Flavonoids have been reported to be vital in treating various chronic disorders. Luteolin (3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone) is a flavonoid present in a variety of plant sources such as celery, green pepper, olive oil, peppermint, thyme, rosemary, oregano, etc. It has been reported to have various pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-Alzheimer, antimicrobial, etc. Many scientific studies have been carried out on luteolin for its possible effects on diabetes and its associated complications. The present review focuses on the role of luteolin in diabetes mellitus and the associated complications. The antidiabetic impact of luteolin is linked with the increased expression of PPARγ and GLUT. Various in vitro and in vivo studies have been performed to explore the effects of luteolin on diabetic complications, and it has shown a significant impact in the management of the same.

, a salt-tolerant plant, has demonstrated antioxidant effects, the ability to prevent prostate enlargement, antifungal properties, and skin moisturizing benefits. This study aimed to explore the anti-melanogenic potential of the 70% ethanol extract of (TME) along with its ethyl acetate (TME-EA) and water (TME-A) fractions. TME (10-200 µg/mL), TME-EA (1-15 µg/mL), and TME-A (100-1000 µg/mL) were prepared and applied to B16F10 cells with or without α-MSH for 72 h.

Long-term exposure to high ammonia concentrations could severely impact chicken health. On the other hand, luteolin has been shown to protect against ammonia poisoning. Although phosphorylation is critically involved in toxicity induction, the specific role of phosphorylated proteins in ammonia poisoning remains unclear.

Due to the structural diversity of flavonoids in functional plant foods and the inherent limitations of existing techniques, it is important to develop a simple and green (environmentally friendly) method of extracting flavonoids from plant foods. In this study, a method involving solvent extraction followed by automated solid-phase extraction was developed for extracting flavonoids from flos (JYH) and (SYH), both of which are widely used functional plant-based foods in Asian countries. For the optimisation of the solvent extraction method, solvent concentration (0.

Iodes seguinii is a woody vine known for its potential therapeutic applications in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) due to its rich bioactive components. Here, we achieved the first chromosome-level assembly of the nuclear genome of I. seguinii using PacBio HiFi and chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) sequencing data.
