“…The levels of cholesterol, triacyglycerol, HDL-C and LDL-C were determined in the serum of the animals using standard procedures [18][19][20][21] . The Automated Haematologic Analyzer (Sysmex, KX-21, Japan) was used to analyse the haematological parameters of red blood cells (RBC), haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), Mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), large unstained cell (LUC), red cell width coefficient of variation (RDW-CV), white blood cell (WBC), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW) and platelets.…”

Hyperglycemia is a pathological condition associated with prediabetes and diabetes. The incidence of prediabetes and diabetes is increasing and imposes great burden on healthcare worldwide. Patients with prediabetes and diabetes have significantly increased risk for cardiovascular diseases and other complications. Currently, management of hyperglycemia includes pharmacological interventions, physical exercise, and change of life style and diet. Food supplements have increasingly become attractive alternatives to prevent or treat hyperglycemia, especially for subjects with mild hyperglycemia. This review summarized current patents and patent applications with relevant literature on five commonly used food supplements with claims of hypoglycemic effects, including emblica officinalis (gooseberry), fenugreek, green tea, momordica charantia (bitter melon) and cinnamon. The data from human clinical studies did not support a recommendation for all five supplements to manage hyperglycemia. Fenugreek and composite supplements containing emblica officinalis showed the most consistency in lowering fasting blood sugar (FBS) or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in diabetic patients. The hypoglycemic effects of cinnamon and momordica charantia were demonstrated in most of the trials with some exceptions. However, green tea exhibited limited benefits in reducing FBS or HbA1c levels and should not be recommended for managing hyperglycemia. Certain limitations are noticed in a considerable number of clinical studies including small sample size, poor experimental design and considerable variations in participant population, preparation format, daily dose, and treatment duration. Future studies with more defined participants, standardized preparation and dose, and improved trial design and size are warranted.

“…Curcuminoids decrease lipid peroxidation through conserving the activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase at high levels. The antioxidant properties of turmeric extracts are mainly due to diacetylcurcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin (Faizal et al, 2009).…”

The food industry is becoming more specialized and processing methods are continuously being developed to meet consumer needs. Consumers demand products that are safe and preferably free of synthetic additives. These additives are associated with health effects, in most cases without reasonable justification. Consequently, consumers are looking for clearly labelled products that guarantee the absence of synthetic additives. This has led to the need to search for natural additives, which the food industry claims arenatural antioxidant preservatives. The sources of natural antioxidants can be extremely varied, because practically all plants contain antioxidants that allow them to protect themselves from solar radiation and pests, as well as to regulate the production of chemical energy. However, the best alternatives for the food industry are fruits and spices, because they are already foods themselves. This article will describe fruits and spices considered as important sources of phenolic antioxidants. The main medicinal properties are related to phenolic compounds and their uses as additives, depending on their chemical structure. Keywords
