Background: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to the body’s inability produce insulin or inaction of produced combination both. One antidiabetic therapeutic approach reduce gastrointestinal glucose production and absorption through inhibition carbohydrate digesting enzymes such as alpha-amylase well hemoglobin glycosylation.
 Objective: This study sets out...

species in Italy of which nine are endemic. Several Achillea species are used for their pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and fragrance properties. The extracts exhibit pharmacologic activities such as antiinflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. Achillea ligustica ALL., a member of the Achillea nobilis group, has been used as medicine mainly for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders ...

The aim of the present study was to compare the in vitro inhibitory effects on the salivary and pancreatic α-amylases and the in vivo hypoglycemic actions of the hydrolysable tannin from Chinese natural gall and the condensed tannin from Acacia mearnsii. The human salivary α-amylase was more strongly inhibited by the hydrolysable than by the condensed tannin, with the concentrations for 50% inh...

Objective(s):Ethnopharmacological field surveys demonstrated that many plants, such as Gentiana olivieri, Helichrysum graveolens, Helichrysum plicatum ssp. plicatum, Juniperus oxycedrus ssp. oxycedrus, Juniperus  communis var. saxatilis, Viscum album (ssp. album, ssp. austriacum), are used as traditional medicine for diabetes in different regions of Anatolia. The present study was designed to e...

Steeping milled sorghum in up to 0.4% NaOH was investigated as a method of tannin inactivation. NaOH steeping substantially reduced assayable total phenols and tannins in both Type III and Type II sorghums and with Type III sorghum caused a 60-80% reduction in α-amylase inhibition compared to a 20% reduction by water steeping. NaOH treatment also reduced starch liquefaction time and increased f...

It is believed that the inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes including α-amylase and α-glucosidase is one of the therapeutic approaches to decrease the postprandial glucose level after a meal, especially in the people with type 2 diabetes. Medicinal plants and their extracts are one of the main sources to find new inhibitors to the enzymes. In our study four flavonoids, namely luteoli...

BACKGROUND Indian medicinal plants used in the Ayurvedic traditional system to treat diabetes are a valuable source of novel anti-diabetic agents. Pancreatic α-amylase inhibitors offer an effective strategy to lower the levels of post-prandial hyperglycemia via control of starch breakdown. In this study, seventeen Indian medicinal plants with known hypoglycemic properties were subjected to sequ...

Medicinal plants have been conventionally used to sustain health and treat many diseases such as diabetes for years. Spinacia oleracea L., common name palak, belong the class Amaranths family Amaranthaceous. It is an anti-bacterial, antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hepatoprotective agent. In this study, methanol, ethanol, n-hexane aqueous extracts of leaf were evaluate ...

Corn tassel (Zea may L.) is rich in phenolic compounds including flavonoids and anthocyanins. The aim of this study to consider the results contents phenolics (TPC), (TFC), flavonol (TF), anthocyanins (TAC), alfa-amylase inhibitory activity, antioxidant activity FRAP metal chelating capabilities (MCC) as potential Antiviral anti-Rheumatoid arthritis. Significantly high levels capacity, total in...

This study aimed to evaluate and correlate phytochemical content, antioxidant activity alpha-amylase inhibitory in aqueous acetone extract fractions derived from it (ethyl acetate fraction, watersoluble methanol fraction fraction) which are obtained Ampelocissus martini Planch. root. Ethyl had the highest total phenolic content proanthocyanidin respectively. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, 2,2'-...
