Kunu-zaki was produced from different blends of rice and acha. The samples were subjected to sensory evaluation by panellists and scoring was done on a seven point hedonic scale where 1-7 represents like extremely to dislike extremely. Three samples (Rice: Acha 3:0, 3:1 and 3:2) were significantly (p<0.05) preferred. These were further produced by fermentation with or without aeration. The results show that fermentation with or without aeration did not significantly affect both nutrient levels and organoleptic acceptability. The results also show that kunu-zaki produced from rice and acha blends in a ratio of 3:1 is more preferred organoleptically than that produced from either rice or acha only.
The use of lemon (Citrus limon) and lime (Citrus aurantifolia) juices for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) is fast becoming common practice, even though there is dearth of information on the effect of such functional food and drug combination in the management of ED. This study evaluated the effect of lemon and lime juices on the erectogenic properties of sildenafil. ED was induced with L-NAME (40 mg/kg body weight). The rats were divided into 11 groups (n = 6) and given various doses of the test samples. Immediately after the sexual behavior studies, the animals were sacrificed and the penile and brain tissues were isolated. The results revealed that lime How to cite this article: Ademosun, A.

Influence of lemon (Citrus limon) and lime (Citrus aurantifolia) juices on the erectogenic properties of sildenafil in rats with L-NAME-induced erectile dysfunction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
