Germinated Pigeon Pea (Cajanus cajan): a novel diet for lowering oxidative stress and hyperglycemia
This work studied the antioxidant activity of extract of germinated pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Germination was carried out in a dark chamber under room temperature (28°C). The total phenolic, 1,1,diphenyl-2-picrylhy-drazyl free radical (DPPH) scavenging, the inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase were done in vitro and blood glucose levels of the animal were...
متن کاملEstimation of Linkage and Penetrance Parameters in a Study of Petal Color in the Pigeon Pea.
HE genetics of petal color and venation in the papilionate flower of the pigeon pea (Cajanus mian (L.) Millsp.) has been reported by DAVE (1934) and MENEZES (1 956), who postulated four or five independent loci to govern these characters. In the present study of six different intervarietal crosses, however, evidence was obtained for a different and relatively complex genetic basis involving lin...
متن کاملEstimating demand for perennial pigeon pea in Malawi using choice experiments
Perennial crops have numerous ecological and agronomic advantages over their annual counterparts. We estimate discrete choice models to evaluate farmers' preferences for perennial attributes of pigeon pea intercropped with maize in central and southern Malawi. Pigeon pea is a nitrogen-fixing leguminous crop, which has the potential to ameliorate soil fertility problems related to continuous mai...
متن کاملDNA-templated synthesis: more versatile than expected.
It has been known for almost twenty years that nucleic acids may promote chemical reactions. Catalytic nucleic acids can be found in nature or evolved through in vitro selection processes.[1] Structural and functional investigations suggest that catalytically active nucleic acids act in a similar manner to enzymes: they promote chemical reactions through the precise spatial alignment of the rea...
متن کاملNano-gels: A versatile nano -carrier platform for drug delivery systems: A mini review
Nowadays the application of nanotechnology in different biomedical fields such as drug delivery is increasing due to its unique advantages. With this in mind, it is widely believed that nanogels as the nanometer-sized networked polymeric particles have a considerable impact on drug delivery systems as biocompatible nanocarriers due to their unique characteristics such as high loading capacity, ...
