The objective of the current study was to determine phenolic composition and carotenoid contents leaves, bark, fruits Malpighia umbellata, assess changes in carotenoids vitamin C its different stages maturity, evaluate antioxidant properties fruits. Leaves accumulated highest levels flavonoids (10.55 mg/g dry extract), tannins (21.16 (424 63 µg/g tissue); whereas, level total phenolics found bark (47.12 extract). content decreased with maturity Twenty-two were characterized by high...
Purpose: To evaluate the inhibitory activity of 10 wild Verbenaceae species from Mexico against α- glucosidase and α-amylase.Methods: Ethanol leaf extracts were prepared. The α-glucosidase α-amylase was evaluated using enzymatic protocols. At least four serial diluted concentrations each extract used to calculate half-maximal concentration (IC50).Results: showed high inhibition activity, but a low effect on α-amylase. Aloysia gratissima (IC50 = 0.122 mg/mL), Verbena carolina 0.112 Bouchea...
Las plantas silvestres han sido desde tiempos prehispánicos una fuente importante de alimento para los mexicanos. Un grupo alto valor nutritivo representativo estas y presente en la gastronomía mexicana son quelites, cuyas hojas, tallos flores se consumen tiernos. En algunas regiones México, como Durango, existe poca información sobre diversidad distribución especies quelites. El objetivo este trabajo fue analizar el estado actual del conocimiento relevancia quelites alimentación población...
Epigenetic changes are involved in plant responses to stress. Cytosine methylation is one of the most important epigenetic changes, regulating gene expression. In this paper, MSAP (methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism) method was used find out how watercress (Rorippa nasturtium aquaticum) genome changed response 0, 60, 80, and 100 mM NaCl that affected phenylalanine ammonium lyase (PAL) activity, phenolic content, antioxidant capacity. The results showed an inverse correlation...
