t: Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd, Family: Chenopodiaceae), has been cultivated in the American continent for several thousand years, being one of the main grain crops supplying highly nutritious food for the peoples. The nutritional characteristics and healthy benefits of quinoa, its rusticity, its wide adaptability and its multiple uses, explain the interest in the crop not only in American continent but also worldwide. In the present study, quinoa seeds were milled, sieved to obtain flour by 91% extraction rate. Quinoa seeds flour (QSF) was chemically analyzed and incorporated into cake at two different levels, 10 and 20% as a potential source of nutrients and bioactive compounds as well as enhancement the dough quality. Chemical analysis indicated that the protein, fat, fiber and ash of QSF were recoded 15.77, 6.74, 3.53 and 3.61 g/100 g dry wt, respectively higher than that of wheat flour were 11.10, 1.54, 1.89 and 1.86 (g/100 g dry wt). Also, total phenolic compounds (mg GAE/100 g), flavonoids (mg /100 g) and carotenoids (mg /100 g) in QSF have been reported to be 65.87 , 29.21 and 1.32 which are higher than that in wheat flour (WF) sample 31.09, 10.05 and 0.11, respectively. So, incorporation of cake samples with 10 and 20% of QSF leads to increase in all of those bioactive compounds by highly significantly (p≤0.01) rates. Additionally, significant (P≤0.05) improvements in rheological properties of cake dough including farinograph and extensograph parameters were reported by QSF incorporation. The QSF incorporated cake up to 20% doesn't affect on its organoleptic evaluation parameters. In conclusion, the results suggest that quinoa is promoted as an extremely healthy food. The effects of the dietary bioactive compounds such as rich in QSF and QSF incorporated cake are of a great current interest due to their antioxidative, anti-inflmmatory, antibacterial and anticarciongenic activities.

: Meat and its products such as minced meat are highly perishable and can spoil very easily if they are not store properly. Pathogens bacteria such as Sylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were the most bacteria caused meat spoilage. Essential oils and their extracts can be used to extend the shelf life of meat and their products and control/inhibit the microbial growth. In the current study, the essential oils of three species of Zingiberaceae family, (ginger, galangal and turmeric) were extracted to investigate and compare their chemical compositions and study their effect on control/inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in minced meat. Samples of fresh rhizomes of ginger, galangal and turmeric were purchased from Qena governorate local market during spring 2018. Proximate chemical analysis and total antioxidant content of samples were determined. Effect of different concentrations of 1, 1.5 and 2% of ginger, galangal and turmeric essential oils on pathogenic bacteria content in minced meat during cold storage at 2°C for 10 days was investigated. The obtained results showed that ginger had the highest content of moisture, protein and ash. Galangal scored the highest content of total fiber, while turmeric recorded the highest level of fat and carbohydrates. Total phenolic & flavonoid content of ginger, galangal and turmeric were 39.6 and 18.61; 34.96 and 19.37; and 41.40 and 18.97 mg/g, respectively. Also, decreased both of aerobic plate count, Sylococcus aureus count and E. coli count in treated minced meat with herbs extracts than control samples all over the period of experiment were observed. Whereas there were significant differences between control minced meat and all treated minced meat with herbs extracts at p<0.05 level. The pH values of control samples were higher than samples treated with ginger, galangal and turmeric all over the experiment. Additionally, the mean of pH values of treated samples decreased as concentrations of essential oil increased. Essential oil extracted from ginger was the most efficient on Sylococcus aureus count than that of essential oil extracted from galangal and turmeric, while essential oil extracted from turmeric was the most efficient on E. coli count than that of essential oils extracted from ginger and galangal. It could be concluded that essential oil from Zingiberaceae family such as ginger, galangal and turmeric were considered as efficient antimicrobial agents for preserving meat and its products and extending their shelf life.

Abstract: Prickly pear peel considered as a waste by-product which obtained during processing/eating of prickly pear, huge amount of peel is generated, and its disposal is a major problem and causes environmental pollution. It constitutes about 22.5% of prickly pear fruit. In the present study, prickly pear was dehydrated under vacuum at 700C for 4 hrs to obtain prickly pear powder (PPP) with 6.06% moisture content. PPP was chemically analyzed, incorporated into biscuits at two different levels, 5.0 and 10.0% as a potential source of bioactive compounds and natural antioxidants. Chemical analysis indicated that PPP contains high levels of many valuable antioxidants such total phenolics, (411.87 mg EGA.100g-1 DW) and carotenoids (269.65 mg.100g-1 DW) as well as total dietary fiber (36.67 g.100g-1DW). The total dietary fiber, carotenoids and total phenolics content in biscuit increased from 6.92 to 10.74 g.100g-1, 3.49 to 30.94 mg.100 g-1 and 111.87 to 158.98 mg EGA.100g-1 with 10% incorporation of PPP, respectively. Also, the antioxidant activity (AA) in control biscuits was 30.65% which increased to 36.87 and 44.45% with the incorporation of PPP by 5 and 10%, respectively. Also, significant (P≤0.05) improvements in rheological properties of biscuits dough including farinograph and extensograph parameters were reported by PPP incorporation. In conclusion, the results suggest that by PPP incorporating up to level 10%, it is possible to enhance the nutritional quality, rheological properties, bioactive compounds content and antioxidant activity of biscuit without affecting on its sensory characteristics.

: The present investigation aimed to evaluate the effect of replacement wheat flour by 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% of dried red rose buds and petals (RBP) on the chemical composition, physical and sensory properties of biscuits and the effect of biscuits consumption on obese rats. Thirty six Albino rats were divided into six equal groups, one was kept as negative control group, while the other five groups were fed on high fat diet for month to induce obesity then one of them kept as positive control group, while the other 4 group fed on biscuits incorporated with 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% of RBP for 60 days by 10% of basil diet. The obtained results revealed that RBP extract contains several of phenolic and flavonoid compounds and recorded high antioxidants activity. Biscuits prepared from wheat flour containing 10% RBP had a significant hardness texture 87.73±5.7 (N) compared to control biscuits 45±1.44 (N), biscuits containing 2.5% RBP had the highest overall acceptability scores followed by 5, 7.5 and 10% but all biscuits were acceptable by panelists. Feeding rats on biscuits fortified with 7.5 and10% of RBP showed a significant reduction in triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL- cholesterol, glucose and liver enzymes levels as well as improved of kidney functions of obese rats compared to positive control group. Also, it caused a significant (P≤0.05) decrease in malonaldehyde (MDA) content vs a significant (P≤0.05) increase in anti- oxidant enzymes activities . In conclusion, data of the present investigation recommended consumption of biscuits fortified with red RBP within the daily diets of obese patients to improve serum lipid profile and loss weight.

Abstract: Edible mushrooms include many fungal species that are either harvested wild or cultivated, and are consumed by humans for their nutritional and medicinal values. White mushrooms such Agaricus bisporus, belong to Agaricaceae family, is the most extensively cultivated mushroom in the world including Egypt, accounting for 38% of the world production of cultivated mushrooms. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the potential protective effects of such white mushroom species extracts against breast tumors/cancer and aarteriosclerosis in vitro. White mushroom samples were obtained from the interior areas of Egypt and used for preparation of various media extracts including water, ethanol and methanol. The methanolic extract showed the strongest antioxidant activity (AA, 89.96%) and the highest bioactive compounds (except vitamin c) including total phenolics content (104.69 mg GAE.g-1), flavonoids (17.54 QE.g-1 ) carotenoids (2.4 mg.g-1) and minerals (Fe, 1.58 mg.g-1 and Se, 21.87 mg.g-1) while the water extract showed the lowest activity (AA= 46.43 %) and low concentration of total phenolics 31.64 mg GAE.g-1), flavonoids (4.92 QE.g-1) carotenoids (0.61 mg.g-1) and minerals (Fe, 0.67 mg.g-1 and Se, 6.04 mg.g-1). When all different mushroom extracts were included in the statistical analysis, there was a relatively positive and significant (p≤ 0.01) relationship between total phenolics (r2= 86.45), flavonoids (r2=81.65), carotenoids (r2= 71.56) and vitamin C (r2=68.89) and vitamin E (r2= 62.1) and antioxidant activity. Also, mushroom methanol extract may be a useful chemopreventive agent for breast cancer/ tumor, as they have been shown to decrease in maximal optical density of intact DNA and DNA fragmentation in EAC (Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma) cell line in all extract tested concentrations (0.50, 1.00, 1.5 and 2.0%). Furthermore, data confirmed a possibility of white mushroom extracts may be more promising in the prevention of atherosclerosis by inhibiting LDL oxidation and scavenging peroxyl radicals forming during oxidation of lipids in oxidative stress. Hence, white mushroom might be useful as antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and Anti- atherosclerosis agents, and its extracts especially the methanol one will probably be used successfully for development of dietary foods, food products and pharmaceutical industry.

: The present study aims to investigate the effect of feeding some selected food processing by-products on blood oxidant and antioxidant status of obese rats. Forty two male rats, (weight 139±5.3g per each), were divided into two main groups, the first group (Group 1, 6 rats) still fed on basal diet and the other main group (36 rats) was feed with diet-induced obesity (DIO) for 8 weeks which classified into sex sub groups as follow: group (2), fed on DIO as a positive control; groups (3-7), fed on DIO containing 7.5 % tomato pomace powder (TPP), potato peel powder (PPP), cauliflower leaves powder (CLP), eggplant peel powder (EPP and their mixture, respectively. At the end of the experiment (8 weeks), rats of the obese group recorded body weight gain (BWG, 149.02%, as a percent of the baseline. Feeding of TPP, PPP, CLP, EPP and their mixture (Mix) induced significant decreasing on BWG of the obese rats which recorded 120.83, 138.32, 135.51, 127.65 and 119.02% as a percent of the baseline, respectively. Biochemical analysis data indicated that obesity induced a significant increased (p≤0.05) in plasma oxidants concentration (TBARS, 39.10%; NO2, 31.02% and NO2/NO3, 27.10%) and significant decreased (p≤0.05) in plasma non-enzymes antioxidant (GSH, -35.45% and GSSG, -18.07%), plasma antioxidant vitamins (vitamin A, -27.43%; vitamin C, -18.39% and vitamin E, -23.04%) as well as RBC's antioxidant enzymes (GSH-Px, -39.35%; GSH-Rd, -31.52%; CAT, -29.65% and SOD, -25.03%) as a percent of normal control group. Feeding on 7.5% of TPP, PPP, CLP, EPP and their mixture exhibited a significant improvement (p≤0.05) in all of these parameters by different rates. The higher amelioration effects were recorded for the mixture treatment followed by TPP, EPP, CLP and PPP, respectively. In conclusion, the present data support the benefits of dietary modification, including bioactive compounds in plant parts supplementation, in alleviating oxidative stress associated obesity.

Curcumin, which is a naturally occurring compound, is present in turmeric (Curcuma longa L., family Zingiberaceae) rhizomes, possesses both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and has been tested for its chemopreventive properties in skin, forestomach and colon carcinogenesis. The present study was designed to investigate the potential chemopreventive actions of dietary curcumin on Benzo(a)pyrene [P(a)P] induced liver disorders/toxicity and also the modulating effects of this agent on liver functions, oxidants and antioxidant status, immunological parameters in male albino rats, weighing 150±8.7 g per each. Groups of animals were fed the control (modified AIN-76A) diet or a diet containing 500-2000 mg/kg of curcumin. After two weeks, all animals, except those in the negative group (vehicle/normal saline treated group) were given two weekly s.c. injections of B(a)P at a dose 15 mg/5 ml/kg body weight). All groups were continued on their respective dietary regimen until the termination of the experiment at 12 weeks. The results indicate that treatment of animals with B[a]P caused a significant increased (p≤0.01) in AST (110.38%), ALT (67.85%) and ALP (116.47%) compared to normal controls. Dietary administration of curcumin (500 to 1000 mg/kg w/w) significantly ((p≤0.01) inhibited serum AST, ALT and ALP activities by different rates. The same behavior was recorded for malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitrite (NO2) levels in liver tissues, the biomarkers of oxidative stress in cells and some immunological parameters including albumin levels and protease activity in serum. The opposite direction was recorded for the glutathione fractions (biological macromolecules antioxidant) in liver tissues. These results supported our hypothesis that dietary curcumin is able to prevent or inhibit B[a]P hepatotoxicity through modulating liver serum enzymes activity, formation of liver MDA and NO2 and serum immunological parameters . Therefore, we recommended curcumin by a concentration up to 2000 mg/kg to be included in our daily diets, drinks and food products. Keywords: Turmeric, curcumin, liver tissues, liver functions, glutathione fractions, immunological parameters, malondialdehyde and nitrite.

Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), in arabic zatar/satar, used for long history as a medicinal healer and protector by improving and supporting the immune and respiratory systems additionally to help the digestive, nervous and other body systems. Our current study aimed to measure the influence of thyme -enriched diet on gut microbiota activities and compositions in correlation to hyperlipidemic condition; its implications for cholesterol management between animal models. Thyme has been added as fresh (5 and 10%) and dried (2 and 5%) to hyperlipidemic rats with negative and positive control groups for four weeks. Blood and feacal samples collected at the end of the experimental, then serum and colonic microbiota profiles (Bifidobacteria, Clostridium histolyticum, and Lactobacillus) were estimated. Data demonstrated significant (p≤0.05) health activities after feeding both fresh thyme concentrations (5 and 10%) comparing to the dried samples (2 and 5%). It has been shown that levels of cholesterol and HDL were declined significantly (P≤0.05) comparing to control (+) group. Also, gut microbiota compositions mainly Bifidobacteria, and Lactobacillus were higher after fresh samples consumption in contrast to the Clostridium levels that were decreased. Furthermore, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs; acetate, propionate and butyrate) had an increase with especial refer to colonic fuel; butyrate. To conclude up, feeding thyme (zatar) showed prospective effects on colonic microbiota composition in order to improve the quality of gut health which in turn could possibly serve as a novel therapeutic tool for hyperlipidemic patients. However, we recommend paying attention in the future to carry out more and more research in the area of medical plants and colonic bacterial interactions with extending its applications in human diets, industrial and medical fields

Abstract: Nowadays, tend to use synthetic drugs to lower serum glucose in diabetic patients is gradually decreased because of their related side effects, as well as a progression of drug resistance. In this regard, tend to use of medicinal plants has been doubled. Therefore, this work was conducted to investigate the effect of date fruit, leaves and seed at the level of 10% on diabetic rats. Thirty five adult male albino rat of Sprague Dawley strain, weighing (176.5±1.20 g) were divided in two main groups. The first main group (n=7) was kept as negative control group, the second main group (n=28) was injected interperitonial with Streptozotocin (STZ) to induce diabetes, then these rats were divided into four subgroups. Subgroup one was fed on the basal diet and served as a positive control group, subgroups from 2 to 3 were fed on basal diet and supplemented with yogurt and date fruit, seed, and leaves at the level of 10% respectively. At the end of the experimental period (8 weeks), rats were sacrificed and blood samples were collected to obtain serum. The results indicated that, STZ treated rats showed significant reduction (P<0.05) in serum insulin concentration and, increased glucose levels compared to normal rats. Supplementation with yogurt and date fruit, seed, or leaves in the diet caused significant (P<0.05) increase in the concentration of insulin while glucose level was significantly (P<0.05) decreased compared to the positive control one. It was also observed that, liver and kidney functions and lipid profile of the treated rats was improved compared to the positive control group. In conclusion, diet supplemented with yogurt and date fruit, seed, and leaves caused an improvement of the biochemical results from diabetes, therefore yogurt and date fruit, seed, or leaves could be used as a suitable supplementation therapy for diabetic patients.

Abstract: Postmenopausal women are exposed to the risk of a big number of health conditions, as osteoporosis and heart disease. In some of these conditions, that risk may be reduced by medication, such as hormone therapy or healthy lifestyle changes. Fortunately, the safe and powerful treatments for postmenopause symptoms are given by the combination between alternative medicine and natural remedies lifestyle changes. This study aims to estimate the effect of Ficus carica (Moraceae) leaves powder and its ethanolic extract on female hormones was investigated in postmenopausal female rats. Five Sprague Dawley strain female rats at 8-9 weeks young (model of young women) represented in group (1) as negative group (young group) and fed on basal diet (BD). Twenty five Sprague Dawley strain female rats at 24 - 26 months old (model of postmenopausal women) were divided into five groups (5 rats per each) as following. (2) Postmenopausal as positive control. (3) Postmenopausal fed on BD with 5% dried fig leaves powder daily. (4) Postmenopausal fed on BD with 10% dried fig leaves powder daily. (5) Postmenopausal fed on BD with orally 100 mg/kg BW daily fig leaves extract. (6) Postmenopausal fed on BD with orally 150 mg/kg BW daily fig leaves extract for (45 days). The Ficus carica leaves powder and ethanolic extract are showed notable amelioration in all biochemical alteration comparing with postmenopausal (normal control) rats which including lipid profile, female hormones, calcium levels and antioxidant activity. It could be concluded that administration of Ficus carica powder and ethanolic extract exhibited protective role on sexual hormones deficiency of postmenopausal female rats.

Abstract: Certain gut microbiota species of are involved in neural development and functioning (Gut-brain axis) as well as modulation of brain physiology, mood and behaviors; however their role still unclear. Parkinson disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease that approximately affects seven million people worldwide between mainly the elderly. Nutritional therapy is necessary for such patients to improve malnutrition caused by the decrease of food intake, mal-absorption, accelerated nutrient loss and increase of nutritional requirements. The current study established to investigate the effects of dietary protein supplementation interacted with colonic microbiota in PD animal models. Rats supplemented by 10% extra different dietary protein sources; animal and plant sources. Diets A, B and C representing dried skim milk, soy milk and beans respectively. Additionally, negative and positive control groups of rats were included. Bacterial population on gut, glucose, lipid profile, kidney and liver functions were measured. Collected data showed that consuming different dietary protein sources had induced effective impacts on serum glucose levels, lipid profile (cholesterol, triglyceride…etc.) in addition to kidney and liver functions. Also, colonic microbiota showed good growth with the colonic probiotic species after additions of the plant dietary protein sources (beans, diet C) comparing to the dietary protein of animal sources. In conclusion, colonic microbiome found to have an interesting role in the disease; however, further more different dietary sources interacted with colonic microbiome composition and activities are needed in addition to different neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract: The present work was conducted to estimate the potential influence of garden cress seeds powder (GCSP) at concentrations 5, 10, 15 and 20% on the hyperthyroidism in rats. Thirty six female albino rats, weighing 200 ±10 g. were classified into two main groups. The first main group (6 rats), kept as a negative control group and the second main group (30 rats) were subcutaneous injected by Lthyroxin to induce hyperthyroidism. The last group were classified into 5 sub groups (6 rats per each) as follow: group 2 was left as a positive control group and groups 3, 4, 5 and 6 were fed on basal diet containing 5, 10, 15 and 20% GCSP during the experimental period (60 days). The results indicated that the rats fed on basal diet containing 5, 10, 15 and 20% GCSP showed significant higher in feed intake, body weight gain, FER, TSH, and high density lipoprotein. Whereas showed significantly lower of T3,T4, TG, TC, LDL-c, VLDL-c, AST, ALT, uric acid, creatinine, and urea nitrogen as compared to positive control group. The diet containing 20% GCSP recorded the highest values of all parameters between all tested diets followed by the diet containing 15% of the same powder. Therefore, GCSP at different levels is beneficial to minimize the risk of hyperthyroidism disease.

Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) flowers currently discarded as waste, although it is a rich source of bioactive and nutraceutical compounds. This study was assessed to determine therapeutic effects of treating with zucchini flowers fortified cake at two levels (10% and 20%) on blood glucose, brain glucose, lipid profile, lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant defense system of brain of alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Thirty five male albino rats weighting 200±5 g were used and divided into 5 groups, each of 7 rats for 30 days. The first group fed on basal diet, served as a normal control group. Twenty eight rats were injected by alloxan with a single intravenously (40 mg/kg b.w) to induce diabetes and randomly classified to four groups, diabetic (untreated) , the other three groups treated with cake with 100% wheat flour and fortified cake with 10% and 20% zucchini flowers powder . Results revealed that both two levels 10% and 20% of zucchini flowers fortified cake were found to normalize many parameters which were shifted to pathological values as a consequence of the alloxan-induced diabetes: serum glucose in blood and brain were decreased. As well as, there was a significant increase in HDL-C and a significant decrease in total cholesterol, TG, LDL-C and VLDL-C. In addition, Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), catalase (CAT) and glutathione (GSH) activities, which were lowered in brain of diabetic animals, were restored by both treatments (10% and 20%), and consequently, level of lipids peroxidation (LPO) was reduced in brain of treated groups, as compared to diabetic (untreated) animals. In this study, the high levels of blood and brain glucose and oxidative damage associated with diabetes were ameliorated with treatment with zucchini flower fortified cake. The protective effect of zucchini flowers are mainly attributed to antioxidant properties and the presence of bioactive and nutraceutical compounds

The present study was performed to evaluate the nephroprotective effects of Kale (Brassica oleracea) leaves, Juice and seeds on potassium bromate, KBrO3 (200 mg/kg BW gavaged once) induced renal injury in rats. Forty adult male rats were assigned to five groups (n=8) for a four-weeks experimental period; group (1) normal control, group (2) KBrO3-induced control, groups (3) administrated 150 mg/kg BW kale Juice (KJ) by gastric tube, group (4) treated with 15 % kale leaves powder (KLP) in diet and group (5) treated with 15% kale seed powder (KSP) in diet. Total phenolic content and total antioxidant activity from the extract were identified. The serum lipid profiles, serum kidneys biomarkers and lipid peroxidation marker MDA, non enzymatic antioxidant reduced glutathione (GSH), enzymatic antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT) in kidneys were estimated. Total phenolic content was high 64.3 mg in methanolic extract of kale seeds (MEKS) followed by methanolic extract of KL then aqueous extract of KJ with 53.4 mg and 35.1 mg respectively. Moreover, total antioxidant capacity was high in KJ then KL and KS at levels 0.83, 0.22 and 0.13 (mmol/g) respectively. Results of KBrO3-induced renal injury rats showed significant (p<0.05) elevation levels of serum cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL-C), kidney function markers uric acid, urea nitrogen, creatinine and total protein in serum and (MDA) levels in kidneys tissue, whereas they showed significantly decreased level of HDL-C and all kidneys tissue enzymatic and non enzymatic antioxidants (SOD, CAT and GSH). Oral administration of KJ with 150 mg/kg BW to nephrotoxicity rats were showed brought back in serum lipid profiles and hepatic biomarkers, tissue lipid peroxidation product (MDA), enzymatic, and non-enzymatic antioxidants to near normal followed by 15 % seed powder (KSP) group compared to 15% KLP group. Thus results showed that the most effective results revealed from 150mg KJ dose and 15 % KLP and 15 % KSP. Moreover, the histological evaluation of kidney approved the amelioration of the previous parameters and confirms the effective treatments were dried leaves, juice and seeds consequently. In conclusion, the present study discloses the ameliorative and protective effects of Brassica oleracea against renal injury that is at least, partly mediated by its antioxidant and phenolic properties as indicated by increase of antioxidant status and decrease of lipid peroxidation markers

Liver cirrhosis was estimated to be responsible for over 2% of all deaths worldwide therefore; this study was conducted to evaluate the effect ofdriedpumpkin supplementation for 8 weeks on immune system and liver functions in rats with induced liver cirrhosis. Chemical composition of Pumpkin recorded high content of vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates but low in fats. The methanolic extracts of fresh Pumpkin revealed the presence oftotal phenolic (6.82 mg GAE), flavonoid (9.53 mg CE) compound and has antioxidant activity (3.65 mg VE). Thirty five adult male albino rats were divided into five groups,the first group, negative control group (-ve) was fed on basal diet only, the other four groups (7 rats per each) were intraperitoneally injected with CCl4 at a dose of 0.5ml/100g BW for the first time and followed by a dose of 0.3 ml/100g BW twice a week over a period of six weeks in order to induce liver cirrhosis. One group of them served as a positive control group and fed on basal diet only, groups (3,4 and 5) of rats were fed on basal diet supplemented with (7.5, 10 and 15%) dried Pumpkin respectively. The results indicated that, supplementation with dried Pumpkin at (7.5, 10 and 15%) to rats with induced liver cirrhosis significantly increased (P<0.05) the mean value of IgM and IgG compared to the positive control group. Hematological parameters were significantly increased (P<0.05) for the groups given Pumpkin at different levels. Moreover, rats with induced liver cirrhosis and treated with Pumpkin had significant improvement of liver functions, albumin level and lipid profile, compared to the positive control group. In addition to, the lowering effect of Pumpkin on lipid profiles in serum. The present study recommended the consumption of Pumpkin for patients with liver cirrhosis.

Avocado is a widely used fruit in many countries for its nutritional and medicinal benefits. This research was conducted to investigate the effect ofavocado (fruits and seeds) supplementation at different levels for 6 weeks on hematology, immune system, liver functions and serum lipid profile in rats. The methanolic extracts of fresh avocado (fruits and seeds) exposed high total phenolic (258.75 and 283.93 mg GAE/100g), flavonoid (2.89 and 3.30 mg CE/100g), antioxidant activity (89.7 and 69.5%) and ascorbic acid (9.35 and 5.22 mg), respectively. Thirty-six adult male albino rats were divided into six groups, the first group, negative control group (-ve) and fed on basal diet only, the other five groups (6 rats each) were subcutaneously injected with a single dose of sheep red blood cell (SRBC) to induced immune suppression, one group of them was served as a positive control group (+ve), while groups 3 and 4 were fed on basal diet supplemented with 5 and 10% of dried avocado fruits, respectively. Groups 5 and 6 were fed on basal diet supplemented with 5 and 10% dried avocado seeds, respectively. The results indicated that, supplementation with avocado (fruits and seeds) at 5 and 10 % to rats diets were significantly increased (P≤0.05) the mean value of IgG and IgM with 123.28, 153.28, 69.73 and 103.28%, respectively for serum IgG and 113.27, 164.60, 57.52 and 70.79%, respectively for serum IgM, compared to the positive control group. Hematological parameters were significantly increased (P≤0.05) for the groups given avocado (fruits and seeds) at different levels. Moreover, liver functions were significantly improved as well as serum albumin, compared to the positive control group, while serum lipid profiles were significantly enhanced. The present study recommended using avocado (fruits and seeds) due to stimulates the immune system of rats with immune deficiency
