Studied effects of growing conditions on kiwifruit quality during cold storage. Findings can help improve storage conditions and minimize quality losses for consumer satisfaction.
Kiwifruit extract (KFE) has strong antioxidant properties that can improve glucose levels and testis function in diabetic rats, making it a potential complementary therapy for diabetes.
Kiwifruit boosts antioxidant capacity in pigs' brains & plasma. Green KF increases FRAP, gold KF raises ascorbate. Polyphenols play a role in brain health. Eat kiwifruit for brain protection.
Green kiwifruit powder fermentation in the gut activated the aryl hydrocarbon receptor pathway, benefiting gut health and immunity. It also had potential anti-inflammatory effects, making it a beneficial option for constipation.
In this study, researchers found that p-Hydroxybenzoic acid (pHBA) in kiwifruit inhibits the growth of A. flavus and prevents the production of toxic aflatoxins. pHBA also induces oxidative stress in the fungus. pHBA could be used as a treatment to reduce A. flavus infection in kiwifruit.
Kiwifruit oil contains various phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties. It also exhibits inhibitory effects on enzymes linked to metabolic diseases like Alzheimer's and diabetes. The oil shows potential for pharmaceutical applications.
This study found that kiwi extract can improve liver and kidney damage in rats with Type 2 diabetes. It reduces inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, and activates the insulin signaling pathway. Certain components of kiwi extract have potential as natural products for treating diabetes.
DFU is a common and serious problem for diabetics. Treating it is difficult, particularly for people with weak immune systems.
