“…Nitric oxide radical scavenging assay was performed according to the method of Samad, Debnath, Ye, Hasnat, and Lim () with some modifications. About 1.5 mL Sodium nitroprusside (100 mM) in standard phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.2) was incubated at 30°C with diluted 1 mL leaf extracts (100 µL leaf extracts: 900 µL methanol) for 1 hr.…”

The antioxidant potency of soluble and bound phenolic extracts of freeze‐dried six leafy vegetables was investigated using in vitro systems; singlet oxygen scavenging, hydroxyl radical scavenging, nitric oxide radical scavenging, and ABTS radicals assays. Further rutin, lutein, and β‐carotene content of leaves were analysed. The results revealed that both soluble and bound phenolic extracts have exhibited antioxidant potential toward free radicals and reactive oxygen species concerned. However, soluble extracts showed a higher content of phenolics and flavonoids than the bound counterpart. The highest rutin, lutein, and β‐carotene contents were observed in the leaves of Cassia auriculata, and the leaves of Passiflora edulis showed the highest vitamin C content. Positive associations between phenolics and antioxidant activities except for singlet oxygen radical scavenging ability were observed. Among the leafy types studied, C. auriculata have shown to possess more antioxidant bioactives such as β‐carotene, lutein, and rutin and antioxidant activities. Practical applications This paper will give information about major bioactive compounds such as β‐carotenoids, rutin, and lutein and antioxidant activity in selected green leafy vegetables due to cooking treatments. This is important for the public those concern about the healthy diet in the view of selecting leafy vegetables to combat many oxidative stress‐related chronic diseases.

“…It is especially phenolic compounds-powerful antioxidants-that favorably affect the health of people in that they decrease the frequency of the incidence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer (Stevenson and Lowe, 2009;Adams et al, 2010;Samad et al, 2014). Blueberry's phytochemicals may inhibit the growth and potential metastasis of breast and colon cancer (Adams et al, 2010;Samad et al, 2014). The content of total phenols, which is more influenced by the genotype than by environmental conditions, is an important antioxidant (Connor et al, 2002;Howard et al, 2003;Gündüz et al, 2015).…”

Although around the globe numerous studies have been conducted on the nutritional composition of blueberry/bilberry and its effect on human health, very little is known about the fruit in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is the first report regarding the physical and chemical characteristics of the cultivated highbush blueberry and bilberry harvested in the same climatic conditions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this paper we present the physical (weight) and chemical (soluble solids content, total sugars, titratable acidity, pH, and total phenols) properties of the wild bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and cultivated highbush-'Earliblue' , 'Bluegold' , 'Bluecrop' , 'Goldtraube'-blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). Among the highbush blueberry cultivars, 'Bluegold' (2.07-2.11 g) and 'Bluecrop' (2.08-2.11 g) had the highest weight. 'Bluecrop' had the highest soluble solids content (13.3-13.7 °Brix) and total sugars (9.73%-9.94%), but the lowest content of titratable acidity (0.70-0.72 g/100 g), which was highest in 'Goldtraube' (0.92-0.93 g/100 g). This cultivar also had the highest content of total phenols (289-309 mg gallic acid equivalent/100 g of fresh weight). In the case of wild bilberry, the following values were obtained: average weight 0.28-0.32 g, soluble solids content 11.1-11.3 °Brix, total sugars 7.23%-7.37%, titratable acidity 0.99%-1.02%, and total phenols 431-455 mg/100 g. Blueberry and wild bilberry also had a fairly uniform pH (3.2-3.6). All samples had a valuable composition and so it is advisory to expand their production in Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to increase their consumption.

“…Vaccinium corymbosum L. (Korean blueberry) ethanolic and aqueous extracts were tested for in vitro anti‐inflammatory activity using MTT [1‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐3,5‐diphenylformazan] and nitric oxide assay. Both extracts prevented inflammation by reducing nitric oxide production and cytotoxicity in cells (Samad, Debnath, Ye, Hasnat, & Lim, ).…”

Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) can be triggered by a various types of gynecological, gastrointestinal, urological, and musculoskeletal disorders. Recently, the role of the central nervous system has proven to be an integral part on the development of any chronic pain syndrome, including CPPS. However, owing to the complex and heterogeneous etiology and pathophysiology of CPPS, the establishment of effective therapeutic interventions remains challenging for both physicians and patients. Nonetheless, recent studies have pointed that medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites can be effectively used in CPPS therapy, besides contributing to restore the patients' quality of life and potentiate the conventional CPPS management. In this sense, this review aims to provide a careful overview on the biomedical data for the use of medicinal plants use and their secondary metabolites on CPPS management.
