Lophosoria quadripinnata (J.F.Gmel.) C.Chr., a fern species from the Dicksoniaceae family, is widely distributed in Central and South America. This study aimed to identify the bioactive compounds in the aqueous extract of L. quadripinnata, evaluate its antioxidant potential through in vitro analy...
Black aspergilli exhibit remarkable bioconversion potential by transforming plant matrices into bioactive compounds, although their metabolic processes remain underexplored. This study investigated the biotransformation of metabolites during the solid-state cultivation of guabiju (Myrcianthes...
Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a significant and challenging condition in the digestive system, necessitating the development of effective therapeutic interventions. The Daifu decoction (DFD) is derived from the Lizhong decoction, a classic traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula used ...
Hyperuricemia (HUA) has emerged as an increasingly prevalent metabolic disorder worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the effects of red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) anthocyanins (RKBA) on alleviating HUA and screen the lead candidate. RKBA effectively inhibited XOD in vitro. In vivo ...
Ageing is a progressive and irreversible biological process characterized by the deterioration of physiological functions and increased vulnerability to mortality. Although extensively studied in vertebrates, ageing in long-lived invertebrates remains comparatively unexplored. While ageing typica...
Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is a stone fruit widely consumed and appreciated for its organoleptic properties, as well as its nutraceutical potential. We here investigated the characteristics of six non-commercial Tuscan varieties of sweet cherry maintained at the Regional Germplasm Ba...
