Abstract
Insulin resistance syndrome is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CAD). Endothelial dysfunction due to reduced nitric oxide generation is seen in both insulin resistance syndrome and CAD. Endothelial dysfunction also occurs in obesity, diabetes mellitus, and other cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, we employed multiple sequence alignment using Clustal W tool and constructed a phylogenetic tree using functional protein sequences extracted from NCBI and Gene cards. These studies showed that nitric oxide synthase and adiponectin play a major role in insulin resistance and coronary artery disease. This and other studies suggest that endothelial dysfunction is an early event in insulin resistance syndrome.

Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
