Increased plasma lipid profiles are among the most important risk factors of CHD and stroke. Sesame contains considerable amounts of vitamin E, MUFA, fibre and lignans, which are thought to be associated with its plasma lipid-lowering properties. This study aimed to systematically review the evidence and identify the effects of sesame consumption on blood lipid profiles using a meta-analysis of...

The sequencing of the full nuclear genome of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) provides the platform for functional analyses of genome components and their application in breeding programs. Although the importance of microsatellites markers or simple sequence repeats (SSR) in crop genotyping, genetics, and breeding applications is well established, only a little information exist concerning SSRs at t...

this study evaluated the effects of 0.25% activated charcoal added to sesame seed meal (ssm) in partial replacement of soybean meal (sbm) of juvenile clarias gariepinus diet on growth and haematological parameters for 70 day experimental period. six experimental diets were formulated as: control diet 1 (100% ssm without activated charcoal), control diet 2 (100% ssm plus 0.25% activated charcoal...

sesame oil cake (ssc) was bio-processed through solid state fermentation (ssf) under optimized conditions by a phytase-producing fish gut bacterium, bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis (jx292128). ssf significantly reduced anti-nutritional factors (e.g., phytic acid, tannins and trypsin inhibitor) and crude fibre, while enhanced free amino acids, fatty acids and different minerals. phytase product...

Introduction Passerelle is a plug-in developed for Protégé to support Sesame. It provides Protégé users with the possibility to connect their ontologies with Sesame architecture in order to store and query resource description framework (RDF) data from Protégé [1]. We have identified a lack of a strong query language in the previous versions of Protégé (versions preceding Protégé 3.0), which we...

Sesamin, the major lignan found in sesame, has been shown to increase vitamin E levels by inhibiting its metabolism via the cytochrome P450 isozyme CYP4F2. CYP4F2 and CYP4A11 are the predominant human isoforms that synthesize 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) from arachidonic acid. Considerable evidence suggests that 20-HETE may play a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. We hypoth...

in order to evaluate the effect of intercropping with replacement and additive series for hemp (cannabis sativa l.) and sesame (sesamum indicum l.), a field experiment was conducted during growing season 2006-07 at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. a randomized complete block design with three replications was used. treatments included different combinat...

This article deals with the study of antiwear and antifriction properties of bitter rapeseed oil and sesame oil and their blends containing numerous amounts of benzoic acid at variable temperatures. The experimental results indicate that bitter rapeseed oil exhibits good antiwear and antifriction properties as compared to sesame oil under the same experimental conditions. The addition of benzoi...

Sesame [2] is an RDF framework with support for RDF Schema inferencing. Its main features include querying in three languages (SeRQL, RDQL, RQL), parsing and writing in several serialization syntaxes, support for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and SQL server as well as in-memory. It can be deployed as an RDF database, with persistence in an RDBMS, or as a Java library for embedded use in application...

Results Celery: four studies reported on the prevalence of celery allergy in Europe, which ranged between 2.8-11.1% based on sensitisation, and 5.5% for self-reported celery allergy. In terms of the rest of the world, only one study in Taiwan reported sensitisation rates of 1.8%. Lupin: no population-based studies examined the prevalence of lupin allergy worldwide. Mustard: only one study (cond...
