Soybean phenolic-rich extracts inhibit key-enzymes linked to type 2 diabetes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) and hypertension (angiotensin I converting enzyme) in vitro

TL;DR: P phenolic-rich extracts of soybean could inhibit key-enzyme linked to type 2 diabetes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) and hypertension (ACE) and thus could explain in part the mechanism by which soybean renders these health promoting effect.

Influence of gallic acid on α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory properties of acarbose.

TL;DR: Combinations of GA with acarbose could be employed as antidiabetic therapy, with a possible reduction of side effects of acarbOSE; nevertheless, the combination of 50% acarboses and 50% GA seems the best.
