Polypeptide assemblies cross-linked by S-S bonds (molecular mass>200 kDa) and single polypeptides folded with internal S-S cross-links (<41 kDa) have been detected by SDS/PAGE in particulate membranes and soluble extracts of developing cotyledons of nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus L.). When first prepared from fruit homogenates, these polypeptides were found to bind reversibly to UDP-Gal (labelled...

Objective: Very recent studies have reported positive effects of dietary nitrate on the oxygen consumption during exercise. This research aimed to study the effect of moderate dose of high-nitrate vegetables, watercress (Nasturtium officinale) and red radish (Raphanus sativus) compared with a control group on the incremental treadmill exercise test following a standard Bruce protocol controlled...

Background: Treating infertility doesn’t merely deal with advanced medical procedures. The effects of most of herbal drugs is not clearly established on fertility potential. One of this herbal formula is NOFODA comprising of Orchis mascula, Tribulus terrestris, Amygdalus communis, Ficus carica, Allium ampeloprasum, Nasturtium officinale and pollen of Phoenix dactylifera. In this study, the effe...

For determining interactive plant-bacterial effects between glucosinolates and phyllospheric colonization by a plant growth-promoting strain, Enterobacter radicincitans DSM 16656, in cruciferous vegetables, the extent of bacterial colonization was assessed in 5 cruciferous vegetables (Brassica juncea, Brassica campestris, Brassica oleracea var. capitata, Brassica rapa var. alboglabra, Nasturtiu...

Calcium absorption was measured in ten male volunteers from skimmed milk, Ca-enriched skimmed milk or watercress (Nasturtium officinale) soup. The foods were labelled extrinsically with 30 mg 44Ca. Shortly after consuming the labelled meal, each subject was given an intravenous injection of 3 mg 42Ca. Fractional absorption from the oral dose was determined from plasma and urine samples collecte...

Due to the side effects of antibiotics used in treatment diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria, and antibiotic resistance that develops due misuse antibiotics, scientists have turned search for alternative antimicrobial compounds. Plants compounds plants are widely researched because they natural been a familiar resource field complementary medicine centuries. In this study, activities methano...
