The black-bone silky fowl peptide (BSFP) was produced by enzymatic digestion of black-bone silky fowl. The peptide sequences in BSFP were identified by HPLC-MS/MS technique and found to contain four peptides (EF, EEL, EHPT, and AGGF). The positive effects of BSFP and the four characteristic peptides in antioxidant and immunomodulation were verified experimentally. Abstract Black-bone silky fowl (Gallus gallus domesticus Brisson) is considered to have strengthening effect on the body and immunomodulatory effects. The black-bone silky fowl peptide (BSFP) was produced by enzymatic digestion of ..read more

Moringa oleifera extract was prepared using various parts of the moringa plant, and oral administration in rats produced neuroprotective action against various neurological disorders via increasing the expression of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling and decreasing NFκB expression. As a result, it inhibits ROS generation, apoptosis, and inflammation. In the future, for enhancing the bioavailability of moringa, nanoparticle-based approach could be used to treat brain disorders. Abstract Moringa oleifera is a traditional Indian herb belonging to the Moringaceae family, it is commonly known as the horse-radis ..read more

Antidiabetic and ACE inhibitory peptides from fermented dromedary camel milk (Indian Breed) with Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (M11) and anti-inflammatory property in RAW 264.7 cells. Abstract The goal of this investigation was to find antidiabetic peptides and inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (M11) fermented dromedary camel milk (Camelus dromedaries). According to the findings, the rate of antidiabetic activity increased along with the incubation periods and reached its peak after 48 hr of fermentation. The inhibitions of α-amylase, α-glucosidase, a ..read more

Effect of yoghurt supplemented with rice dietary fibers (RDF), rice bran (RB), wheat dietary fibers (WDF), or wheat brans (WB) on hypercholesterolemic rats. Abstract This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of yoghurt supplementation with rice and wheat brans or dietary fibers on serum lipid profile, liver, and heart functionalities, and hepatopathological aspects of the liver of hypercholesterolemic rats. 48 male rats were divided into 8 groups. Group 1 was kept as negative control and fed with a standard diet, and groups 2 to 6 were fed a hypercholesterolemia-induced diet supplemen ..read more

Abstract The effect of chlorogenic acid (a natural phenolic acid ubiquitous in plant foods) on selected therapeutic properties of donepezil (DON) in a scopolamine (SCOP)-induced rat model of amnesia was the focus of this study. Adult albino (Wister strain) rats were allocated into five groups (n = 11) consisting of control, SCOP, SCOP + chlorogenic acid (CGA), SCOP + DON, and SCOP + CGA + DON for 7 days. Post-treatment, the rat brain cerebral cortex homogenate was assayed for cholinesterase and monoamine oxidase activities. Also, the reactive oxygen species, total thiol and nitric ox ..read more

Abstract Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI), widely recognized as prickly pear, is native to Mexico and it is distributed in many areas of the world because of its socioeconomic, agronomic, and ecological benefits, besides its large amounts of functional, nutraceutical, and biological activities. Various parts of this plant including the fruit pulp and peel, cladode, and seeds are scientifically proven to have therapeutic potentials and are safe for human use. The contents of phytochemical compounds in each part of the OFI are different. Each pharmacological activity depends on the phytochemical comp ..read more

Chlorogenic acid improved food allergy in the BALB/C mice. Chlorogenic acid improved food allergy by the regulation of AMPK/ACC/CPT-1 pathway. Fatty acid oxidation is related to food allergy. Abstract Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a polyphenol prevalent in daily food and plants. Food allergy (FA) can lead to metabolic disorders of the immune system. The objective of this study was to investigate CGA therapeutic effect on FA and regulatory mechanism through shrimp food allergy in mice models. Here, 24 female BALB/C mice were randomly allocated into the (I) Control group, (II) Food allergy group ..read more

Abstract The rural communities of the sub-Sahara regions in Africa are rich in diverse indigenous culinary knowledge and foods, food crops, and condiments such as roots/tubers, cereal, legumes/pulses, locust beans, and green leafy vegetables. These food crops are rich in micronutrients and phytochemicals, which have the potentials to address hidden hunger as well as promote health when consumed. Some examples of these are fermented foods such as ogi and plants such as Vernonia amygdalina (bitter leaf), Zingiber officinales (garlic), Hibiscus sabdariffa (Roselle), and condiments. Food crops fro ..read more
