Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism for diabetes II treatment by the ethyl acetate fraction of Atriplex halimus L.

Summary

They studied Atriplex halimus fractions on Drosophila larvae to treat Type 2 diabetes. Results showed decreased glucose and increased weight. Eryodictyol-7-O-neohesperidoside may be a potential antidiabetic compound.

Phytochemical Analysis, acetylcholinesterase inhibition, antidiabetic and antioxidant activity of Atriplex halimus L. (Amaranthaceae Juss.).

Summary

Mediterranean saltbush contains beneficial compounds like phenols and flavonoids, which have antioxidant properties. These compounds also have potential health benefits against diabetes and acetylcholinesterase-related conditions. Enzyme activities are linked to the presence of terpenes, sterols, saponins, coumarins, and carotenoids.
