Vegetables and their juice help in maintaining imbalance in glucose and lipid metabolism and preserving antioxidant
defence, however, many times they are consumed after peeling. Role of vegetable�s peel in maintaining glucose and lipid
metabolism and antioxidant defence is not well explored. Antioxidative, antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic activity
was evaluated in vitro in vegetable�s peel extract. Total polyphenol, flavonoid and anthocyanin content were measured. The 2,
2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH); 2, 2-Azinobis (3-ethyl benzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS.+); nitric oxide scavenging
and nitroblue tetrazolium reducing, advance glycation end products (AGEs), intestinal �±-glucosidase, porcine pancreatic lipase
and protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1�² (PTP 1�²) inhibitory activities were examined. Peels are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids
and anthocyanins and displayed varying degrees of free radicals scavenging potentials. Extract of Luffa acutangula, Cucumis
pubescens and Cucumis melo var. chito inhibited both, vesperlysine-type and pentosidine type-AGEs formation. Momordica
charantia peel could inhibit only vesperlysine type-AGEs formation. Cucumis pubescens and Cucumis melo var. chito peel
displayed pancreatic lipase and Momordica charantia peel, intestinal �±-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Peel extracts also
displayed protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1�² (PTP 1�²) inhibitory potentials. PTP 1�² inhibitory activity was found associated
with ABTS+ and DPPH radical scavenging activities. Vegetables� peels are rich source of antioxidant activities and can slow
down postprandial hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia by inhibiting intestinal �±-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase respectively.
Phenomenon of insulin and leptin resistance can be tackled by their PTP 1�² inhibitory activity. Therefore, consumption of
these vegetables along with peel is more healthful than consuming without peel.
