        The aim of this study was to evaluate the preventive effects of Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba) extract on fatty liver disease induced by high fat diet in the rats. For this purpose, 80 male Wistar rats were randomly divided to 4 equal groups including: 1-Healthy control, 2-Feeding with high fat diet, 3-Feeding with high fat diet plus Clofibrate (320 mg/kg) treatment and 4- Feeding with high fat diet and treated with Jujube extract (200 mg/kg). Steatosis created by high fat emulsion (10 ml/kg). Different experimental groups compared considering serum biomarkers of liver tissue injury, hepatic antioxidant activity and liver histopathological changes. In the rats fed with high-fat diet, serum levels of hepatocellular enzymes significantly (P<0.01) reduced and liver antioxidants activities significantly (P<0.01) increased compared to control group. In extract treatment group, elevated markers of liver tissue injury and Malondialdehyde significantly reduced and declined serum albumin and protein significantly (P<0.01) increased. Also, in this group, Jujube treatment significantly (P<0.01) improved the activities of liver antioxidants and significantly (P<0.01) decreased liver Malondialdehyde levels. Histopathology of the liver confirmed the biochemical changes. The results showed Jujube extract exerts protective effects against hepatic steatosis in rats fed with high fat diet possibly through increasing of antioxidant activities. Manuscript profile

        Background: Plants are among the most important sources of phenolic compounds, which also include natural antioxidants. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two methods of extraction by ultrasonic bath and maceration on the extraction of phenolic compounds from jujube fruit using water and 80% ethanol solvents. Methods: In the ultrasonic bath method, water and 80% ethanol solvents were used in three time levels of 15, 30 and 60 minutes and two temperature levels of 50 and 70 °C. In the maceration method, water and 80% ethanol solvents and their combinations were used and the content of phenolic compounds using the Folin-Ciocalteu method and the extraction efficiency of the extracts were determined. Results: Based on the results of ultrasonic bath extraction method, 80% ethanol solvent, 60 minutes and 50 °C extracted the highest content of phenolic compounds (86.33 mg GAE/100 g of dry sample) from the fruit and the extraction efficiency of its extract was 95.66%. In the maceration extraction method, 80% ethanol solvent extracted the highest content of phenolic compounds (61.40 mg GAE/100 g of dry sample) and the extraction efficiency of the extract was 77%. Conclusion: According to the results of both methods, the content of extraction of bioactive compounds based on the type of solvent, temperature and time were significantly different and 80% ethanol solvent was the best solvent for the extraction of compounds. Ultrasonic extraction had a significant effect on the extraction of phenolic compounds of jujube fruit.   Manuscript profile

        Theme and Purpose: Today, the use of potent drugs is very common among athletes, and steroid hormones are being used to improve exercise performance. The aim of the present study was to investigate the side effects of anabolic Boldenone steroid on pancreatic tissue and the healing effect of jujube extract with resistance training on reducing these complications. Research method: 42 wistar male rats, aged 8-12 weeks, and weights 180-220 grams were studied. After two weeks of maintenance and getting used to the training protocols, the third week of exercise began. Subjects were randomly divided into 6 groups of 7 (Boldenone group and resistance training, Boldenone, Boldenone and Jujube extract, Boldenone without resistance training, Control and Sham) and were evaluated for desirable results.Results: The results showed that changes in weight gain in the hormone training group were significant (P=0), but in exercise groups alone (P=1.000) and hormone alone (P=0974) and jujube hormones (P> 0.05 - P =0989) has not been meaningful. High-dose steroids have been responsible for the destruction of pancreatic axins, islets of Langerhans and blood vessels.Conclusion: The results showed that the use of high-dose anabolic steroids results in the destruction of pancreatic tissue and exercise and jujube extracts can be effective in reducing the destructive effects of steroids.

        Abstract Jujube tree is one of the most important medicinal plants. The propagation of this plant is low using seed and sucker, therefore, by applying the micropropgation technique, the amount of propagation can be considerably increased. In order to study the effect of culture media and growth regulators on proliferation and rooting of jujube cultivar Tian-yuzao, this experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replications. For proliferation, MS and WPM culture media supplemented with 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 2 mg.l-1 BA (benzyladenine), and for rooting, the mentioned culture media containing 0, 1, 5 and 10 mg.l-1 IBA (indole-butyric acid) were used. Based on the results of analysis of variance, there was no significant difference between MS and WPM for proliferation and rooting traits. The results of the mean comparison showed that the highest percentage of proliferation (73-76%) and number of shoots (3.1-3) were obtained in medium containing 1 and 2 mg.l-1 BA, but the maximum shoot length (74 mm), fresh weight (296 mg) and dry weight (44 mg) were observed in media supplemented with 1 mg.l-1. Rooting percentage, number of root and root length of all media containing IBA were not significantly different but showed significant increase compared to control. Adaptation results showed that over 87% of plantlets survived in the bed of clay: peat: vermiculite: perlite (1:1:1:1). Manuscript profile
