Eggplant .. Black fruits are rich in antioxidants

He explained that these phenolic acids are a class of compounds a simple "Vinlbroobbanued" anti-oxidant, where the plant produces a wide variety of these compounds to protect themselves from stress and morbidity.
The researchers found after studying seven different types of eggplants grown in the United States, along with other types of eggplant, wild and strange, which is growing in other countries, that these fruits contain in addition to acid Kloroujenic 0.13 amino Finolaa another at different levels in the plants of America, acids, other unique in wild species does not isolate the cat from any other plant.
The researchers said the process of extracting these compounds from the plant was very difficult, because the tissues of the fruit are oxidized quickly when cut and exposed to air, has been the use of three analytical techniques to separate and determine the quantity and the definition of phenolic substances in the fruits of eggplant.
Experts believe that this research, published in the magazine "agricultural research" niche, may help in the development of new production lines to plants rich in medical and health characteristics are required benefit the health of consumers.

Grains of wheat are useful for patients with diabetes

The researchers said in the magazine "Food Chemistry and Agriculture," that people with diabetes Add this grain to their diet or eating Mkmladtha food refinery, noting that the discovery of food, safe and easy to prepare and inexpensive to reduce blood sugar, complications of diabetes that cause heart problems, nerves and kidneys, is an achievement real great, especially with the increasing incidence of the disease to epidemic levels.
The researchers are currently a number of studies to determine the amount of buckwheat, whether in the form of a summary or inaccurate, need to be addressed to achieve beneficial effects in reducing blood sugar.
The researchers focused their studies on mice infected with type I diabetes, which is caused by a lack of the hormone insulin needed to break down the sugar and processed in the body, so that these animals were given a single dose of either buckwheat extract or a preparation of normal.
They believe that the main active component in wheat called "Haerawanosaitol", which is found abundantly in wheat, is rare in other foods, and plays an essential role in metabolism and the metabolism of sugar in the body and the issuance of the necessary signals to the cells.
Although the mechanism of action of this element is not clear precisely, the researchers believe it increases the sensitivity of cells to insulin, or it looks like him in his work, and therefore achieve beneficial effects in reducing sugar in patients with diabetes, both with type I or II that appears because of the lack of response body well to insulin.

Electronic device implants in the abdomen in order to lose weight



Washington: Scientists at Tufts - New England Medical Center in Boston, to develop a small electronic device like a cardiac organizations, can be planted in the abdomen in order to lose weight.
The researchers explained that this device tricks the body and it is believed to be replete and full, which represents an effective alternative to radical digestive surgery designed to help obese people to lose large amounts of weight.

The researchers observed after one year to plant the device, that two-thirds of volunteers decreased weight, and reached this decrease in weight to about 18 per cent.
They say that a device uses a generator pulses of small electronic is placed under the skin in the abdomen and connects the stomach by two wires, and take the agriculture of this less than an hour and take place in outpatient clinics using procedures endoscopic abdominal, and then begins the doctors operated so that the patients with symptoms of troublesome nausea or abdominal cramps , as evidence of satiety, and then extinguished until this feeling disappears.
