Article Synopsis
- - Type 2 diabetes is a serious metabolic disease affecting about 422 million people worldwide, with 1.5 million annual deaths; current treatments fail to cure it, leading researchers to explore plant-derived natural drugs as potential therapies.
- - This study focuses on investigating the antidiabetic effects of compounds from black rice, utilizing a variety of methods including antioxidant activity tests, GC-MS analysis for compound identification, and ADMET profiling to assess drug-like properties.
- - Results identified 184 compounds in the extract, with 18 qualifying as potential therapeutic agents; key proteins involved in diabetes pathways were also pinpointed, and molecular docking showed promising binding interactions with specific proteins (AKT1 and ESR1) linked to diabetes management.
Article Synopsis
- High-priced Basmati rice is often mislabelled to boost profits, risking consumer trust and brand reputation.
- Researchers collected 36 Basmati rice samples from two areas in Punjab, Pakistan, to differentiate between high-quality and inferior products using advanced testing methods.
- Multivariate data analysis techniques successfully clustered samples by their growing regions, and partial least squares-discriminant analysis proved effective in grouping and identifying unknown samples, highlighting the need for improved methods to trace rice origins.
