areca/carbohydrate

Nanotechnology involving cellulosic substrates has generated a great attention owing to their exceptional physical and chemical properties. Self-assembled nanostructures obtained from carbohydrate polymers are of interest in the biomedical field for the biocompatibility and non-toxic nature. In the

BACKGROUND The nut of the Areca catechu palm has long been attributed effects on hunger and the digestive process. OBJECTIVE The objectives were to assess experimentally effects of areca nut on fasting and postprandial energy metabolism, substrate utilization and hunger. METHODS Two randomized,

As an important economic crop in tropical areas, Areca catechu L. affects the livelihood of millions of farmers. The Areca yellow leaf phenomenon (AYLP) leads to severe crop losses and plant death. To better understand the relationship of microbes and chlorotic Areca leaves, microbial community

We recently identified an autophagy-inducing areca nut ingredient (AIAI) in the partially purified 30-100 kDa fraction of areca nut extract (ANE), designated as ANE 30-100K. Before disintegration, most ANE 30-100K-treated cells exhibit rounding morphology, cytoplasmic clearance, and nuclear
