Inhibition of the experimental induction of benign prostatic hyperplasia: a possible role for fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis Hook f.) seeds.
INTRODUCTION Pumpkins are thought to be useful in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The ability of a 15% Telfairia occidentalis seeds incorporated diet to inhibit hormonal induction of BPH in rats was studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty male Wistar rats were divided into 4 equal groups - one test group and three control groups. The test group was placed on the test diet ...
متن کاملEffects of processing on the nutritional composition of fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis) seed flour
Fluted pumpkin seeds were processed into the raw, boiled, fermented, germinated and roasted seeds, dried at 500C, milled and sieved. The seed flours were analyzed for nutritional composition, energy, amino acids and fatty acids of the oils. Processing affected the levels of nutrients in the seed. The energy values ranged between 26.55 ± 0.7 – 30.06 ± 0.8 KJ/g and the seed is a good source of so...
متن کاملNutrient contents and thermal degradation of vitamins in organically grown fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis) leaves
The nutrient contents of a widely-consumed leafy vegetable produce – Telfairia occidentalis using poultry manure (PM) and mineral fertilizer (Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium-NPK) application were evaluated for comparison. PM at four levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 tonnes) and a standard rate of 90kg NPK per hectare was applied. Leaves were harvested for immediate analyses at 15 weeks after planting ...

متن کاملNitrogen application affects yield and postharvest quality of okra (Hibiscus esculentus L. cv. ‘Boyiatiou’)
In Greece and Turkey, okra (Hibiscus esculentus L.) is cultivated for small pods (≤4-5 cm), which are highly perishable after harvest. In this experiment, okra was cultivated at 4 levels of N (30, 150, 300 and 450 mg l-1) within the irrigation water. Pod yield was highest at 300 mg l-1 N. High N increased the nitrate content and decreased dry matter without affecting pod colour (P
