It is well known that type 2 diabetes an endocrine disease. Among glucose-lowering medications, α glucosidase which a membrane bound enzyme at the epithelium of small intestine catalyses cleavage glucose from disaccharide are effective for delaying absorption. i.e., inhibitors delay absorption ingested carbohydrates, reducing postprandial glucose. Pancreatic α-amylase key in digestive system an...

Adansonia digitata (A. digitata) leaves serve as food and has several medicinal uses in many parts of the world. This study evaluated the influence of blanching on the phenolics composition, antioxidant activity, and inhibitory effect of methanol extract of A. digitata leaves on the activities of some key enzymes (α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and aldose reductase) implicated in type 2 diabetes (T2...

The DNSA assay has been widely employed for the in vitro detection and quantification of alpha-amylase inhibitory activity. However, conventional method is associated with inconsistencies between protocols requires a large volume samples other reagents that can compromise accurate quantitation. Therefore, study aimed to develop reliable, simple, rapid analytical determining α-amylase developed ...

potato tuberworm, phthorimaea operculella zeller (lepidoptera; gelechiidae) is a worldwide pest of solanaceous crops. larvae feed inside galleries in foliage, stems and tubers making chemical control unsuccessful, so other control methods should be applied. in recent years many plants have received genes that encode toxic proteins as a strategy to resist insect pests. in this study, optimal ph ...

Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing disease across the world; diabetes complex metabolic disorder in which blood glucose concentration level increases and continue for prolonged period due to decrease secretion of insulin or action, resulting carbohydrate, lipid, protein metabolism. The plant-related bioactive compounds have proven their efficacy with least toxicities can be...
