Modulation of some markers of erectile dysfunction and malonaldehyde levels in isolated rat penile tissue with unripe and ripe plantain peels: identification of the constituents of the plants using HPLC

“…Hence, improving body antioxidant status could be helpful in combating oxidative damage, and one practical way is to improve/increase the consumption of phenolic-rich foods, as studies have shown in both in vitro and in vivo experimental models that the antioxidant property of plant foods is a function of their phenolics content (Shodehinde et al 2015;Adefegha et al 2015). Furthermore, the reducing power (ability to reduce Fe 3þ to Fe 2þ ) of the extracts is a function of their antioxidants capacity, which indicates their potential to prevent the production of oxidized intermediates of lipid peroxidation possibly via electron donation (Adefegha et al 2015).…”

Índice Glucémico in vitro, Contenido fenólico y Actividad Antioxidante de Snacks Elaborados con Harinas de Plátano (Musa paradisiaca) y Yacón (Smallanthus sonchifolius)

“…El uso de plátano verde, como ingrediente funcional ha atraído mucha atención debido a su alto contenido de almidón resistente (García-Solís et al, 2018), su efecto hipoglucémico reconocido tradicionalmente (Shodehinde et al, 2015), y su potencial nutricional y nutracéutico como fuente de compuestos antioxidantes (Agama-Acevedo et al, 2012). Por otra parte, las propiedades sensoriales del plátano son relevantes, siendo los snacks de plátano frito uno de los productos más vendidos en países tropicales; despertando el interés tecnológico para mejorar su perfil nutricional, mediante la implementación de nuevas tecnologías de proceso para disminuir el contenido graso, grado de rancidez (Chavez-Salazar et al, 2017;Ikegwu, O. J et al, 2018) y formación de acrilamida (Shamla y Nisha, 2017).…”

Poly herbal formulation with anti-elastase and anti-oxidant properties for skin anti-aging

“…Nyctanthes arbor-tristis (common name – night flowering jasmine) exhibits anti-inflammatory effect [ 31 ], anti-amoebic activity, anti-leishmanial activity, anti-viral activity [ 32 ], analgesic activity, anti-pyretic activity and ulcerogenic activity [ 33 ], anti-oxidant activity [ 34 , 35 ], hypoglycemic activity, and hypolipidemic activity [ 36 ] in vitro studies. Musa paradisiaca is one of the world’s leading food crop [ 37 ] and exhibits leishmanicidal activity [ 38 ], anti-oxidant activity [ 39 , 40 ], hepatoprotective activity [ 41 ], anti-diarrhoeal activity [ 42 ], anti-ulcerogenic activity [ 40 ], anti-hyperglycemic effect [ 43 ], and anti-coccidial activity [ 44 ]. However, studies have not been performed to determine the anti-aging and anti-carcinogenic effects of Aegle marmelos , Nyctanthes arbor-tristis and Musa paradisiaca .…”
