Effect of post-harvest ultrasound treatment on phytochemical enhancement in Gynura procumbens leaves and their protection against oxidative stress-induced muscle atrophy.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGynura procumbens is a medicinal plant widely recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Despite its traditional use in Southeast Asia, its potential role in promoting muscle health has not been thoroughly investigated. Sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength during aging, remains a significant public health concern with limited therapeutic options. This study aimed to enhance the phytochemical content of G. procumbens leaves through ultrasound treatment and to evaluate the biological effects of treated extracts on muscle atrophy in a C2C12 myoblast and myotube model.
resultsUltrasound treatment for 10 min significantly increased the activities of catalase, peroxidase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, and tyrosine ammonia-lyase. These enzymatic changes were associated with elevated levels of phenolic acids and flavonoids, including quercetin, rutin, and kaempferol. The 10 min ultrasound-treated G. procumbens (UTGP) extract enhanced cell viability under oxidative stress conditions and promoted the expression of myogenic differentiation markers in C2C12 cells. Targeted and untargeted metabolomics analyses confirmed the accumulation of key bioactive compounds and their strong correlation with muscle-protective activities.
conclusionsUltrasound treatment is an effective postharvest strategy to enhance the phytochemical profile and functional properties of G. procumbens. The 10 min UTGP extract demonstrated significant potential for preventing muscle atrophy by improving cellular antioxidant capacity and promoting muscle differentiation. These findings provide a scientific basis for the development of G. procumbens-based functional foods or nutraceuticals targeting age-related muscle loss. © 2025 The Author(s).
