Introduction: Excessive iron deposition is often associated with neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington’s Chorea [1]. Quantitative measurement of regional iron deposition in the brain may help with diagnosis and assessment of disease progression. In order to use iron deposition as a new biomarker to stratify the stages of diseases, it i...

Sitagliptin (SG) increases serum GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) through inhibition of the hormone degradation. Resistant starch (RS) induces GLP-1 expression by stimulating L-cells in the intestine. Sitagliptin and resistant starch may have a synergistic interaction in the induction of GLP-1. This possibility was tested in current study in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes. Hyperglycemia was in...

Background: With the increasing awareness in public on health and nutrition, mushrooms have gained more popularity recent times for its nutritional, benefits culinary value. These are excellent source of vitamins minerals. Hence, often called as “White Vegetable” They regarded one superfoods due to their high nutrient content well healing properties. Methods: The present study was carried with ...

ABSTRACT: This research assessed the phenolic composition of Jussara pulp from Brazilian states Minas Gerais (MG) and Espírito Santo (ES) using HPLC-DAD-MS/MS. Seventeen anthocyanins were detected in fruits, derived cyanidin, pelargonidin peonidin. Among non-anthocyanic compounds, flavonols (kaempferol, quercetin isorhamnetin derivatives), flavan-3-ols (catechin, epicatechin, B-type procyanidin...

The antidiabetic and hypoglycaemic effect of Avena sativa, Hordeum vulgare Echinochloa frumentacea has been explored proved. aim this study was to investigate proximate, essential fatty acids quantitative analysis phytochemicals in frumentacea. These cereals not only help prevent many diseases but also used as functional ingredients. This includes the estimation moisture, ash, fat, fiber, prote...

The biochemical composition of the seed, fruit-pulp and fruit-skin false yam African star apple was carried out in this study using standard techniques. result mean phytochemical Icacina senegalensis Chrysophyllum albidum fruits revealed higher tannin pulp, seed I. senegalensis, while alkaloid flavonoid pulp (24.22±0.141mg/100g 16.53±0.021mg/100g), (25.35± 0.021mg/100g 18.27±0.014mg/100g)and ba...

We examined for first time the ripened fruits of Indian yellow raspberry (Rubus ellipticus Smith) (RE), an under exploited fruit from the Nilgiris, India, for its polyphenolic compounds and in vitro antioxidant/radical scavenging ability. The fruit yielded phenolic content (TPh) of 6100 ± 0.082 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100g of fresh material (FM) and total flavonoid content (TFl) of 320...

Six orange-fleshed sweetpotato genotypes, namely, Naspot-12, Umuspo-1, Lourdes, Erica, Delvia and umuspo-3, sourced from National Root Crops Research Institute, Umudike were evaluated for fresh storage root yield, dry matter, starch Beta-carotene content in 2020 2021 cropping seasons at the Teaching Farm of University Uyo. The experiment was laid a randomized complete block design with three re...

This incubation trial was carried out to determine the effect of urea amendment cocoa pods husk (CP) and coffee wastes (CW) on their ability improve some physico-chemical properties potassium availability in a Ferralsol Western region Cameroon. It conducted using completely randomized design consisting seven treatments three replications. Modalities included doses (0; 0.003 0.006g per 100g dry ...
