It was investigated whether a standard mouse diet (AIN-76A) supplemented with walnuts reduced the establishment and growth of LNCaP human prostate cancer cells in nude (nu/nu) mice. The walnut-enriched diet reduced the number of tumors and the growth of the LNCaP xenografts; 3 of 16 (18.7%) of the walnut-fed mice developed tumors; conversely, 14 of 32 mice (44.0%) of the control diet-fed animal...

The promotional effect of Zn was investigated relative to the calcining activation HZSM-5. It found that lignin separated from walnut shell could be liquefied into small molecular ethers such as anisole by modified catalyst. Experimental results showed that, after loading Zn, HZSM-5 catalyst retained its original crystal structure, which exhibited good metal dispersion. Besides, due existence ...

In the present work, a new class of polymer composite is developed using walnut shell powder (WSP) as particulate filler in epoxy matrix. Three different sizes WSP are used for preparing three sets composites. The particle size selected 50-micron, 75-micron, and 100-micron. each set composites with size, four compositions i.e., 5 wt. %, 10 15 % 20 fabricated. All prepared have undergone testing...

most of walnut production in iran comes from seed originated trees with low quality and quantity as product. for breeding new cultivar(s), from 1983 selection of iranian walnut germplasm was started at seed and plant improvement institute and at the first phase 117 genotypes were collected. seedlings of these genotypes were planted in kamalshahr (karaj), torogh, kahriz and bastam horticultural ...

There is extensive evidence that walnut consumption is protective against cardiovascular disease and diabetes in the healthy population, but the beneficial effects of walnut consumption in individuals with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) remain uncertain. We compared a range of cardio-metabolic traits and related tissue gene expression associated with 21 weeks of dietary walnut supplementation in...

The effects of extraction solvents (hexane, ethyl-acetate, acetone, ethanol, methanol, and water) on the content of phytochemicals including total polyphenols, flavonoids and condensed tannins, as well as antioxidant activities of walnut green husk were investigated. The results showed that extraction solvents significantly affected phytochemicals content and antioxidant activities of walnut gr...

due to the complex assessment of young walnut cultivars (juglansregia l.) based on morphological traits, advance molecular tools have provided a new prospect for cultivar identification and dna fingerprinting. in this study, specific molecular keys were identified for 5 iranian walnut cultivars (juglansregia l.) using 30 ssr markers. the results showed that 5 ssr markers produced polymorphic ba...
