Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.This study evaluated Bambara groundnut–wheat composite bread fortified with orange peel in diabetic rats. Diets significantly lowered blood glucose, inhibited α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase, and boosted antioxidant enzymes compared to controls. Results emphasize BG‐based functional foods' potential to help manage type 2 diabetes through regulation of ...

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.Boiling retained the nutrients and polyphenol compounds in Plectranthus esculentus tubers better than frying or roasting. A bioavailability study showed that the phytates and oxalates in the tuber may not affect the bioavailabilities of calcium, zinc, or iron in Plectranthus esculentus tubers when eaten.

Relationship of Dietary Protein, Iron, Niacin or Thiamin to Intestinal Mineral Metabolism
Poultry Science, 1977 Young chicks were fed diets deficient in proteins, iron, niacin or thiamin to study the effects on various parameters of mineral metabolism in the duodenal mucosa. None of the treatments affected mucosal alkaline phosphatase activity; however, a five-day deprivation of protein reduced the inorganic phosphate content of mucosal cell nuclei.
