One of the most common disorders of the endocrine system is diabetes mellitus. This disease is associated with dyslipidemia. Adiponectin is a protein hormone that secreted by adipocytes and has an important role in regulating of glucose and fatty acid metabolic pathways. This study was designed to investigate the changes in serum level of adiponectin in diabetic rats treated with hydroalcoholic...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Candida species, especially Candida albicans, are major fungal pathogens of humans that are capable of causing superficial mucosal infections and systemic infections in humans. The aim of this study was to evaluate the jujube (Zizyphus spina-christi) honey for its in vitro inhibitory activity against pre-formed biofilm and its interference with the biofilm formation of C. al...

This study evaluated the effect of Prunus mume polyphenols (PMPs) treatment on qualities and nutrient in winter jujube fruits during storage (4°C). Winter were treated with 5, 10, 15 mg L−1 PMP, respectively. Compared control, PMP treatments effectively preserved quality values fruits. They also enhanced activities antioxidant enzymes, inhibited growth microorganisms, delayed postharvest metabo...

Sustainability of quality fruit production in Indian jujube is adversely affected by improper irrigation and nutrient management. A field study comprising four levels (drip at 0.8, 0.6 0.4 pan evaporation (E0) surface 1.0 IW/CPE with 50 mm depth) three (100% RDF, 75% RDF+25% RDF as vermicompost 50% RDF+50% vermicompost) was conducted during 2018-19 (11 months) on plant. Results showed that tall...

wild jujube, ziziphus lotus, is a multipurpose xerophytic shrub of the rhamnaceae family widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of tunisia, where it occupies most soil types. the fruit is the edible part of the plant by local population. the reintroduction of this shrub requires the control of its multiplication in response to water shortage. this study aims to evaluate growth and wat...

Reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is a powerful method for evaluating patterns of gene expression. Jujube whole-genome sequencing has been completed, and analysis of gene function, an important part of any follow-up study, requires the appropriate selection of reference genes. Indeed, suitable reference gene selection for RT-qPCR is critical for ac...

Oligomeric proanthocyanidins were successfully identified by UHPLC-PDA-HRMS(n) in a selection of plant-derived materials (jujube fruit, Fuji apple, fruit pericarps of litchi and mangosteen, dark chocolate, and grape seed and cranberry extracts). The identities of 247 proanthocyanidins were theoretically predicted by computing high-accuracy masses based on the degree of polymerization, flavan-3-...

Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is an economically important fruit tree that highly adapted to marginal crop lands and can be grown under a very broad range of climate conditions. Jujube fruits produced from several traditional cultivars in Ningxia, China have enjoyed premium market price due their unique flavor quality attributes. One problem with the high-end adulteration cultivars. Th...
