The Amazon region has many sources of fruits, especially native ones not yet explored, but which have some potential for use, as is the case with certain palms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the content of bioactive compounds and total antioxidant capacities of fruits from native palms from the Brazilian Amazon. The fruits of five palm species (bacaba, buriti, inajá, pupunha, and ...

Daily application of cortisone acetate (10mg/100g body wt.) or L-tri-iodothyronine (20 microng/100g body wt.) to female rats in the last (third) week of pregnancy elicits a precocious appearance of jejunal sucrase in their foetuses.

Chemical composition and protein quality of raw and heat-processed (boiled and autoclaved) samples of selected advanced breeding lines of lima beans (Tpl 1, Tpl 7 and Tpl 175), part of a larger collection developed by the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA), and evaluated in agronomic field trials in Nigeria, were studied. Protein quality was evaluated using weanling albino ...

Adult-onset hypothyroidism induces a variety of impairments on hippocampus-dependent neurocognitive functioningin which many synaptic proteins in hippocampus neurons are involved. Here, we observed the effect of adult-onset hypothyroidism on the expression of syntaxin-1 and munc-18 in the dorsal hippocampus and whether the altered proteins could be restored by levothyroxine (T4) treatment. All ...

Abstract Sweet potato are potential to be utilized as replacer or substitution agent for rice Indonesian. It provides some good nutrients maintain healthy degree. has a high energy content, protein, fat, and considerable dietary fiber. Four of sweet varieties (i.e. Beta 1, 2, Antin 3 ) contain bioactive compounds such anthocyanin beta-carotene. 1 had more beta carotene (13.01±1.73 mg/100g) than...

In this research, pomegranate molasses, sour sauces and jams were evaluated in terms of some physicochemical properties including hydroxymethylfurfural, total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity bioaccessibility. While ascorbic acid these products ranged between 0.89-19.78 mg 100g-1, contents changed 31.40-2061.10 gallic equivalent 100g-1. Antioxidant capacities the determined as 34.01-2377....
