Authors: Dawood, Mona G.; Advisor: -; Participants: Sadak, Mervat Sh.; Bakry, Bakry A.; Kheder, Howida H. (2020) - The results indicate that the Gemmeiza-11 cultivar was the most adapted cultivar to grow in the Nubaria region. Individually, glutathione at 300 mg/l or selenium at 10 mg/l caused the highest significant increases in shoot dry weight/plant of three wheat cultivars relative to other levels. Likewise, glutathione treatment at 300 mg/l was the optimum treatment in increasing photosynthetic pigments in three wheat cultivars. Selenium treatment at 10 mg/l was better than selenium treatment at 5 mg/l. Interaction between glutathione at 300 mg/l and selenium at 10 mg/l caused the highest significance increases in total photosynthetic pigments. It is obvious that glutathione at 300 mg/l or selenium at 10 mg/l as individual treatment showed the highest significant increase in grain yield (to...

Authors: Pandi, Anandakumar; Advisor: -; Participants: Kalappan, Vanitha Manickam; Chandrashekar, Naveenkumar (2022) - The awareness in the consumption of plant-based food has gained attention in the recent years. Phytochemicals are thought to play a critical role in health promotion and in the prevention and management of chronic diseases. These compounds have reported to produce little or no side effects and are thus significantly used in treating various ailments. D-Pinitol is the chief active compound found in soy and soy products. Several studies have shown the health benefits of D-pinitol such as antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. In this review, an attempt has been made to review the effects of D-pinitol against diabetes mellitus in pre-clinical and clinical studies.

(2022) - Body weight of 14 days treatment of coconut water on CCl4-induced toxicity
Figure 1 represents the protective effect of coconut water on body weight of CCl4-induced toxicity in both male and female rats. No significant changes (p > 0.05) in body weight were observed in both sexes in all the treatment groups.

Authors: Oyawoye, O. M.; Advisor: -; Participants: Olotu, T. M.; Nzekwe, S. C.; Idowu, J. A.; Abdullahi, T. A.; Babatunde, S. O.; Ridwan, I. A.; Batiha, Gaber E.; Idowu, Nike; Alorabi, Mohammed; Faidah, Hani (2022) - The total phenolic contents of A. cepa and A. Sativum are represented in Figs. 1 and 2 and Table 1. The phenolic contents of A. cepa (onions) and A. sativum (garlic) are interpreted in Table 1 for both the aqueous extract and ethanol extracts. The highest phenolic content was observed in the A. cepa aqueous extract and the lowest in A. sativum ethanol extracts. Garlic, red, brown, and white onions showed a varying number of phytochemicals. The aqueous extract of A. cepa (0.5550 ± 0.36) and A. Sativum (0.2543 ± 0.21) was significantly higher in phenolic content compared to the ethanolic extract (0.1520 ± 0.15) and 0.1322 ± 0.10, respectively

Authors: Olarotimi, Olumuyiwa Joseph; Advisor: -; Participants: - (2020) - The results revealed that MSG inclusion above 0.75 g/kg diet significantly (P < 0.05) increased the serum Na+ and K+ concentrations of the broiler chickens when compared with birds on the control diet, whereas the serum Cl− concentration significantly (P < 0.05) decreased from 0.50 g MSG/kg diet inclusion level. On the other hand, MSG inclusion level above 0.50 g/kg diet increased the serum MDA concentration (from 2.60 ± 0.01 to 4.60 ± 0.00) of the birds while serum GSH-Px and T-AOC concentrations significantly (P < 0.05) reduced from 170 ± 0.28 to 120 ± 0.26 and 3.30 ± 0.01 to 1.70 ± 0.01, respectively.

Authors: Napoli, Agnese Di; Advisor: -; Participants: Zucchetti, Pietro (2021) - We searched for the main medicinal properties of Taraxacum officinale in the scientific literature, using the PubMed database. We selected 54 studies and we described twelve therapeutic properties, which are reported in previous studies. These properties are diuretic, hepatoprotective, anticolitis, immunoprotective, antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, antiarthritic, antidiabetic, antiobesity, antioxidant and anticancer effects. We also found that the most frequently reported therapeutic effects include hepatoprotective, antioxidant and anticancer activities.

Authors: Chakraborty, Sourav; Advisor: -; Participants: Majumder, Soumya; Ghosh, Arindam; Saha, Sumedha; Bhattacharya, Malay (2021) - DPPH scavenging activity of solvent extracts showed more potential towards the polar end with its maximum activity in methanolic extract (84.64%). Acetone extract showed more ferric reducing power than the ethanol fractions. Maximum flavonoid quantification was recorded in ethanol extract. GC–MS of methanolic extract detected 39 compounds of which 22 have preventive and curing properties for several ailments. Thirteen compounds were reported with antioxidant activity and cover an area of 63.92% among the total detected compounds by GC–MS. 1,3,4,5-Tetrahydroxy-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid; Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester; ß sitosterol and Phytol are present in significant quantity and are the prime candidates conferring antioxidant potential. Chromatographically fractionalized methanol...

Authors: Moruf, Rasheed Olatunji; Advisor: -; Participants: - (2021) - Protein formed the highest percentage both in raw and steamed samples with the mean values of 47.61 g/100 g and 46.04 g/100 g respectively. The total mineral content was higher in raw sample (237.40 mg 100 g−1) than in steamed sample (201.05 mg 100 g−1), in the decreasing order of phosphorus > sodium > calcium > potassium > magnesium. Raw sample had the highest proportion of energy contribution, which was from protein (PEP = 53.1%), while the least energy contribution was from fat (PEF = 3.1%) in steamed sample. The cholesterol content of raw T. fuscatus var radula was 0.15 ± 0.01 mg/100 g, being reduced by steaming to 0.12 ± 0.02 mg/100 g, while a nonsignificantly lower percentage of oleic was also observed in steamed sample (0.98 ± 0.01%). After steaming, the values of TBA, ascorb...
