Obesity is the accumulation of abnormal or excessive fat that may interfere with maintenance an optimal state health. The excess macronutrients in adipose tissues stimulates them to release inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 6, reduces production adiponectin, predisposing a pro-inflammatory oxidative stress. increased level 6 liver synthesize secrete C-reactive protein. As risk factor, inflammation imbedded mechanism developed cardiovascular diseases...

No varietal differences were observed, however, as increased from 0...

The extractive capability of phenolic components from herb material is considerably depended on the type solvent. In our research three kinds solvents (methanol, acetone and chloroform) extracts different parts (leaves, stems rhizomes) two Malaysian young ginger varieties (Halia Bara Halia Bentong) were used to examine effects extraction solvent total phenolics (TP), flavonoids (TF), quercetin, catechin rutin content antioxidant activity [1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay]. Results...

Zingiber officinale Roscoe. (Family Zingiberaceae) is well known in Asia. The plant widely cultivated village gardens the tropics for its medicinal properties and as a marketable spice Malaysia. Ginger varieties are rich physiologically active phenolics flavonoids with range of pharmacological activities. Experiments were conducted to determine feasibility increasing levels (quercetin, rutin, catechin, epicatechin, kaempferol, naringenin, fisetin morin) phenolic acid (gallic acid, vanillic...

Etlingera elatior is a well-known herb in Malaysia with various pharmaceutical properties. E. flowers grown three different locations of (Kelantan, Pahang and Johor), were investigated for differences their content secondary metabolites (total phenolics [TPC], total flavonoids [TFC], tannin [TTC]) as well antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial Phenolic acids isolated identified using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). Ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP)...

The aim of this study was to examine the effects extraction methods on antioxidant capacities red dragon fruit peel and flesh. Antioxidant were measured using ethylenebenzothiozoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical cation assay ferric reducing power (FRAP). Total phenolic content (TPC) determined Folin-Ciocalteu reagent while quantitative determination total flavonoid (TFC) conducted aluminium trichloride colorimetric method. Betacyanin (BC) by spectrophotometer. Red extracted conventional...

Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum Linnaeus) is aromatic herb that has been utilized in traditional medicine. To improve the phytochemical constituents and pharmaceutical quality of sweet leaves, ultraviolet (UV)-B irradiation at different intensities (2.30, 3.60, 4.80 W/m²) durations (4, 6, 8, 10-h) was applied post-harvest stage. Total flavonoid content (TFC) total phenolic (TPC) were measured using spectrophotometric method, individual flavonoids acids identified ultra-high performance liquid...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with hyperglycemia, inflammatory disorders and abnormal lipid profiles. Several functional foods have therapeutic potential to treat chronic diseases including diabetes. The of pomegranate has been stated by multitudinous scientists. present study aimed evaluate the effects juice seed powder on levels plasma glucose insulin, biomarkers, profiles, health pancreatic islets Langerhans in streptozotocin (STZ)-nicotinamide (NAD) induced T2DM Sprague...
