This study investigated whether decaffeinated green coffee bean extract prevents obesity and improves insulin resistance and elucidated its mechanism of action. Male C57BL/6N mice (N = 48) were divided into six dietary groups: chow diet, HFD, HFD-supplemented with 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.9% decaffeinated green coffee bean extract, and 0.15% 5-caffeoylquinic acid. Based on the reduction in HFD-induced...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgar is L.) demand is increasing with an alarming rate around the world, especially in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Therefore, increased bean yield per hectare i.s the best way to meet the world demand rather than expansion of area under cultivation. The objectives of this experiment were to determine the genotypic variations for green bean and dry seed yield and ma...

This study was carried out to assess the economic impacts of climate change on some major vegetable crops (potato, tomato and green bean) in Egypt and to predict the production, intended cultivated area and water requirements under increasing population annual growth rate of 2.07% with and without climate change during the period of 2025s2100s according to SRES A and B scenarios. The statistica...

Phenolic acids are thought to be beneficial for human health and responsible for vegetables' health-promoting properties. Free, conjugated, and bound phenolic acids of seven commonly consumed vegetables, including kidney bean, cow pea, snow pea, hyacinth bean, green soy bean, soybean sprouts and daylily, from the regions of Beijing, Hangzhou, and Guangzhou, were identified and quantified by ult...

equal amounts of carbohydrates from various foodstuffs do not increase blood glucose to the same extent. this study was carried out, therefore, in 1996 at the national nutrition and food technology research institute in tehran to determine the glycemic index of split pease, rice (binam), kidney beans, green peas, “lavash” bread and broad bean kernels. diabetic subjects were studied in a clinica...
