Assessing the phenolic profile, antioxidant, antidiabetic and protective effects against oxidative damage in human erythrocytes of peaches from Fundão
TL;DR: In this article, the phenolic profile and biological potential of six peach cultivars from the Fundao region (Portugal) were evaluated, and the LC-DAD analysis revealed a total of 3 anthocyanins and 14 non-colored phenolics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and evaluation of an hplc/dad method for the analysis of phenolic compounds from olive fruits
Ana Ferreira da Vinha,Branca M. Silva,Paula B. Andrade,Rosa M. Seabra,José Alberto Pereira,M. Beatriz P.P. Oliveira +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new HPLC/DAD methodology for separating nine phenolic compounds is described, applied to the definition of qualitative and quantitative profiles of three Portuguese olive fruit cultivars (Cobrancosa, Madural and Verdeal).
Journal ArticleDOI
Relevant principal component analysis applied to the characterisation of Portuguese heather honey.
Rui C. Martins,Vitor V. Lopes,Patrícia Valentão,João C. M. F. Carvalho,Paulo Isabel,MT Amaral,Maria Teresa Batista,Paula B. Andrade,Branca M. Silva +8 more
TL;DR: ‘Serra da Lousã’ heather honey is characterisation by using novel statistical methodology, relevant principal component analysis, in order to assess the correlations between production year, locality and composition, and its chemical composition is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can Tea Consumption be a Safe and Effective Therapy Against Diabetes Mellitus-Induced Neurodegeneration?
TL;DR: The potential beneficial effects of tea consumption and tea phytochemicals on DM and how their action can counteract the severe brain damage induced by this disease are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic dynamics of human Sertoli cells are differentially modulated by physiological and pharmacological concentrations of GLP-1.
Ana Martins,Mariana P. Monteiro,Branca M. Silva,Alberto Barros,Mário Sousa,Rui A. Carvalho,Pedro Oliveira,Marco G. Alves +7 more
TL;DR: Overall, the lowest concentrations of GLP‐1 increased the efficiency of glucose conversion to lactate, while GLP-1 concentration of 100nM induces mTOR phosphorylation, decreases mitochondrial membrane potential and oxidative damage, and it is suggested that GLp‐1 analogues may counteract obesity‐related male infertility.
