A random sample of 40 hypothyroidism patients 5 males and 35 females were selected from Kasr El-Aini Hospital out patients with age from (30-45) years. Three tools were used for data collection, structured interview questionnaire, dietary assessment questionnaire , nutritional intake knowledge food habitsand anthropometric measurements. In previous study were performed at baseline revealed prevalence of malnutrition companied with poor food habits, based on these findings, this study aimed to conduct nutrition education program intervention for three months to improve patients' ability to look after their nutritional health by improving their food literacy, understanding their nutritional needs. Our patients were subjected to nutritional assessment and laboratory investigation at baseline and after 12 weeks to determine serum free T4, free T3 TSH, zinc, iron, selenium level and iodinelevel in urine. According to the present study at the end of nutrition education program intervention for 3 month, results recorded a high significant correction in food habits, food choices, enhancing and hindering some minerals absorption and adequacy of nutrients intake. Results of the nutritional assessment after intervention confirmed by biochemical analysis as comparing at baseline vs. after 12 week of (NEP) intervention. Results revealed a significant difference increase (P<0.05) in serum ferritin, selenium, zinc and urinary iodine levels .Concerning the levels of FT3, FT4 and TSH at baseline vs. after intervention, result revealed non significant differences. In conclusion 12 weeks of (NEP) intervention induced a significant improvement in adequacy intake from some minerals and vitamins which reflected as an induced a significant increase (P<0.05) in serum ferritin, Se, Zn, and urinary iodine. We suggest that malnutrition or presence of numerous nutritional deficiencies in hypothyroidism patients’ body can be cause of thyroid disorders. The co-existing deficiencies of such elements as iodine, iron, selenium, zinc and vitamin C may impair the function of the thyroid gland .","PeriodicalId":11538,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Nutrition and Feeds","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75610709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the DPPH radical scavenging technique, the antioxidant activity of Plantago ovata's ethanol extract was evaluated. The capacity of each antidiabetic agent to inhibit human α-amylase and α-glucosidaseswas then assessed, and results were compared to those of the antidiabetic medication acarbose. Additionally, it was predicted that inhibiting pancreatic lipase might clarify Plantago's effects.17 compounds from an ethanol extract of Plantago ovata were characterized and recognized by GC-MS for the first time. When compared to vitamin C, the antioxidant activity of Plantago ovata's ethanol extract demonstrated a comparably strong antioxidant, scavenging affinity against DPPH radicals. Additionally, Plantago ovata's ethanol extract's anti-cancer properties had good antitumor properties against all examined cell lines. The inhibitory actions of Plantago ovata on human glucosidases and -amylase may be useful in regulating postprandial glycaemia and sugar absorption without the drawbacks of acarbose therapy.","PeriodicalId":11538,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Nutrition and Feeds","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87361175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with different levels of CA with constant level of YS extract on productive performance, immunity status and some blood characteristics in laying hens. A total number of 120 Lohmann Brown hens 24 weeks old were used in this experiment. The hens were randomly distributed into 8 experimental groups and each group was divided into five replicates three hens each and dietary treatments can describe as follows : (T1): control diet (basal diet without supplement). (T2): basal diet with 100 mg/kg feed of Yucca schidigera extract. (T3): basal diet with 500 mg/kg feed of caprylic acid. (T4): basal diet with 100 mg/kg feed of Yucca schidigera extract + 500 mg/kg feed of caprylic acid. (T5): basal diet with 1000 mg/kg feed of caprylic acid. (T6): basal diet with 100 mg/kg feed of Yucca schidigera extract + 1000 mg/kg feed of caprylic acid. (T7): basal diet with 2000 mg/kg feed of caprylic acid. (T8): basal diet with 100 mg/kg feed of Yucca schidigera extract + 2000 mg/kg feed of caprylic acid. Results showed that supplemented laying hen diets with CA and YS were significant differences and led to improve the BW, FI, FCR, egg production and egg mass among the dietary treatments. The egg quality parameters such as egg weight, yolk weight, albumin weight, eggshell weight, eggshell thickness, yolk index, shape index and yolk color in this study were not significantly affected by supplementation of layer chicken diets with different level of CA and YS.

These resources may provide enough supply for animals’ growth and milk production. Therefore, the main objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of using the viability of complete replacement of berseem hay in the diet of Barki ewes with cassava, or Acacia neloitca or Atriplex halimus leaves on ewes and their lambs' performance. For this berseem hay, “BH” in the diets of sheep was substituted with leaves of cassava, acacia or Atriplex. Forty late pregnant Barki ewes (43.2±1.1 Kg body weight) were divided into four groups in this evaluation trial. Animal groups fed either control diet (900 g concentrate feed mixture “CFM” + 600 g BH), or the tested diets, in which substituted BH with 600 g leaves of cassava, acacia, or Atriplex. Biweekly live body weight of ewes was recorded in the morning before feeding, while their lambs were weighed at the birthing then biweekly until weaning. Digestibility trials and nitrogen balance were implemented for the tested diets. Milk yield and its composition as well as blood analysis were also carried out. The economic efficiency was calculated for the experimental groups. Data of the studied parameters were statistically analyzed using the General Linear Model's procedures of SAS GLM (SAS, (2004). Cassava recorded the highest (P<0.05) values of most digestibility coefficients and feeding value parameters as well as dry matter intake and nitrogen balance. Both cassava and acacia were the best ones in maintaining the body weight and weight gain for both ewes and their lambs compared to the control and Atriplex groups. Milk yield was increased (P<0.01) in the cassava diet and milk protein, fat, ash, and solid not fat were increased (P<0.05) in the substituted forage diets compared with the control. Somatic cell count was almost similar in all tested groups. Cassava group had higher (P<0.05) serum total protein and the lowest A/G ratio, urea, and creatinine concentrations when compared to the control. Cassava increased (P<0.05) lambs weaning weights and daily weight gain compared to other treatments. It could be concluded that cassava, acacia and Atriplex are valuable alternatives to berseem hay in Barki ewe diets.
