This study of the physico-chemical and nutritional properties of a soumara-based food broth was carried out with the aim of promoting the consumption of organic broth made from nere seeds (soumara). That is to alleviate certain metabolic diseases, which is a matter of food safety, and also to limit the risk for the health about the consumption of some cooking stocks on the market. Methods: Several natural ingredients such as nere seeds (soumara), ginger, black pepper, parsley and garlic were used to create a nere-based stock. All these ingredients were freeze-dried and the powder obtained was used to make the broth, regarding their physical and chemical properties. Results: The broth had a good protein content of 17.41 ± 0.367 g/100g, a lipid content of 16.80 ± 0.08 g/100g and a fiber content of 8.66 ± 0.04 g/100g. In terms of nutritional values, the broth showed good levels of calcium 184.21 ± 0.09 mg/100g, potassium 50.04 ± 1.45 mg/100g and iron and zinc. In terms of antioxidant activity, the broth also showed good antioxidant activity. Conclusion: Regarding the properties of our food broth, whose composition is based on natural ingredients, could be recommended for consumption and, its properties, could play an important role in preventing and combating certain metabolic diseases.展开更多

Inadequate dietary intake, regardless of the cause, can have negative effects on human growth and development. Analysis of tuna “Garba” and rice with eggplant sauce consumed in Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire) revealed low levels of water-soluble B vitamins. Also, the analysis of these dishes observed the presence of histidine, leucine, valine, glutamine, arginine, cysteine and alanine. The tuna “Garba” (Gab) dish showed levels in amino acids ranging from 69.8 ± 1.33 to 764 ± 2.08 mg/kg and 77.1 ± 1.95 to 754.67 ± 2.8 mg/kg in the eggplant sauce rice (Risa) dish. During 15 days of consumption of these dishes by the wistar rats, anthropometric parameters, namely body length and abdominal circumference, showed a significant increase in the rats consuming the rice eggplant sauce. The rats showed BMI, Lee’s Index and Adipocyte Index ranged from 0.27 ± 0.01 to 0.31 ± 0.01 g/cm<sup>2</sup>;0.25 ± 0.01 to 0.26 ± 0.00 cm and 1.67% ± 0.25% to 1.96% ± 0.21% respectively. The nutritional profiling of these two street foods by LIM and SAIN score presented poor profiles.展开更多

The breakdown of this barrier is the origin of the synthesis of antisperm antibodies (ASA). The presence of sperm agglutinates in semen is characteristic of ASA. But is the presence of agglutinates in semen necessarily linked to the level of ASA in semen? The objective of this study was to assess the concentration of anti-sperm antibodies (ASA) in normozoosperms and infertile men with azoospermia. The biological material consisted of samples of human sperms: 30 samples with azoospermia and 32 with normozoospermia. The ASA assay was performed in seminal plasma using the DRG® Sperm Antibody ELISA (seminal plasma) kit (EIA-4249). The reading was carried out using a microplate reader at 450 nm. Data analysis was performed using Graph Pad Prism 7 software. The results obtained showed that the difference in ASA concentration between these two categories of sperm was not significant, with an average ASA level of 31.54 ± 2.45 U/mL in azoospermic ejaculate and 27.63 ± 1.51 U/mL in normozoosperms. Statistical analysis showed higher ASA concentrations in azoosperms with 6.67% of these declared positive. The ASA positivity rate made it possible to distinguish secretory azoospermias from obstructive ones. Also, the presence of ASA is not necessarily linked to the presence of agglutinates in the semen.展开更多
