Background: Nigella sativa (N. sativa) has been used in traditional medicine and many studies have been performed in different communities in order to reveal the effects of it on medical disorders and chronic diseases. Purpose: The aim of this study was the investigation of effects of bread with N. sativa on hematologic factors in metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients. Material and methods: A randomized, double-blind, cross-over, clinical trial was conducted in 51 MetS patients of both sexes with age group of 20-65 years old in Chalus, north of Iran. Patients randomly divided in two groups. In phase 1, Intervention group (A, n =27) received daily a regular bread with N. sativa and wheat bran and control group (B, n=24) received the same bread without N. sativa for 2 month. After 2 weeks wash out period, phase 2 was started with replacement of two groups. Measuring of red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), prothrombin time(Pt), hematocrite (Hct) and hemoglobin (Hb) was performed for patients in before and after of two phases. Results: In this study evaluated treatment, sequence and time effects of crossover intervention and revealed that consumption of bread with N. sativa has not significant treatment and sequence effects on RBC, WBC, PT, Hct and Hb (p>0.05). Time effect was only significant on RBC (P 0.05). Conclusion: Consumption of bread with N. sativa has not significant effect on hematologic factors in MetS patients.

The present study was conducted to investigate the nutritional composition of the haulms of commonly grown 5 potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars (Milva, Laura, Granola, Europrima and Jelly). Plant materials were harvested from potato production fields of Efsane Seed Company just before tuber harvest. Current findings revealed that green herbage yields of potato haulms varied between 416.51 and 670.32 kg/da, dry herbage yields between 381.62 and 527.24 kg/da, crude protein (CP) ratios between 10.85-14.48%, crude ash (CA) ratios between 5.22 and 9.10%, acid detergent fiber (ADF) ratios between 22.46 and 33.94%, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) ratios between 47.99 and 60.91%. Gas production values varied between 33.15 and 47.56 mL, methane productions between 5.27 and 8.35 mL, metabolic energy (ME) values between 7.45 and 9.29 MJ/kg DM and organic matter digestibility (OMD) values between 50.77-63.69%. Considering the mineral content of potato haulms, iron contents varied between 47.35 and 180.07, manganese contents between 28.14 and 85.15, cobalt contents between 0.43 and 1.13, nickel contents between 3.40 and 8.60, copper contents between 10.84 and 15.35, zinc contents between 4.14 and 15.60, cadmium contents between 1.02 and 1.55 and lead contents between 6.74 and 9.80 mg/kg/DM. It was concluded based on current findings from the haulms of five different potato cultivars that haulms had quite high feed quality values. With rich mineral contents, haulms may eliminate supplementary mineral requirements of livestock. Therefore, it can be stated that haulms of all five cultivars can be used as an alternative feed source for animals.

Pregnancy is hyperglycemic cycle of life and usually associated with insulin resistance from mid- gestation. Previous studies indicate that abnormal production of some proteins secreted from adipocytes (adipokines) encloses in pathogenesis of insulin resistance and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). It is proven that maternal zinc deficiency affects glucose metabolism, but the interaction between zinc and adipokines secretion are not well understood. This study aims to evaluate the effect of zinc supplementation on Vaspin and IL-6 levels in pregnant women with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). In this matched, placebo controlled double blind clinical trial, 46 pregnant women with impaired glucose tolerance were randomly distributed to zinc (n=23) and placebo (n=23) groups and received 30 mg/day zinc gluconate or placebo for eight regular weeks. The study was conducted in Shabestar district, North West of Iran. Serum Vaspin and IL-6 levels were assessed before and after intervention. There was a significant decrease in Vaspin and IL-6 levels in zinc group (p= 0.004, p= 0.034, respectively). Further, changes in fasting Vaspin levels had a positive correlation with change in fasting IL-6 levels in both zinc (r= + 0.820, p<0.001) and placebo (r= + 1.000, p<0.001) groups. According to enhancement of inflammatory cytokines in pregnant women with IGT, zinc may be considered as a complimentary supplement together with medical management in patients with IGT and GDM. However, further studies with greater sample size and extended periods of intervention are needed to make definite conclusion.

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) plays a pivotal role in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Though hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of onion have been suggested in type 2 diabetes mellitus, still, lack of data exist to investigate its hypoglycemic effect in PCOS. Objective: to assess the effects of raw red onion consumption on IR markers in PCOS. Methods: In this randomized controlled-clinical trial, 53 overweight or obese non-diabetic patients with PCOS were randomly allocated to either group of high-onion (HO; raw red onions: 2×40-50 g/day for overweight and 2×50-60 g/day for obese patients) or low-onion (LO; raw red onions: 2×10-15 g/day) for an 8 weeks. Fasting and 2-hour blood sugar, insulin, total testosterone, and progesterone, as well as homeostasis model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) were measured at baseline and after treatment. IR was defined as HOMA-IR≥3.8 in PCOS. Anthropometric indices and dietary intake were also evaluated. Results: After 8 weeks, no differences were observed in the IR markers including HOMA-IR neither within nor between the HO (from 3.53±1.22 to 4.08±1.70; P=0.090) and LO groups (from 3.58±1.75 to 3.32±1.36; P=0.338). Anthropometric and dietary parameters did not differ between the two groups (P>0.050). However, a non-significant increase was observed in the rate of menses occurrence in HO (17%) compared to LO group (6%) after 8 weeks. Conclusions: Although raw red onion intake could not significantly improve IR markers in non-diabetic patients with PCOS, it could increase the chance of menses occurrence. Further investigations are warranted to determine the effects of onion in these patients.

This study investigated the quality, antioxidant activities, and sensory properties of Sulgidduk (rice cakes) upon the addition of radicchio (Cichorium intybus L.) powder, which is known to have antioxidant and anti-diabetic effects. Radicchio powder was freeze-dried, passed through a 40-mesh sieve, and used to replace 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, or 4% of the rice flour. The content of moisture in Sulgidduk did not significantly differ among samples (p<0.05). As the amount of radicchio powder increased, the pH value decreased slightly. Regarding color, the L-value decreased from 84.44 (control) to 45.91 (4% sample), and the a-value increased from -1.16 (control) to 5.20 (4% sample). The b-value increased from control to 2% samples, but then gradually decreased in the 3% and 4% samples. Though hardness and chewiness increased upon adding radicchio powder, the springiness and cohesiveness of the radicchio Sulgidduk samples were reduced when compared to these of the control samples (84.43% and 78.17%, respectively). Antioxidant activity of Sulgidduk increased significantly upon the addition of radicchio. For sensory evaluation, the 1% sample received the highest score (5.35) in overall acceptability. From these results, we determine that addition of 1% radicchio powder to Sulgidduk is suitable for producing the rice cake.

Nutraceutics are well-known for the individuals anxious to attenuate the impact of aging and mitigate the adverse effects of unhealthy lifestyle. Plant-based bioactive compounds are known to offer many health benefits. The objective of this study was to characterize selected phytochemicals and assess antioxidant capacity from citrus processing by-product. Processing waste from different varieties of citrus (oranges, grapefruit and musami) was utilized for the antioxidant indices for extraction with ethanol, methanol and water. The highest antioxidant potential in the form of TPC (206.53±6.82 mg GAE/100 g), flavonoids (83.06±2.74 mg/100 g), DPPH (62.80±2.07 µmole TE/g), ABTS (10.35±0.34 µmole TE/g) and FRAP (18.54±0.61 µmole TE/g) were found in grapefruit ethanolic extract, followed by oranges and musami peel extract. The highest ascorbic acid content (51.3±1.6 mg/100g) was observed in orange peel followed by that in grapefruit and musami peel extracts. On the basis of antioxidant profiling the ethanolic extract of each variety was quantified through HPLC that showed the highest concentration of hesperidin and nobiletin in grape fruit extract as 28.51 and 9.92 mg/g, respectively followed by oranges (24.96 and 7.31 mg/g) and musami (21.38 and 6.08 mg/g) extract.

Background: Nutrition in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) encounters a variety of challenges. This study aimed to examine the correlation of Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in traumatic ICU patients. Patients and Methods: Twenty five critically ill patients were recruited for assessment of the inflammatory factors’ correlation with the SOFA score. Statistical analyses were done using parametric tests. Results: Statistical analysis showed a strong correlation between TNF-α on day 3 of admission with SOFA scores on days 5 and 7 (r> 0.5). A similarly strong correlation also was seen between hs-CRP and SOFA on days 3 and 5 (r>0.5). Conclusion: The study results showed serum levels of TNF-α on day 3 of admission can predict organ dysfunction in traumatic ICU patients and TNF-α is a better prognostic factor than hs-CRP.

Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that begins during pregnancy. This problem causes many complications for mother and foetus. Mineral levels in diabetic patients change and since the levels of these elements have not received much attention in patients with impaired glucose tolerance test (IGT), in this study serum concentration of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and magnesium (Mg) were analysed in singleton pregnant women with IGT compared with euglycemic pregnant women. Methods: The subjects of this case-control study have been selected from pregnant women who referred to Rohzendeh health and therapeutic center in northwest of Iran from December 2013 - April 2014. 46 pregnant women with IGT and 35 euglycemic women were selected. The levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, zinc, copper and magnesium in the blood samples were measured. Results: The findings of this study indicated that the difference of hemoglobin and hematocrit and magnesium levels was not significant between two groups. The difference of copper concentration in healthy pregnant women and women with IGT was statistically significant (P<0.001) which indicated a high level of copper in healthy pregnant women. Interestingly, in pregnant women with IGT plasmatic zinc level was lower than healthy women (P= 0.028). Conclusions: Pregnancy is a condition that can affect the mineral status and to achieve better results, further researches are needed with larger sample size.

Background: In developing countries, maternal under-nutrition is one of the causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Good maternal nutritional status, resulting from long term dietary intake; also has great implications for neonatal health. The current study aimed at assessing the dietary intake of pregnant women and its associated socio demographic factors in Lahore, Pakistan. Methods: In a cross sectional survey 82 pregnant women were approached in a purposely selected tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan at the beginning of second trimester. Participants aged 19-45 years, were enrolled consecutively after taking written informed consent. Socio-demographics were recorded by a structured, pre-tested questionnaire. Maternal dietary intake was assessed by 24-hr Recall and Food Frequency Checklist. Data was collected from April-September 2013. Results were analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results: Mean age of the participants was 26 years, mean height was 157 cm, mean weight was 70 kg and mean BMI was 28.5 kg/m2. Self report decrease in dietary intake was 48% (n=39), while 33% (n=47) reported an increase and 62% (n=51) reported to be moderately active. Food frequency checklist revealed that chapatti was the staple; and 98% (n=81) consumed it daily. Data analysis of 24 hour recall highlighted that 98% (n=81) were unable to fulfill their caloric requirements. 91.5% (n=75) of the participants were consuming inadequately from vegetable group, 73.2% (n=60) from milk group, 63.3% (n=52) from fruit group, 26.8% (n=22) from cereal group and 25.3% (n=21) from meat group. Among age, education, employment, parity and income, it was revealed that age less than 24 years was associated with inadequate intake of all food groups and calories except meat intake although the association was not statistically significant. Conclusion: It was concluded that dietary intake of pregnant women in Pakistan is far from satisfactory. Antenatal nutritional counseling and mass media campaigns can be helpful in raising awareness.

The objectives of this research were to investigate the interrelationships among some mineral concentrations (Fe, Zn, B, Mn, Cu, Mo, K, Mg and Ca) in grain and to evaluate different eastern Anatolian bread landraces with application of the genotype × trait (GT) biplot methodology in visualizing research data. 69 bread wheat genotypes (67 pure lines and 2 cultivars). Fe, Zn, B, Mn, Cu, Mo, K, Mg and Ca contents of bread wheat genotypes changed at the levels between 32.54 and 51.25 mg kg-1, 23.00 and 37.16 mg kg-1, 6.62 and 14.67 mg kg-1, 30.17 and 50.00 mg kg-1, 4.04 and 6.88 mg kg-1, 0.88 and 1.23 mg kg-1, 2.19 and 5.62 g kg-1, 1.04 and 1.72 g kg-1, and 0.37 and 0.55 g kg-1, respectively. Among minerals, B, Zn and Fe concentrations were the most discriminating with the longest vectors from the origin in the biplot. Landraces L10, L48, L2, L55, L17, L14, L36, L16, L53, L22, L32, L53 L65 and Kirik cultivar were the best or the poorest landraces in some or all of the traits since they had the longest distance from the origin of biplot. Among the mineral contents, Fe content was positively correlated with Zn and Mn content. The association of Zn with Mn was positive and significant. B content positive and significant correlated with Mo content. Both Zn and Fe content was negative significant correlated with Ca. The GT biplot method can be used to identify both ideal genotypes and mineral contents in other crops.
本研究的目的是研究谷物中某些矿物质浓度（Fe、Zn、B、Mn、Cu、Mo、K、Mg和Ca）之间的相互关系，并应用基因型×性状（GT）双标法对研究数据进行可视化，以评估不同的东部安纳托利亚面包地方品种。69个面包小麦基因型（67个纯系和2个品种）。面包小麦基因型的Fe、Zn、B、Mn、Cu、Mo、K、Mg和Ca含量分别在32.54和51.25 Mg kg-1之间、23.00和37.16 Mg kg-1、6.62和14.67 Mg kg-1和30.17和50.00 Mg kg-1间、4.04和6.88 Mg kg-1与0.88和1.23 Mg kg-1、2.19和5.62 g kg-1、1.04和1.72 Mg kg-1以及0.37和0.55 g kg-1之间变化。在矿物中，B、Zn和Fe的浓度是最具辨别力的，与双地块中的起源矢量最长。地方品种L10、L48、L2、L55、L17、L14、L36、L16、L53、L22、L32、L53 L65和Kirik是部分或全部性状中最好或最差的地方品种，因为它们与双足虫起源的距离最长。在矿物含量中，Fe含量与Zn、Mn含量呈正相关。锌与锰的结合是积极而显著的。B含量与Mo含量呈正相关。锌、铁含量均与钙呈负相关。GT双标法可用于鉴定其他作物的理想基因型和矿物质含量。
