Studies indicate mango possesses antidiabetic, anti-oxidant, anti-viral, cardiotonic, hypotensive, anti-inflammatory properties.
These results confirm that human platelets can generate NO.
This suggested that some cross‐infection onto mango occurs.
It also shows that apyrase can disaggregate platelets even after secondary aggregation and degranulation of platelets has taken place.
The study provided a phytochemical evidence for further development and utilization of mango leaves in health products.
Many of the pharmacological properties attributed to mango might be due to the presence of phenolic acids in fairly significant amounts.
The present study demonstrates that modifications to the formulation were necessary in order to successfully apply it to mango.

What are the most effective ways to extract medicinal compounds from plants?
5 answers
The most effective ways to extract medicinal compounds from plants include various conventional and nonconventional extraction procedures such as maceration, infusion, percolation, digestion, decoction, Soxhlet extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, turbo-extraction, countercurrent extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, solid-phase extraction, and column chromatography. Other recent techniques include ionic liquid extraction, high performance liquid chromatography, gas-phase chromatography, and chiral phase chromatography. Additionally, methods like maceration, infusion, digestion, decoction, percolation, Soxhlet extraction, countercurrent extraction, ultrasound extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and phytonics process are widely used for extracting phenolic compounds from medicinal and aromatic plants. The choice of extraction method depends on both chemical and economical parameters, and the suitability of the method needs to be proven. Overall, a combination of these extraction techniques can be employed to ensure the effective extraction of bioactive constituents from medicinal plants.

Are there any potential health benefits to using Cucurbita maxima as a spring roll wrapper?
5 answers
Cucurbita maxima, also known as pumpkin, has been studied for its potential health benefits. It has been found to have neuropharmacological benefits, including anxiolytic and antidepressant effects, as well as memory improvement. Pumpkin flowers, which are part of Cucurbita maxima, have also been used therapeutically to treat wounds and male infertility. Additionally, compounds from Cucurbita maxima have shown potential as alternative drugs for the treatment of schistosomiasis, a disease caused by parasitic worms. Furthermore, Cucurbita maxima extracts have been studied for their potential in preventing noncommunicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases. While the specific use of Cucurbita maxima as a spring roll wrapper was not mentioned in the abstracts, these studies suggest that incorporating Cucurbita maxima into food products may provide various health benefits.
What were the findings of Hobbs et al.?
5 answers
Hodge et al. found that infants with Bordetella pertussis infection showed a marked decrease in l-selectin (CD62L) expression in all leukocyte subgroups compared to healthy controls. This decrease in l-selectin expression is associated with the frequently observed lymphocytosis in patients with whooping cough caused by B. pertussis. The authors suggested that this observation could be further supported by comparing the l-selectin expression in infants with B. pertussis infection to infants with Bordetella parapertussis infection, as B. parapertussis does not express pertussis toxin and does not present with lymphocytosis. Additionally, the authors failed to credit a previous case report of a newborn with B. pertussis infection that showed a lack of expression of l-selectin by T cells, which may explain lymphocytosis in B. pertussis infection.
What are the chemical profiles of agarwood?
5 answers
Agarwood is a highly valuable fragrant wood that has been widely used in perfumery, traditional medicine, and other products. The chemical profiles of agarwood include 2-(2-phenylethyl)-4H-chromen-4-one derivatives, terpenoids (sesquiterpenes), flavonoids, and aromatic compounds. The major groups of phytochemicals identified in agarwood extracts are sesquiterpenes, 2-(2-phenylethyl)-4H-chromen-4-one derivatives (PECs), and aromatic compounds. These compounds have various pharmacological properties such as anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, neuroprotective, and anti-bacterial activities. The identities of the main key odorants of agarwood essential oil and the smoke produced by heating agarwood are also discussed in the literature. The chemical composition of agarwood can vary depending on the species and geographical distribution. Analytical techniques such as Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and ultraperformance liquid chromatography Quadrupole-Exactive Orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap/MS) have been used to analyze the chemical variation between wild and cultivated agarwood.
