Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and anti-hyperglycemic activity of chickpea protein hydrolysates evaluated in BALB-c mice.

Chickpea (ICC3761) protein hydrolysates have shown high in vitro antioxidant activity (AoxA) and antidiabetic potential. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vivo activities (i.e.

Caprylic acid in Vitex mollis fruit and its inhibitory activity against a thiabendazole-resistant Colletotrichum gloeosporioides strain.

Background: Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causes anthracnose in a large number of crops. Synthetic fungicides are employed to prevent this disease, even though their effectiveness and safety is questionable. Thus, effective and innocuous antifungal compounds are proposed as natural alternatives against anthracnose.

Multidrug resistance and class 1 integron presence in isolates from a polluted drainage ditch's water.

The impact of contamination of water drainage ditches in the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has been scarcely studied in Mexico. In this regard, 101 isolates of were obtained from water samples from a ditch in Sinaloa, during one year. The antimicrobial resistant profiles, the presence of the class 1 integron and evolutionary relationship of sequences were determined.

Metabolic changes associated with chilling injury tolerance in tomato fruit with hot water pretreatment.

Hot water treatment (HWT) of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) fruit reduces the symptoms of chilling injury (CI). The aim of this study was to identify metabolites associated with HWT-induced CI tolerance in tomato fruit cv.

α-Glucosidase inhibitory phenolics from (B. L. Rob & Seaton) leaves.

is native to Mexico and its methanol extract (ME) shows relevant biological activities for human health, including the α-glucosidase inhibitory (αGI) activity that suggests its antidiabetic potential. Fractionation of the ME based on the αGI activity (IC in µg/mL) showed that quercetin-3--β-glucoside (131.1), isorhamnetin-3--β-glucoside (166.
