic effect of prolonged storage (1-4 year) and dehiscence status (split/unsplit) on KP's morphometry and chemical composition.

Double-blind randomised controlled trial of the independent and synergistic effect of with exercise (ISESE) on general fitness, lipid profile and redox status in overweight and obese subjects: study protocol.

Introduction: In order to reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors, a healthy diet must include dietary antioxidants from different sources (eg, ) and regular practice of exercise should be promoted. There is some evidence from animal studies that and exercise decrease cardiovascular disease risks factors. However, very few studies have proved the independent or synergistic effect of plus exercise in humans.

Inhibition of Urease by Disulfiram, an FDA-Approved Thiol Reagent Used in Humans.

Urease is a nickel-dependent amidohydrolase that catalyses the decomposition of urea into carbamate and ammonia, a reaction that constitutes an important source of nitrogen for bacteria, fungi and plants. It is recognized as a potential antimicrobial target with an impact on medicine, agriculture, and the environment. The list of possible urease inhibitors is continuously increasing, with a special interest in those that interact with and block the flexible active site flap.

[ADVANCES IN PHARMACOLOGICAL AND PHYTOCHEMICAL ADIPOGENESIS THERAPY].

The main function of the adipocyte is lipid storage when there is a positive energy balance and lipid release when there is and energy deficiency. One characteristic of obesity is an increase in the number and size of adipocytes, which implies pre adipocyte (PAD) differentiation. The adipose tissue (AT) has its origins in the prenatal stage and may continue to expand during adulthood from precursor cells since mature adipocytes cannot multiply by cell division.
