TL;DR: In this paper, the inhibitory action of polyphenol-rich extracts (free and bound) of C. olitorius on α-amylase, α-glucosidase and angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE), as well as identifying the phenolic compound responsible for these activities were characterized.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the inhibitory effect of free and bound phenol extracts of bitter leaf on key enzymes linked to type-2 diabetes (α-glucosidase and α-amylase) and hypertension (angiotensin-I converting enzyme [ACE]).

TL;DR: Results reveal that the vegetable extract of redflower ragleaf is a rich source of phenolic compounds with antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory potential and may be beneficial for treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: In this article, the phenolic content, characterization and antioxidant properties of aqueous extracts of three varieties of Celosia species were assessed and it was shown that the extracts showed strong antioxidant actions as revealed by their 2.2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical, 2,2′-azinobis-3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonate, nitric oxide radical-scavenging abilities and reducing power.

TL;DR: Padauk leaf exhibited modulatory effects on purinergic and cholinergic enzymes involved in the prevention of platelet abnormality and consequent vascular complications in diabetic state.
