Diabetes is a common disease caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, which was the top three diseases threatening human health. Therefore, it is necessary to seek more efficient hypoglycemic drugs. The main objective of this study was
Inhibition of maltase, sucrase, isomaltase and glucoamylase activity by acarbose, epigallocatechin gallate, epicatechin gallate and four polyphenol-rich tea extract from white, green, oolong, black tea, were investigated by using rat intestinal enzymes and human Caco-2 cells. Regarding rat intestinal enzyme
Amylopectin fine structures were studied following limited hydrolysis of gelatinised waxy maize starch by amylases with a different level of inner chain attack (LICA). This was done by size exclusion chromatography as well as by debranching the (partially hydrolysed) amylopectin

The study evaluated the phytochemical composition of Ephedra alata and its effects on α-amylase and lipase enzymes and diabetic-induced liver-kidney-testes toxicities to determine the anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, and anti-toxic potentials of the plant. Obesity was induced by a high-fat and fructose
The determination of the temperature dependence of enzyme catalysis has traditionally been a labourious undertaking. We have developed a new approach to the classical Arrhenius parameter estimation by fitting the change in velocity under a gradual change in temperature. The
Follow our procedure for the determination of alpha-Amylase activity. This enzymatic assay of a-Amylase guides you through the entire process and necessary calculations.
