TL;DR: This research analyzed the major chemical components and multiple antioxidant activities present in the fresh juice of eight vegetables, and studied their influence on starch induced postprandial glycemia in rats to highlight the possible adverse influence of high polyphenol content on the antihyperglycemic activity of the vegetable juices.

TL;DR: Bergenin, major bioactive compound isolated from methanolic extract of Mallotus philippinensis, displayed moderate AGE inhibition activity and a series of derivatives of bergenin (3a-k) containing variety of aromatic acids were synthesized under mild conditions by modification of sugar part.

TL;DR: It is found that raw horse gram seed is a rich source of polyphenols, flavonoids and protein and possesses potent properties to scavenge free radicals and the ability to reduce starch-induced postprandial glycaemic excursions by virtue of potent intestinal α-glucosidase inhibitory activity.

TL;DR: This investigation finds that juice of leafy vegetables is potent source of biological antioxidants and furthermore, juice of raphanus, ajwain and sowa leaves possess capacity to mitigate starch induced postprandial glycemic burden and amaranthus leaves’ juice can reduce glucose induced post Prussian glycemic excursion.

TL;DR: Sprouting leads dynamic changes in free radicals scavenging potentials and antioxidant activities in grains, which can significantly mitigate 1st 30 min postprandial glycemic excursion and reduce 2 h postprandely glycemic burden.
