TNF and obesity disorder: Interestingly, the carotenoid extract of C. racemosa has good biological activity in inhibiting α-glucosidase (an EC50 of CrNH = 52.76 μg/mL), α-amylase (an EC50 of CrE = 69.12 μg/mL), lipase (an EC50 of CrE = 45.51 μg/mL), DPPH (an EC50 of CrE = 52.84 μg/mL) and ABTS (an EC50 of CrE = 79.73 μg/mL), and the TNF-α and mTOR, as well as upregulating the AMPK, which makes it a candidate drug or functional antidiabetic food and a very promising anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory.
