The nephroprotective action of Passiflora edulis in streptozotocin-induced diabetes.
In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Passiflora edulis fruit peel aqueous (AFA) extract as an adjuvant to insulin to confer nephroprotection against streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups based on treatment received for 60 days: diabetic (DB), control (CTL), insulin (INS), and insulin + AFA extract (INS + AFA). mRNA and protein expression levels of podocyte (nephrin, podocin, and WT1) and tubular (megalin) proteins were measured in kidney tissue specimens and urine. Biochemical parameters and kidney histopathology were al

BACKGROUND: It is undeniable that diabetes may cause several health complications for the population. Many of these complications are associated with poor glycemic control. Due to this, strategies to handle this problem are of great clinical importance and may contribute to reducing the various complications from diabetes. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the passion fruit peel flour versus turmeric flour on glycemic control. METHODS: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis following the PRISMA protocol.

The stunning nutritional and medicinal attributes of tropical fruits have propelled them to international fame. Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) and mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) are two examples of such fruits. This review discusses in depth their phytochemical composition, health benefits, and utility in the industrial sector. Mangosteen is an important dietary food and nutraceutical agent that exhibits high antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer properties because of its richness in xanthones, anthocyanins, and polyphenols. Passion fruit has the potential to serve
PubMed: 40625630Purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. edulis): A comprehensive review on the nutritional value, phytochemical profile and associated health effects.
Passiflora is a highly diverse genus where taxonomic lack of consensus remains. This may be the reason why numerous studies do not specify to the infraspecific level the plant material used or lack consistency in the nomenclature of botanical formae of Passiflora edulis. Ultimately, this may contribute to inaccurate chemical composition and health effects attributed to different Passiflora edulis species and formae. Hence, this review aims to overcome these challenges by exploring the phytochemical profile, specific nutritional value and potential health benefits of purple passion fruit (PPF).
PubMed: 36076381Seguridad y Precauciones
La seguridad en el consumo de Maracuyá (Passiflora edulis) debe abordarse con cautela debido a su compleja composición fitoquímica. En cuanto al embarazo y la lactancia, la evidencia científica actual es insuficiente para garantizar la seguridad absoluta; aunque el consumo de la fruta en cantidades dietéticas normales se considera generalmente seguro, la presencia de alcaloides y otros compuestos bioactivos sugiere que se debe evitar el uso de extractos concentrados o suplementos durante la gestación, ya que no se han realizado estudios clínicos exhaustivos que descarten efectos teratogénicos o alteraciones en el desarrollo fetal. Durante la lactancia, la transferencia de metabolitos de la madre al lactante a través de la leche materna es una preocupación teórica que requiere precaución. Para niños menores de 12 años, se recomienda la administración moderada y únicamente en forma de fruta entera o jugo natural, evitando concentrados, debido a que sus sistemas metabólicos inmaduros pueden procesar de manera distinta los polifenoles y alcaloides. En cuanto a las interacciones farmacológicas, el Maracuyá puede interactuar con fármacos que afecten la presión arterial (antihipertensivos), dado que se ha documentado su potencial efecto hipotensor (PMID 40625630), lo que podría potenciar excesivamente el efecto de medicamentos como el enalapril o el amlodipino, provocando hipotensión. Asimismo, debido a su contenido de compuestos que pueden influir en los niveles de glucosa, existe un riesgo de interacción con fármacos antidiabéticos como la metformina, pudiendo causar hipoglucemia.
