Winery By-Products In Vitro and In Vivo Effects on Atherothrombotic Markers: Focus on Platelet-Activating Factor by Maria Choleva, Smaragdi Antonopoulou, Elizabeth Fragopoulou

“…Similar conclusions have been drawn from human supplementation studies, which suggest that winery by-product extracts may have beneficial biological effects on the cardiovascular system. Evidence from long-term studies shows that consumption may lower total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, improve insulin sensitivity, decrease lipid and protein oxidative damage, enhance antioxidant capacity, and have mild anti-inflammatory action toward reducing cytokine expression and levels. …”

UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS profiling, molecular networking, and molecular docking analysis of Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth. ex. Walp. stem ethanolic extract and its gastroprotective effec... by Aya A. Wafaey, Seham S. El-Hawary, Osama G. Mohamed, Sahar S. Abdelrahman, Alaa M. Ali, Ahmed A. El-Rashedy, Mohamed F. Abdelhameed, Farid N. Kirollos

“…Further analysis indicated that the GSS ethanolic extract exhibited a total phenolic content of 38.78 ± 1.609 µg of gallic acid equivalent/mg and a total flavonoid content of 5.62 ± 0.50 µg of rutin equivalent/mg. Biological evaluations showed that GSS ethanolic extract mitigated gastric tissue injury induced by pyloric ligation, with a notable reduction in oxidative stress marker reactive oxygen species levels and inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels. …”
