Sechium edule (Jacq.) Sw. (Cucurbitaceae) is used in ethnomedicine, but the diversity of varietal groups this species has not often been considered. This important because we previously reported that different variety exhibit activities across tumor cell lines.This study investigates chemical composition and biological extracts obtained from S. var. nigrum spinosum.The leukemia P388 line mononuclear bone marrow cells (MNCBMs) were treated with extract at a concentration ranging 40 to 2370...

Periodontal disease (PD) is one of the main causes tooth loss and related to oxidative stress chronic inflammation. Although different treatments have been proposed in past, vast majority do not regenerate lost tissues. In this sense, use dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells (DPMSCs) seems be an alternative for regeneration periodontal bone tissue. A quasi-experimental study was conducted a sample 22 adults between 55 64 years age with PD, without uncontrolled systemic diseases. Two groups...

To determine the effect of consumption Sechium edule (1.5 g/day) for six months on oxidative stress (OxS) and inflammation markers its association with telomere length (TL) in older adults metabolic syndrome (MetS).The study was conducted a sample 48 adults: placebo (EP) experimental (EG) groups. Lipoperoxides, protein carbonylation, 8-OHdG, total oxidant status (TOS), SOD, GPx, H2O2 inhibition, antioxidant (TAS), inflammatory cytokines (IL6, IL10, TNF-α), TL were measured before...

Cachichín (Oecopetalum mexicanum) is a tree from Sierra de Misantla, Veracruz, Mexico, whose fruit produces seed traditionally consumed raw, boiled, or toasted. This study evaluated the effects of three thermal treatments (boiling, commercial toasting, and controlled toasting) on seed's physicochemical properties, including color, water activity (αw), fatty acid profile, using raw (unprocessed) seeds as reference. Results showed that significantly altered αw, lipid composition. Controlled...

Background/Objectives: Chronic hyperglycemia, characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), promotes the development complications through oxidative stress. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen antioxidant defenses diabetic patients, even more so if they are elderly. Sechium edule contains high amounts flavonoids, cucurbitacins, and phenolic acids, which why attributed hypoglycemic properties, our aim was determine effect Schium in older patients. Methods: A quasi-experimental study...

The antiproliferative potential of a crude extract from the chayote hybrid H-837-07-GISeM® and its for apoptosis induction were assessed in leukaemic cell lines normal mouse bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs). strongly inhibited proliferation P388, J774, WEHI-3 (with an IC50 below 1.3 μg·mL(-1)), reduced viability, induced apoptotic body production, phosphatidylserine translocation, DNA fragmentation. However, had no effect on BM-MNCs. We postulate that these properties make good...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a risk factor for cognitive deterioration and frailty in older adults. In this regard it has been shown that oxidative stress (OxS) chronic inflammation are involved the pathophysiology of these alterations. Harmless antioxidant anti-inflammatory therapeutic alternatives have proposed, such as consumption

Abstract Copper(II) complexes ( 1 – 4 ) of tri‐ or tetradentate bis(2‐methylbenzimidazolyl)amine ligands L have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods in solution, as well the solid state X‐ray crystallography. The act tridentate donors towards cupric ions through one central amine two benzimidazole N atoms state; a water ligand bridging perchlorate group define distorted octahedral environments 2 3 . Complex has square‐pyramidal coordination geometry, with an additional...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has a high prevalence in older adults and is risk factor for cardiovascular diseases complications of old age. It also been related to oxidative stress (OxS) chronic inflammation (CI) their consequent alterations. Therefore, it important propose therapeutic alternatives such as the consumption Sechium edule (Chayote), since hypoglycemic, hypotensive, lipogenesis inhibitor properties are attributed it. We carried out study 81 (OA) with MetS determine effect chayote...

In addition to their own antioxidants, human cells feed on external such as the phenolic compounds of fruits and vegetables, which work together keep oxidative stress in check. Sechium edule, an edible species chayote, has with antioxidant activity antineoplastic activity. A hybrid shows one thousand times greater than species, but its anti-inflammatory activities content are unknown. The aim this study was determine capacity extract vitro vivo. Phytochemical analysis using HPLC showed that...
