Comparison of Phytochemical Composition and Untargeted Metabolomic Analysis of an Extract from Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (Mill.) I. I. Johnst and Porophyllum ruderale (Jacq.) Cass. and Biological Cytotoxic and Antiproliferative Activity In Vitro.

Summary

Mexican plants CA and PR show promise in fighting colon cancer cells, with CA being particularly effective in reducing metabolic activity and inducing apoptosis. Further research is required, but these plants hold potential as sources of polyphenols for anticancer treatments.

Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load of Two Dishes Cooked with Alache (Anoda cristata) and Chaya (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius) Plants from the Traditional Mexican Diet.

Summary

This study measured the glycemic index and glycemic load of white rice and tamal prepared with and without two species of quelites. Quelites could be a good alternative for healthy diets.

Cnidoscolus aconitifolius-supplemented diet enhanced neurocognition, endogenous antioxidants and cholinergic system and maintains hippocampal neuronal integrity in male Wistar rats.

Summary

The study examined the memory-enhancing effect of a diet supplemented with a plant extract (name not given) using two tests, Morris water maze and Novel object recognition test. The results suggest that the supplemented diet improved neurobehavioral performance and could potentially have implications for memory improvement.

Cnidoscolus aconitifolius-supplemented diet enhanced neurocognition, endogenous antioxidants and cholinergic system and maintains hippocampal neuronal integrity in male Wistar rats.

Summary

Researchers conducted a study on the memory-enhancing effect of a -supplemented diet using the Morris water maze and novel object recognition test. The results showed that a -enriched diet was effective in improving memory and neurobehavioral performance. The findings suggest that incorporating into the diet may be beneficial for cognitive function.
