Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how different fertilizers impact fruit yields, phenolic profiles, and antioxidant activity in jujube trees (Ziziphus jujube).
  • The use of organic fertilizers was found to boost phenolic content and antioxidant activity more effectively than conventional fertilizers.
  • Combining organic fertilizers with supplemental potassium, while reducing nitrogen and phosphorus, is suggested as the optimal strategy for enhancing jujube quality and yield.

Scope: Quercetin represents antioxidative/antiinflammatory flavonoids widely distributed in the human diet. Quercetin is efficiently metabolized during absorption to quercetin-3-O-glucuronide. This study aims to parallelly investigate whether quercetin and quercetin-3-O-glucuronide exert protection against palmitate (PA)-induced inflammation and insulin resistance in the endothelium.

Two tartary buckwheat samples (Xingku No.2 and Diqing) grown at three locations were analyzed for free and bound phenolic content and antioxidant properties. Moreover, the relative contributions of variety and growing environment to phenolic content and antioxidant properties were determined, as well as correlations of these properties to growing conditions.
