“…The palm date fruits are composed of a fleshy pericarp and seed [10]. The date seeds represent about 15% of the total weight of the date fruits [11]. The fleshy fruit part is delicious and highly nutritious [12] and can be consumed at any of the three major stages of maturity [9].…”

Objective: The present study examined the effects of aqueous and methanolic extracts of palm dates (fruits and seeds) on diabetic nephropathy in a rat model of type 2 DM.Methods: Sixty male albino rats subdivided into a) normal control (NC) group, b) diabetic control (DM) group, c) aqueous fruit extract (AFE) group, d) methanolic fruit extract (MFE) group, e) aqueous seed extract (ASE) group and f) methanolic seed extract (ASE) group. Treatment with both extracts done for 15 weeks after induction of type 2 DM. by the end of experiment fasting blood glucose, serum lipid profile, creatinine, urea, uric acid, urinary albumin excretion, kidney tissue MDA, catalase, SOD, GSH were measured and kidney histopathological examination was done.Results: Diabetic untreated rats showed significant hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia and deterioration in kidney functions and morphology with enhanced oxidative stress in kidney tissues. On other hand, rats treated with either aqueous or methanolic fruit or seed extracts showed significant improvement in all studied parameters compared to DM group (p<0.05). However, the effects of fruit extracts especially aqueous extract were more powerful than seed extracts. Conclusion:Aqueous and methanolic fruit and seed extracts of palm date protect kidneys from diabetic nephropathy in rats which might be due to their antioxidant properties.Citation: El-Mousalamy AMD, Hussein AAM, Mahmoud SA, Abdelaziz A, Shaker G (2016) Aqueous and Methanolic Extracts of Palm Date Seeds and Fruits (Phoenix dactylifera) Protects against Diabetic Nephropathy in Type II Diabetic Rats.

“…Pericarp is an edible part and a pit is considered as by-product and waste [Besbes et al, 2004a]. On an average, mass of datepits varies from 10 to 15% of total date-fruit mass [Hussein et al, 1998] and contains about 10% crude oil [Al-Farsi et al, 2007]. The date fruits are an excellent source of carbohydrates, dietary fibres, protein, lipids, some vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds [Barreveld, 1993; [FAO, 2011] and approximately 720,000 tons of date-pits could be produced annually (i.e.…”

“…The published work on the valorisation of date pits has been especially focused on their incorporation in animal feeds [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] or on their biological transformation [1,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. From a practical point of view, the majority of these research tasks were not concretised in industrial projects [5].…”

--Introduction. The fruit of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is an important crop of the arid and semi-arid areas of the world. It has always played a genuine economic and social part in the lives of the people of these areas. Nevertheless, there are few studies related to the composition and the functional properties of the different components (fibres, fats and proteins) of the date seeds. In order to obtain more information on the nutritive value and the chemical composition of the pits of the most important and most valuable Tunisian date palm varieties (Deglet Nour and Allig), we studied their profiles of proteins and amino acids. Materials and methods. Date seeds of two Tunisian cultivars, Deglet Nour and Allig, were separately milled in a heavy-duty grinder to pass 1-2 mm screens; then, they were preserved at -20 °C until analysis. The soluble proteins from defatted date seeds were extracted with water at pH 10, and were analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Results and discussion. Amino acid profiles revealed that date seeds from the Deglet Nour and Allig varieties contained the majority of essential amino acids: lysine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, threonine, valine and phenylalanine. Seventeen amino acids were detected in the seeds of the two studied cultivars. Glutamic acid was the major amino acid in Deglet Nour and Allig date seeds, representing 17.83% and 16.77%, respectively, of the total amino acids. Date seeds appeared to contain a number of proteins with molecular weights ranging from 22 kDa to 70 kDa. Three prominent bands appeared at 32 kDa, 60 kDa and 70 kDa.
