Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) stalk extracts: Comparison of pericarp and placenta extracts
Lei Chen,Young-Hwa Kang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and inhibitory effect on nitric oxide (NO) production in macrophages were investigated on red pepper stalks.

In vitro inhibitory effect of oriental melon (Cucumis melo L. var. makuwa Makino) seed on key enzyme linked to type 2 diabetes: Assessment of anti-diabetic potential of functional food
Lei Chen,Young-Hwa Kang +1 more
TL;DR: In vitro studies indicated that hexane extract of oriental melon seed could be used as a potent alternative for controlling type 2 diabetes.

Antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of Plebeian herba (Salvia plebeia R. Br.) under different cultivation conditions.
Lei Chen,Young-Hwa Kang +1 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, by comparison with hydroponics and traditional cultivation, Plebeian herba cultivated in nutrition-based soil improved inhibitory effect on free radicals of DPPH, ABTS, and NO and increased the contents of phenolics such as caffeic acid, luteolin-7-glucoside, homoplantaginin, hispidulin, and eupatorin.

Roasting processed oriental melon (Cucumis melo L. var. makuwa Makino) seed influenced the triglyceride profile and the inhibitory potential against key enzymes relevant for hyperglycemia
TL;DR: Results suggest that oriental melon seed extracts contain TAG and unsaturated fatty acids, which are potent inhibitors of α-glucosidase and α-amylase, and may be extracted and added to foods.

In Vitro Inhibitory Potential Against Key Enzymes Relevant for Hyperglycemia and Hypertension of Red Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Including Pericarp, Placenta, and Stalk
Lei Chen,Young-Hwa Kang +1 more
TL;DR: The in vitro inhibitory activities of α-amylase, α-glucosidase and ACE provide a strong biochemical rationale for further in vivo studies for type 2 diabetes through the control of glucose absorption and for the reduction of the associated hypertension.
