Glucopyranoside flavonoids isolated from leaves of Spinacia oleracea (spinach) inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and aldose reductase activity (RLAR).

Background And Purpose: The formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and rat lens aldose reductase (RLAR) generated in the glycation process play an outstanding role in the complications of diabetes. Owing to the adverse effects of AGEs on diabetic patients, the search for new anti-AGE agents from plants without side effects has had significant interest from the researchers in the last decades for the development of a therapy that improves diabetic complications. Spinach could reverse the formation of AGEs and RLAR.

Spinacia oleracea Linn Considered as One of the Most Perfect Foods: A Pharmacological and Phytochemical Review.

Background: Leaves of Spinacia oleracea have been widely used as vegetarian foods. Some studies on the chemical composition of spinach have shown that it contains a high content of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), and has an important economic value with some agronomic advantages. S.

Effect of primer solvent and curing mode on dentin shear bond strength and interface morphology.

Unlabelled: There is a need to study the main and interactive bonding effects of differences in solvent and curing mode used for adhesive monomers in dentin bonding systems.

Objective: Two solvents (acetone and ethanol) and curing methods (light cure, dual cure) were evaluated on their effects on bond strength and interfacial morphology.

Method And Materials: The adhesives studied were based on two monomers, pyromellitate of glyceryl dimethacrylate (PMGDM) and 2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate (HEMA).
