Clinical Trials

Ingestion of Helianthus tuberosus at Breakfast Rather Than at Dinner Is More Effective for Suppressing Glucose Levels and Improving the Intestinal Microbiota in Older Adults.

This study explored the effects of timing fiber intake on postprandial glucose levels and gut microbiota in older adults. Results suggest that consuming fiber in the morning may have stronger effects on gut microbiota and lower postprandial glucose levels compared to evening intake.

Comparative Evaluation of Medicinal Plant Extracts and Antimicrobial Magistrals.

Summary

This study compares antimicrobial activity of traditional medicine substances. Brilliant green and rivanol are most effective. Plant extracts from Cydonia oblonga and Cistus laurifolius have highest antimicrobial effects, while Fumaria cilicica and Cistus laurifolius are strongest against fungus. This can inform drug formulation decisions.

Plant Regeneration via Organogenesis in Jerusalem Artichokes and Comparative Analysis of Endogenous Hormones and Antioxidant Enzymes in Typical and Atypical Shoots.

Summary

Scientists optimized a protocol for clonal propagation of Jerusalem artichoke, a nutrient-rich plant. They found the best conditions for shoot and root formation, successfully regenerating plants. However, atypical shoots had poor growth due to high levels of IAA and ABA hormones, increasing antioxidant enzyme activity.
