Common Names: English walnut
Walnuts have compounds that may help with inflammatory bowel disease. Study explains how they work and suggests future research for potential dietary supplements for IBD management.
Researchers found that walnuts contain ellagitannins with potential health benefits. Urolithins, metabolites derived from ellagitannins, show promise for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects. More studies needed for full understanding.
Researchers studied the potential anticancer effects of Juglans regia on cervical cancer proteins. Identified top hub genes and confirmed stable binding of phytocompounds using molecular dynamics simulation. This could lead to new treatments for cervical cancer.
Researchers tested various plant extracts for antimicrobial activity. Blackberry extract was most effective, olive extract showed strongest bactericidal results. These extracts could be potential antimicrobials to enhance antibiotic therapies and combat antimicrobial resistance.
This review discusses the nutritional benefits of nuts and their potential role in preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. Almonds, walnuts, and pistachios are found to be the most beneficial due to their high content of bioactive compounds with cardioprotective properties.
Researchers identified and characterized the BZR gene family in pecan, finding that these genes are involved in various processes, including photomorphogenesis, stress response, and pollen sterility. This study paves the way for future research on the role of CiBZR genes in plant growth, development, and stress responses.
This study analyzed phenolic compounds in walnut leaves from northern Iraq. The compounds showed antibacterial and antioxidant properties, making them potential candidates for antioxidant drugs to treat oxidative stress-related diseases.
This study found the best conditions for extracting phenolic compounds from walnut green husks using a method called salting-out extraction. The optimal conditions resulted in higher phenolic content and antioxidant activity compared to conventional methods. This research is important for extraction techniques and utilizing agricultural waste.
A new fungus, identified in walnut plantations in Beijing, causes heart rot disease in walnut trees. Another fungus, co-isolated with the new species, acts as a biocontrol agent, inhibiting the spread of the disease. The optimal temperature for both fungi's growth and pathogenicity is common in Chinese walnut growing regions.
Herbal extracts like Moringa oleifera and Boswellia serrata have been shown to improve liver function in diabetes. They contain phenolic compounds that protect the liver through various mechanisms, including improving glucose metabolism and antioxidant defense.
Researchers evaluated the anti-asthmatic activity of Juglans regia in mice with allergic asthma. The extract reduced inflammation and lung weight, validating its traditional use in respiratory disorders.
