“…The results for daily food intake, spleen weight, and fats associated with heart, liver, kidney, and spleen were significant for safety trials, whereas weight gain, FER, liver weight, heart, and liver fats were significant for the treatment trial. This decreased food intake might have been linked with the higher fiber content of GCSs, resulting in increased satiety and lowered body weight and fat deposits in the body as it has been identified in some previous studies by Mohamed et al (2019) and Slavin (2005). Furthermore, Ω‐3 PUFAs intake has been linked with these appetite‐suppressing effects, adipocyte apoptosis, and changes in gene expression in skeletal muscle, heart, liver, and adipose tissues that suppress fat formation and promote fat oxidation and energy expenditure may all contribute to the reported body fat decreases (Buckley & Howe, 2009).…”

“…Lowering blood glucose and restoring other biochemical parameters by GC have been previously reported by Attia et al (2019). Similarly, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and liver‐protective activity of GCSs were found comparable to a medicinal dose of atorvastatin (Amawi & Aljamal, 2012; Hikal, 2017; Mohamed et al, 2019; Prajapati et al, 2018; Salama et al, 2019).…”

This study was designed to explore the nutraceutical, functional, and therapeutic potential of garden cress (Lepidium sativum) seeds (GCSs) based on their highly nutritious, affordable, and rich contents of alpha‐linoleic acid (ALA). The nutraceutical potential of GCSs in safety and treatment trials on Sprague–Dawley rats was observed, which strengthened its role in lowering weight gain, blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), while increasing high‐density lipoproteins (HDL), total leucocyte count (TLCs), hemoglobin (Hb), and red blood cells (RBCs). A marketable recipe of GCSs‐fortified muffins at assorted fortification levels of 5 to 20% indicated a significant increase of 14%, 68%, 74%, and 45% in protein, fiber, ash, and healthy fats, respectively. Farinographic studies of GCS blends resulted in overall raised dough quality characteristics along with increasing fortification levels. Whereas the sensorial evaluation revealed the fortification levels of ≤15% were highly appreciated. GCSs should be included in daily eatables since they have cardio‐ and immuno‐protective activity and are a rich source of vegetal proteins, fiber, minerals, and lipids. Novelty impact statement The seeds of Lepidium sativum (garden cress) are nutritious, loaded with many functional ingredients, and are now being acknowledged for their nutraceutical potential for various maladies. These seeds still lack their utilization in edibles for their regular utilization. This study can help food industries to fortify them into ordinary bakery items to empower their daily dietary utilization to get positive health outcomes.

“…However, this causes the liver to receive an increased amount of free fatty acids, which eventually stimulates the creation of TGs and cholesterol (in particular LDL-c), thus resulting in dyslipidemia ( Mourrieras et al, 1997 , Aldayel et al, 2020 ). Additionally, hyperglycemia alone is an independent factor that stimulates CHOL and TGs creation in the liver by upregulating the sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factors (SREB1/2) and their downstream fat synthesis genes ( Matsuzaka et al, 2004 , Mohamed et al, 2019 ). Previous investigates have shown higher levels of TGs, FFAs, LDL-c, VLDL-c, and CHOL, a significant decrease in the serum and liver levels, and increased TG and CHOL deposition in the STZ-diabetic rat kidneys ( Almeida et al, 2012 , Okoduwa et al, 2017 , Chen et al, 2019 , Aldayel et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Anusha et al [53] found that aqueous extract of purslane in combination with lycopene showed hepatoprotective results against carbon tetrachloride induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The seeds of purslane are very effective against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease which is the most common form of chronic liver disease [233,234]. The gastro and hepatoprotective properties of purslane also suggest its use in the treatment of lung and liver related diseases.…”

The Portulaca oleracea L. commonly known as purslane is distributed all over the world and easily grows in diverse soil and climatic conditions. It has been traditionally used as a nutritious and ethnomedicinal food across the globe. Various studies have shown that the plant is a rich source of various important phytochemicals such as flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins such as A, C, E, and B, carotenoids and minerals such as phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and zinc. It is particularly very important because of the presence of a very high concentration of omega-3- fatty acids especially α-linolenic acid, gamma-linolenic acid and linoleic acid, which are not generally synthesized in terrestrial plants. Various parts of purslane are known for ethnomedicinal and pharmacological uses because of its anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, skeletal muscle relaxant, antitumor, hepatoprotective, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-insomnia, analgesic, gastroprotective, neuroprotective, wound healing and antiseptic activities. Due to multiple benefits of purslane, it has become an important wonder crop and various scientists across the globe have shown much interest in it as a healthy food for the future. In this review, we provide an update on the phytochemical and nutritional composition of purslane, its usage as nutritional and an ethnomedicinal plant across the world. We further provide a detailed account on ethnopharmacological studies that have proved the ethnomedicinal properties of purslane.
