Antiobesity potential of major metabolites from Clitoria ternatea kombucha: Untargeted metabolomic profiling and molecular docking simulations.

Fermented kombucha drink contains compounds with potential as antiobesity agents. Major compounds like Kaempferol and Quercetin ranked high in inhibiting lipase enzymes and fat mass-associated proteins. Further studies needed for validation.

Effect of Mucuna pruriens on brain NMDA receptor and tau protein gene expression in cerebral ischemic rats.

Researchers investigated the effects of pre-treatment with a seed extract and its bioactive molecule on gene expression in a rat model of cerebral ischemia (reduced blood flow to the brain). Rats were divided into four groups, with those treated with the extract or molecule showing lower neurological deficits and reduced brain damage compared to those in the control group. The study suggests that pre-treatment with the molecule and extract may reduce the negative effects of cerebral ischemia.
