The present study was conducted to evaluate the hypoglycemic effect of Smallanthus sonchifolius (yacon) leaves, in the form of infusion (aqueous extract) administered to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. After signing informed consent, were included 206 people aged 30 to 70 years old, male and female: 105 diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 101 apparently healthy control group. Type 2 diabetic patients were people who go to Scholar Healthcare of Clinical Analysis (SAAAC), Office of Pharmaceutical Care (GAF) of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, Club of type 2 diabetic patients of Cayetano Heredia Hospital and Patrucco Raul Puig Health Center (CERIT). From type 2 diabetic patients receiving drug treatment, there were 46 metabolically controlled patients and 59 not metabolically controlled ones. The latter group was given filter bags of yacon leaves of 1 g each, to be ...

To give scientific support to the traditional use of plants, was studied the aqueous extract of dried leaves of Annona muricata L. "Soursop", specie collected in the highlands jungle of Cuzco, which was classified taxonomically in the Natural History Museum of the UNMSM; Annona muricata L. revealed the presence of flavonoids and other metabolites. The aqueous extract was classified as non-toxic according to the method of dose limits for the determination of acute toxicity, result supported with the macroscopic study of organs made at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UNMSM. By employing the method of plantar edema induced by λ-carrageenan mouse model, the aqueous extract of Annona muricata L., at concentration of 1,5mg/kg, had significant anti-inflammatory efficacy compared to indomethacin. The statistical analysis was carried out by ANOVA at 95% confidence.

This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial and fungicidal activity of aqueous and alcoholic macerated from leaves of Aloe vera L., containing anthraquinone derivatives. With this macerated liquids were prepared solutions of CuSO4.5H2O 1,5%, FeCl3 1%, AgNO3 1%, and Bi (NO3)3 1,5%, which were stored in amber glass flasks, hermetically closed for 12 months under refrigeration; a similar batch was kept at 25°C. Antimicrobial and fungicide activities were determined on these preparations using plate excavation method, of USP XXX, against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Aspergillus niger strains. Aqueous solutions of Aloe vera L. showed antimicrobial activity in decreasing order Cu > Ag > Fe and alcoholic solutions in also decreasing order Ag > Cu > Fe. Only copper sulphate aqueous solutions showed fungicidal activity. The preparations prese...

Con el fin de sustituir los insecticidas químicos usados en el cultivo del algodonero por sustancias inócuas que permitan un manejo integrado de plagas con fundamento ecológico, se investigaron y colectaron 40 especies vegetales con propiedades biocidas, las que fueron clasificadas taxonómicamente en el Museo de Historia Natural de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. Entre las especies más relevantes por sus propiedades insecticidas tenemos: Tephrosia cinerea (sacha barbasco), Artemisia absinthium (ajenjo), Ryania speciosa (riania), Cissampelos grandifolia (legía), Datura Stramonium (chamico), Hura crepitans (catahua), Schinus molle (molle), Annona cherimola (chirimoya), Annona muricata (guanábana o graviola), Tagetes patula (marigold), Tanacetum parthenium (santa maría), Chromolaena laevigata (sacha huaca), Clibadium asperum (huaca), Lonchocarpus nicou (barbasco del mon...

Overweight and obesity are global public health problems that lead to a scenario of alterations in the concentration of circulating lipoproteins; in this scenario, the least studied apoAII and apoCIII have potential as predictors of stroke. The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of apolipoproteins (apoAII and apoCIII) under conditions of overweight and obesity. For this purpose, blood samples were taken from 72 volunteers of both sexes with an age range between 24 and 64 years who were overweight or obese with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25 kg/m2; additionally, lipid profile, glucose, serum levels of apoAII, apoCIII, insulin, and glycosylated hemoglobin were determined using specific kits following the manufacturer’s instructions. As a result, the average age was 47.3 years, 44.44% were obese, 34.72% were overweight and 20.83% had a normal BMI, with p=0.117, ...
