| two antifungal active triterpenoid saponins from the seeds of lathyrus plants. | two novel triterpenoid glycosides have been isolated from butanolic seeds extract of two varieties of lathyrus plants, i.e. lathyrus ratan and lathyrus aphaca. their structures were elucidated as 3-o-[β-d-glucuronopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-α-l-arabinopyranosyl]-olean-11,13(18)-dien-28-oic acid (1) and 3-o-{β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glcopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)]-β-d-xylopyranosyl}-2,16α-dihydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl urs-12-en-28-oic acid (2) on the basi ... | 2011 | 21899482 |
| Whole and fractionated yellow pea flours modulate insulin, glucose, oxygen consumption, and the caecal microbiome in Golden Syrian hamsters. | The objective was to evaluate the effects of whole and fractionated yellow peas on circulating lipids, glucose and insulin levels, energy expenditure, and body composition, as well as to assess their prebiotic actions in Golden Syrian hamsters. Forty-five hamsters consumed a hypercholesterolemic diet for 28 days, then were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: control (CON), whole pea flour (WPF), and fractionated pea flour (hulls only) (FPF). WPF and FPF were incorporated into the diets, replacin ... | 2011 | 22026418 |
| chronic intake of fractionated yellow pea flour reduces postprandial energy expenditure and carbohydrate oxidation. | effects of dietary fibers on human postprandial energetics remain undefined. the objective of the present study was to explore effects of whole yellow pea flour (wpf) and fractionated pea flour (fpf) on postprandial energy expenditure, substrate utilization, and hepatic triglyceride synthesis rate. using a crossover-diet controlled design, 23 overweight men and women received muffins containing wpf, fpf, and white wheat flour (wf) for 28 days, followed by 28-day washout periods. subjects receive ... | 2011 | 22145774 |
| occurrence of ditylenchus weischeri and not d. dipsaci in field pea harvest samples and cirsium arvense in the canadian prairies. | the stem nematode, a parasite of the herbaceous perennial weed, cirsium arvense (l.) scop. and identified as ditylenchus dipsaci (kühn) filipjev, was reported in the canadian prairies in 1979. recently, d. weischeri chizhov parasitizing cirsium arvense was described in russia, and it has been shown that this species is not an agricultural pest. in this study, we examined ditylenchus species found in field pea (pisum sativum l.) grain harvest samples in 2009 and 2010 and from c. arvense shoots in ... | 2014 | 25580031 |
