BACKGROUND Favism occurs as the result of intolerance to the ingesting of fava beans or to the inhalation of pollen from the Vicia faba plant. Patients with favism are always Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-deficient, but not all G6PD-deficient individuals develop hemolysis as a result of fava beans consumption. PATIENTS AND METHODS Blood samples were collected from children with fav...

The Pseudomonas aeruginosa fabA and fabB genes, encoding b-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein dehydratase and b-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase I, respectively, were cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. Northern analysis demonstrated that fabA and fabB are cotranscribed and most probably form a fabAB operon. The FabA and FabB proteins were similar in size and amino acid co...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of selected bean cultivars with different levels of anti-nutritional substances on performance and metabolism of dairy cows. In the current twelve-week-long study, 32 dairy cows at 3 to 6 weeks after parturition were divided into four groups. Diets were balanced to have an analogical content of crude protein and energy. Experimental groups (MI, ...

in order to evaluate the density, population and insect fauna diversity and agronomical yield in intercropping faba bean (vicia faba l.) andcoriander (coriandrum sativum l.), a field experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the farm located in nagadeh, west azerbaijan province, iran during growing season in 2012-2013. treatments included 75...

Starch and fibre contribute to the energy components add functionality end-product feed ingredients. An understanding of impact processing on carbohydrate content will support accurate formulation feed. Six ingredients, grown or sourced in Canada, were used this study. They included five pulses, Amarillo peas, Dun chickpeas, lentils, faba beans, soybean meal (SBM) as a comparison. All ingredien...

Most pulse (nonoilseed legume) seed flours can be fractionated rapidly and economically by air classification into protein and starch concentrates. The nutritional value of air-classified field pea and faba bean concentrates requires characterization to assess the feeding opportunity for pigs. Thus, the objectives were to characterize the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of DM, OM, ene...

Demand for bean products is growing because of the presence of several health-promoting components in edible bean products such as phytates. Phytates are a naturally occurring compound, which is distributed widely in all cells of legume plants. Clinical studies have suggested that these health-promoting components, phytates, affect the immune system to protect the human body against cancers, an...
