Polyphenol Profile of × L. and Its Relevance to Antioxidant Effect and α-Glucosidase Inhibition.

The European Food Safety Authority recommends as a natural source of antioxidants. Its activity is essentially determined by polyphenols, although specific compounds are not finally indicated. The available plant material comes from different subspecies and locations, which can lead to differences in chemical composition and potency.

Antioxidant and Antiglycation Effects of Water Infusion, Its Phenolic Components, and Respective Metabolites.

Reactive oxygen and carbonyl species promote oxidative and carbonyl stress, and the development of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, and others. The traditional herb is known for its antioxidant properties; therefore, the current study aimed to assess how the chemical composition of a water infusion corresponds with its antioxidative and antiglycative effects in vitro. The composition of infusions prepared from commercial products was analyzed with UHPLC-ESI-qTOF-MS.
