Evaluation of the impact of polypeptide-p on diabetic rats upon its cloning, expression, and secretion in Saccharomyces boulardii.

Researchers evaluated the effectiveness of a recombinant protein from Momordica charantia on diabetic rats. They cloned the optimized gene sequence into a probiotic yeast and fed it to diabetic rats, resulting in a significant reduction in blood glucose levels. This study suggests a potential safe plant-based supplement for diabetes.

Regulatory effects of curcumin on nitric oxide signaling in the cardiovascular system.

Curcumin, a component of Curcuma longa, shows promise in treating cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) due to its ability to increase nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and impact NO signaling pathways, improving endothelial function and offering anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
