Osteoporosis is increasingly being recognized by the medical fraternity as a significant health problem. This research was designed to study the incidence of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women and its relation to body mass index, body muscles, body fat and mineral status (calcium and phosphorus). Thirty samples of post-menopausal women aging between 45-60 years were divided into 3 groups. Body weight and height seemed to be tested through the use of electronic weighing balance and Stadiometer. Body muscles and fat percentage were determined through Beurer GmBH BLACK Blr.64. Bone mineral density was calculated by bone densitometry. Serum concentration of calcium and phosphorus was determined by spectrophotometer. The data obtained was subjected to Analysis of Variance. Results showed the significant decrease in body muscle, bone mineral density and serum calcium with increasing age. It was concluded that body weight, body muscles, body fat, bone mineral density, serum calcium and phosphorus had significant association with age and osteoporosis. Body fat and serum phosphorus increases with age in post-menopausal women. Body mass index and height had non-significant association with age and osteoporosis.
骨质疏松症日益被医学界认识到是一个重大的健康问题。本研究旨在研究绝经后妇女骨质疏松症的发病率及其与体重指数、身体肌肉、身体脂肪和矿物质状态(钙和磷)的关系。将30例年龄在45-60岁之间的绝经后妇女分为3组。体重和身高似乎是通过使用电子天平和体重计来测试的。身体肌肉和脂肪百分比通过Beurer GmBH BLACK Blr.64测定。骨密度测定法计算骨密度。用分光光度计测定血清钙、磷浓度。所得数据进行方差分析。结果表明，随着年龄的增长，肌肉、骨密度和血清钙含量明显下降。由此可见，体重、体肌肉、体脂肪、骨密度、血清钙、磷与年龄和骨质疏松有显著相关性。绝经后妇女体脂和血清磷随年龄增长而增加。体重指数和身高与年龄和骨质疏松无显著相关性。

The essential oils from four medicinal plants viz., Azadirachta indica, Curcuma longa, Nigella sativa and Piper nigrum were assessed at a rate of 5, 10, 15 and 20% concentrations against khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium (Everts) for their potential to protect stored wheat grains in term of their repellency and toxicity. Essential oils of A. indica gave the highest mean repellency (90.00%) at 20% concentration. The minimum value of repellency (23.56%) was observed in case of P. nigrum at 5% concentration. Highest value of mortality (30.68%) was recorded in case of A. indica, while minimum value of mortality (14.82%) was observed after 30-days of treatment application at 20% concentration. Similarly, after 5days of treatment application at 5% concentration, highest mortality was 3.45% in case of A. indica and minimum value was 2.24% where application of P. nigrum was carried out. Essential oils from these plants caused significant T. granarium mortality and deterred the larvae from feeding on wheat grains. Essential oils of these plants could serve as the foundation for development of new botanical insecticides.

Mango peels (MP) and kernels (MK) are the major bio-waste of mango processing industry, these are natural rich sources of bioactive substances that play a significant role in prevention of diseases. In present study, the effect of Mango Peels Powder (MPP) and Mango Kernels Powder (MKP) at different replacing levels (5, 10 and 15%) separately on rheological, proximate, physical, sensory and antioxidant properties of biscuits were evaluated. The results demonstrated that mango peel powder had high contents of crude fiber and antioxidant activity whereas mango kernel powder characterized by higher protein, total phenolic and ash contents as compared to mango peel powder. Farinograph study of composite flour of MPP and MKP revealed an increase in water absorption (WA) from 60 to 69.8%. The crude fiber contents of biscuits were improved from 0.22-16.79% by addition of mango peel and kernel powder. Their phenolic contents increased from 0.43 to 10.28 mg/g. The biscuits incorporated with MK and MP powder showed an increment in their antioxidant activity. Sensory performance exhibited that the biscuit acceptable with mango taste and flavor were obtained by substitution up to 10% mango peel powder and up to 5% with mango kernel powder. From the results, it is concluded that by incorporating of MPP and MKP played important role in enhancing the nutritional properties of biscuits through improving especially their fiber content, antioxidant activity during storage up to 30 days at room temperature.

Drought is a solemn environmental factor that causes great loss of yield in maize crop. Maize is highly sensitive to drought. There is need to develop drought tolerance maize genotypes to fulfill demand of feed for livestock and food for human. For this propose prescribed study was conducted to estimate genetic components for various physiological traits under normal and water tress conditions in the research area of the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan. It was concluded that P1 (WFTMS) parent performed better under drought conditions for stomata frequency, stomata conductance, stomata size, cell membrane thermo stability, leaf water potential and excised leaf water loss while BC2 for stomata conductance, F1 for stomata size, F2 leaf water potential and BC1 for leaf temperature. Positive [h] dominance effects were recorded for cell membrane thermo stability, stomata frequency and leaf water potential while [d] additive effects for leaf water potential under normal conditions. It was reported that [i] additive × additive interaction were found for cell membrane thermo stability, stomata frequency and excised leaf water loss while negative for leaf water potential under normal conditions while under drought for cell membrane thermo stability, stomata frequency, stomata conductance and excised leaf water loss. It was suggested that the traits showed [d] additive and [i] additive × additive interaction may be used to fix the increase in the expression of traits in next generations and selection for the development of synthetic varieties for drought resistance may be helpful. The [h] dominance effects showed that the traits may be used for the development of hybrid.

The metabolic syndromes are constellation of major risk factor for high fasting tri-aceylglycerols, obesity, low level of HDL cholesterol, higher fasting plasma insulin, hypertension and impaired glucose tolerance. A rat model of maternal diet was used to observe this relationship. This study investigated the metabolic syndrome development in relation to low birth weight. In this study 4 pairs of rats was used and was divided into 2 groups each consisting of 2 pairs as G1 normal and G2 was taken from animal lab of national institute of food science and technology. Control group was fed standard diet. Experimental group was fed 50% low diet as compared to control group during child bearing and lactation period. Offspring of rats was introduced solid diet and then reviewed at 20 day and 40 day of age respectively. The mother body weight and feed intake was measured daily. The overall mean body weight of mothers was significantly increased in control and decreased in experimental group. The control dam’s offspring body weight significantly higher than experimental dam’s offspring till weaning, however low birth weight offspring of rats show catch-up growth after weaning or 20 days. Serum glucose, cholesterol level of low birth weight offspring of rat’s was higher than normal weight offspring.

In spite of being the principal producers of food, women and child girls are often suffer from malnutrition and hunger. Most of the discussions regarding their food insecurity have focused so far on the intra-household access and distribution of food. This article analyzes the broader spectrum of gender dimensions of inter and intra-household entitlement to food. This study conducted in the far-western region of Nepal, which is established as a resource poor region, shows the institutions such as patrilinearity, patriarchal inheritance law, patrilocality and early marriage, the cultural norms, discriminatory food distributional practices, caste and ethnicity still function among some categories women in terms of land ownerships, share tenancy, acquiring sufficient and nutritious food, wage and employment, and credit, resulting their entitlement failure. At a time, this article discusses how new initiatives such as market, women’s self-help agencies, Government’s new policy and NGOs have been playing crucial role to change in the institutions that resulted into women’s capability enhancement.
