Abstract
Diabetic and normal rats were fed rodent feed and drank passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) that was sweetened with sucrose, or saccharin plus cyclamate. During the 21 days of feeding, the blood glucose and body weight increased to dangerous levels only in the diabetic rats that drank passion fruit sweetened with sucrose.

Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
