Rising popularity of phytomedicines in various diseased conditions have strengthened the significance of plant-research and evaluation of phytoextracts in clinical manifestations. Pterocarpus marsupium Roxb., a medicinal plant, known for its anti-oxidant and anti-diabetic activity is a rich source of phytochemicals with antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic activities. However, its possible ...

Using the low-density lipoprotein (LDL), collagen, and thrombin models, we report here that the rosemary extracts (REs), either the aqueous (REw) or the acetonic (REA), all possessed many antiglycation-related features, and the effective concentrations required were as follows: 0.1 mg/mL for suppressing the relative electrophoretic mobility, 1.3 microg/mL for anticonjugated diene induction, 0.5...

Non-enzymatic glycosylation (glycation) is a spontaneous set of reactions between reducing sugars and free amino groups in proteins or other biomolecules leading to the formation of fluorescent and coloured compounds known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs cause structural changes of key proteins in humans, and therefore they are related with a number of physiological processes an...

INTRODUCTION Carnosine, an over-the-counter food supplement, has a promising potential for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2DM), cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases through its anti-inflammatory, antiglycation, antioxidative and chelating effects. We have previously shown that supplementation with carnosine preserves insulin sensitivity and s...

       In this study, we examined the antioxidant activities of methanolic extract of three endemic species of Salvia from Iran (S. lachno...
