introduction: type ii diabetes is one of the most prevalent endocrine diseases in the world that results from a combination of insulin resistance and ß-cell failure. regarding importance of nutritional factors in management of diabetes, this study was designed to explore the effect of sesame oil on blood glucose and lipid profile in type ii diabetic patients at yazd diabetes research center in ...

possibly involved in the regulation of sleep. The present study was designed to investigate the role of brain monoamines in the sleep disorder of MMC-dosed rats and attempts to elucidate the MMC-induced sleep disorder from the standpoint of changes in the concentrations of brain monoamines. MMC was administered orally to 12 Sprague-Dawley male rats 8 weeks age at a dose of 15 mg MMC/kg body wei...

Waterlogging is a common adverse environmental condition that limits plant growth. Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is considered a drought-tolerant oil crop but is typically susceptible to harmful effects from waterlogging. The present study used comparative analysis to explore the waterlogging stress response associated with two sesame genotypes. The RNA-seq dataset generated during a time course of ...

Background and objectives: Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seeds have been a well-known oil crop in the world for many centuries. Lignans are functionally important compartments of sesame. Sesamin and sesamol are the main sesame lignans, which have recently shown various activities with health benefits, like anti-oxidative, anti-proliferative, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-in...

The mammalian lignans enterolactone and enterodiol, which are produced by the microflora in the colon of humans and animals from precursors in foods, have been suggested to have potential anticancer effects. This study determined the production of mammalian lignans from precursors in food bars containing 25 g unground whole flaxseed (FB), sesame seed (SB), or their combination (FSB; 12.5 g each...

Oil content, fatty acid composition and the distribution of vitamin-E-active compounds of selected Turkish seeds that are typically by-products of the food processing industries (linseed, apricot, pear, fennel, peanut, apple, cotton, quince and chufa), were determined. The oil content of the samples ranged from 16.9 to 53.4 g/100 g. The dominating fatty acids were oleic acid (apricot seed oil, ...

A voltammetric electronic tongue to classify five different types of edible oil samples is described in this study. The standard three-electrode configuration composes the sensor array: gold electrode, platinum electrode and saturated calomel electrode. Using cyclic voltammetric measurement, respectively, on five different types of edible oil samples (peanut oil, corn oil, soybean oil, sesame o...
