Walnut is extensively used in traditional medicine for treatment of various ailments. It is described as an anticancer, anti-inflammatory, blood purifier and antioxidant agent. In this study, we investigated whether or not Walnut could protect neurons against cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity in rats. Dietary walnut (6%) was assessed for its neuroprotective effects through the alteration in perfo...

Hybrid aluminum composites obtained with stir casting were investigated in this study. Aluminum alloy EN AW 6061 was reinforced particles of Al2O3 and walnut-shell ash (WSA). The weight fraction constant (5 w/%) for the ash, it (1, 2 3) w/%. morphology particle distribution examined an optical microscope scanning electron microscope. Microstructural studies showed a uniform all samples. A chemi...

Regular walnut consumption is associated with better health. We have previously shown that eight weeks of walnut consumption (43 g/day) significantly improves lipids in healthy subjects. In the same study, gut microbiome was evaluated. We included 194 healthy subjects (134 females, 63 ± 7 years, BMI 25.1 ± 4.0 kg/m²) in a randomized, controlled, prospective, cross-over study. Following a nut-fr...

High quality material production has been among the work of many researchers in recent years. These materials, which are obtained mostly by composite enable lighter, more durable and less costly products. Increasing environmental pollution years, protection natural resources ensuring recycling have increased importance wood plastic production. In this study, was using ABS (Acrylonitrile butadie...

Four lignocellulosic materials (walnut shell, chestnut pine wood and burnt wood) were analyzed as biosorbents to remove nickel ions in aqueous solution. The optimal pH condition was determined. Due this, a range of different pHs (3.0 7.5) tested. adsorption isotherms kinetics established. To plot Langmuir Freundlich isotherms, batch tests made with variable concentrations (5 200 mg L−1). pseudo...

walnuts are one of the most important nut crops worldwide. the area under cultivation increases every year. in 2008, the food and agriculture organization reported exports of about $17.1 billion. the country of iran is the 4th largest producer of walnuts in the world. stages from production to consumption are very important, because the condition and quality of the shelled nutmeats affects the ...

Introduction: Lipid oxidation, including LDL oxidation, plays a pivotal role in development of atherosclerosis. Supplementing diet with antioxidants, such as vitamin E and walnut husk hydroalcoholic extract, may prevent LDL oxidation. In the present study, we investigated the in vitro effects of walnut husk hydroalcoholic extract on serum LDL oxidation caused by copper sulfate. Method: Blood sa...
