Benzyl Isothiocyanate Produced by Garden Cress (Lepidium sativum) Prevents Accumulation of Hepatic Lipids.

We determined the physiological effects of glucotropaeolin-rich lyophilized garden cress sprout powder (GC) administered to fasting and nonfasting mice. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed glucotropaeolin (57.4±1.

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense L.) Sprout Prevents Metabolic Syndrome.

We examined the prevention effect of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) sprout on metabolic syndrome using a high-carbohydrate and high-fat diet (Western diet; WD)-induced male C57BL/6J obese model mouse. Red clover sprout-lyophilized powder (RC) contained 3.

Analysis of isoflavones and coumestrol in soybean sprouts.

High-performance liquid chromatography analysis is used to examine the distribution of isoflavones in different parts of soybean sprouts. Between the seed leaf and hypocotyl, the ratio of isoflavones differs depending on the aglycone type. Glycitein exists predominantly in the hypocotyl.

Comprehensive NMR analysis of compositional changes of black garlic during thermal processing.

Black garlic is a processed food product obtained by subjecting whole raw garlic to thermal processing that causes chemical reactions, such as the Maillard reaction, which change the composition of the garlic. In this paper, we report a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based comprehensive analysis of raw garlic and black garlic extracts to determine the compositional changes resulting from thermal processing. (1)H NMR spectra with a detailed signal assignment showed that 38 components were altered by thermal processing of raw garlic.

Effect of low-addition soft contact lenses with decentered optical design on myopia progression in children: a pilot study.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of low-addition soft contact lenses (CLs) with decentered optical design on the progression of myopia in children in a pilot study.

Subjects And Methods: Twenty-four Japanese children age 10-16 years with baseline myopia of -0.75 to -3.
