as: Hama e Associa Abstract This study was designed to evaluate effect of trigonelline and ethanol extract of Iraqi Fenugreek seeds on oxidative stress in alloxan diabetic rabbits. Oral dose of (10 mg/12 h) isolated trigonelline or (7.7 ml/12 h) of ethanol extract of Iraqi Fenugreek seeds was administered to the rabbits for four weeks. Plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH), as oxid...

Micronutrients Mn and Zn are essential elements required in trace amounts, although they play an important role plant growth. This study aimed to investigate the impact of manganese (Mn) zinc (Zn) fertilizer on growth productivity sorghum. was conducted farmer’s field at Pasar 6 Kwala Mencirim Village, Sei Bingai District, Langkat Regency, North Sumatera started December 2020 until April 2021. ...

Protein and DNA polymorphismswere surveyed among seven accessions of wild fenugreek (Trigonellafoenum-graecum L.) to estimate their genetic diversity and relationships. Samples were obtained from diverse ecogeographical areas in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis of seed storage protein showed genetic variations among fenugreek ...

In the present study, investigations were carried out to screen the anticancer activities of fenugreek seed oil against cancer cell lines (HEp-2, MCF-7, WISH cells), and a normal cell line (Vero cells). Cytotoxicity was assessed with MTT and NRU assays, and cellular morphological alterations were studied using phase contrast light microscopy. All cells were exposed toi 10-1000 μg/ml of fenugree...

OBJECTIVE Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia condition resulting from defective insulin secretion or resistance insulin action, or both. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 6 weeks swimming training and Trigonella foenum-graecum seed (fenugreek) extract, alone and in combination, on plasma glucose and cardiac antioxidant...

Differences in stored-product psocid progeny production as a function of commodity type, percentage of cracked kernels, and wheat class were examined using laboratory bioassays. Population growth of Liposcelis bostrychophila Badonnel, Liposcelis decolor (Pearman), Liposcelis paeta Pearman, and Liposcelis entomophila (Enderlein) (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae) was highest on sorghum Sorghum bicolor...

Crop residues have been considered during the past decade as alternate energy sources to supplement dwindling fossil fuel sources and enhance energy independence in the United States. Agricultural scientists have demonstrated the importance of crop residues in reducing soil erosion, enhancing the soil physical environment for plant growth, and as a reserve for major crop nutrients. In eastern N...

The effects of phytase and tannase enzyme treatment sorghum-based broiler diets on ileal villi characteristics were evaluated in Cobb 500 broilers. A total three sorghum levels, 0, 50, 100%, with 4 levels; 5% phytase, phytase+tannase combination used to develop 12 different dietary treatments. Three hundred sixty broilers randomly allocated the treatments a completely randomized design experime...

Seedlings of both KS8 and N32 sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] were high in dhurrin [p-hydroxy-(S)-mandelonitrile-BD-glucoside] and thus in hydrocyanic acid potential (HCN-p), but the HCN-p of mature leaves from field-grown plants of KS8 was only about one-tenth as high as that of N32. A study of the inheritance of this large difference between KS8 and N32 revealed that a single major gene...

Sorghum prolamins, termed kafirins, are categorized into subgroups α, β, and γ. The kafirins are co-translationally translocated to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where they are assembled into discrete protein bodies that tend to be poorly digestible with low functionality in food and feed applications. As a means to address the issues surrounding functionality and digestibility in sorghum, we ...
