inula hookeri/carbohydrate

Abstract Peucedanum alsaticum and Peucedanum cervaria represent characteristic umbellifers (Apiaceae) of calcareous grasslands in Central and Eastern Europe. Both accumulate glucose, fructose, mannitol and sucrose as dominant carbohydrates in their roots. The objective of the study was to determine

The aim of the current research was to perform two "green chemistry" extractions (ultrasound and microwave irradiation) with methanol, 70% (v/v) ethanol and water for extraction of biologically active substances from elecampane (Inula heleniun L.) roots and to compare their contents in all extracts.

The antistressor and antioxidant properties of preparations from the underground part of elfwort (Inula helenium) were studied on a model of acute stress in mice. The preparations produced a protective effect with respect to internal organs, blood, carbohydrate metabolism, and lipid peroxidation
