Introduction To evaluate the effect of a lipid-based formulation containing unusual polyunsaturated fatty acids, trace elements, polyphenols and plant sterols on insulin resistance and its associated disturbances among adults at risk of diabetes. Methods This was an 8-week, three-arm, open-label ...
These include polyphenols (flavonoids, stilbenes), carotenoids, plant sterols and PUFAs. However, the constituents in plants that promote health through diet have proved difficult to identify with certainty and, because many are nonessential dietary constituents, it has also proven difficult to ...
MeOH extract showed the highest activity (89.05% at 50 µg/mL) due to rich polyphenols, notably flavonoids and phenolic acids (829.53 mg/g DE). EtAC extract had slightly lower activity (74.19% with 774.07 mg/g DE polyphenols) and Hex extract had the weakest activity (37.87% with 1.27 ...
Fig fruit contains a variety of healthy and beneficial bioactive ingredients, in addition to providing sugar and energy, fig fruit is also rich in dietary fiber and is considered a good source of minerals [1], sterols [2], carotenoids [3], anthocyanins [4], and polyphenols [5]. The ...
Malbec leaf tissues to ultraviolet-B radiation by enhancing ultraviolet-absorbing compounds, antioxidant enzymes and membrane sterols. Plant Cell Environ. 2010;33(1):1–10. CAS PubMed Google Scholar Li JY, Oulee TM, Raba R, Amundson RG, Last RL. Arabidopsis flavonoid mutants are hypersensitive...
food supplements, and synthesized medications (Hammer et al.1999). In addition, many secondary metabolites such as sterols, alkaloids, terpenes, flavonoids, tannins, and lactones are created or accumulated spontaneously by plants. Aside from financial benefits to local communities and forest users,.....
In general, plant-based nutrition refers to the predominant consumption of plant-based whole foods in order to obtain necessary macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fats), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), and bioactive compounds (flavonoids, plant sterols, polyphenols) with the goal to ...
The main secondary metabolites are classified into three groups: (i) phenolics (phenolic acids, lignin, coumarins, stilbenes, lignans, flavonoids and tannins); (ii) terpenes (carotenoids, plant volatiles, sterols and glycosides); and (iii) nitrogen-containing compounds (glucosinolates and alkaloids) ...
The non-volatile portion (5–10% of the whole EO) comprises hydrocarbons, fatty acids, sterols, carotenoids, waxes, cumarines, and flavonoids. The main antimicrobial compounds present in EOs can be divided into different groups: terpenes (e.g., p-cymene, limonene), terpenoids (e.g., ...
Our study suggests that, in terms of intake of substances with beneficial effects on CVD, such as polyphenols, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, individuals with low and high intakes of plant sterols do not differ. However, they do differ in their intake of foods considered pro- and anti-ather...
