Altitudinal impacts on chemical content and composition of Hypericum perforatum, a prominent medicinal herb
TL;DR: In this article, the composition of essential oil (EO) among Hypericum perforatum populations from two growing sites of Northern Turkey were investigated in detail for the first time, where aerial parts of 30 individuals at full flowering were collected at five different altitudes (391, 631, 1318, 1586 and 1733m) of Anzer upland and six different altitude (1311, 1447, 1968, 2068, 20169 and 2210 m) of Cimil upland in territory of Rize province, Turkey.

Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
TL;DR: Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors are antihyperglycemic agents that lower blood glucose by delaying the digestion and absorption of complex carbohydrates by competitive inhibitors of the enzymes in the brush border of enterocytes that cleave eligosaccharides to monosACcharides.
