As stated by Dr. Axe that, Mung beans a type of small, green legume in the same plant family
as peas and lentils is a high source of protein, fiber, antioxidant and phytonutrients. Although
in most parts of the world theyre less popular than other bean varieties, like chickpeas or black
beans, mung beans have some huge health benefits to offer!

While mung beans may be new to most people in the U.S, theyve been a part of traditional
Ayurvedic diets in India for thousands of years. Mung beans are considered one of the most
cherished foods in the ancient Indian practice thats been a traditional form of medicine since
roughly 1,500 B.C.

As stated in www.plantphysiol.org/, that number of well characterized legume lectins including

the enzymic lectin from Vigna radiata were examined for immunological relatedness. The
immunological cross-reactions observed indicate that most of the legume lectins, including
Vigna lectin, are evolutionarily closely related proteins. The possibility that these proteins are
homologs with enzymic functions is discussed.
Chicken manure
As stated in www.academicjournals.org/, that utilization of chicken manure as an organic
fertilizer is essential in improving soil productivity and
crop production. We carried out the study to assess the effects of chicken manure on soil
chemical
properties and the response of application rate on the yield of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) as well
as
the uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients.

As stated in that www.scielo that, histological changes in gills, kidney and liver were used to
evaluate the health of the Neotropical fish species Prochilodus lineatus, subjected to in situ tests
for 7 days in a disturbed urban stream and in a reference site, during winter and summer. In fish
caged in the urban stream the most common lesions were epithelial lifting, hyperplasia and
hypertrophy of the respiratory epithelium, lamellar fusion, and aneurysms in the gills;
enlargement of the glomerulus, reduction of Bowman's space, occlusion of the tubular lumen,
cloudy swelling and hyaline droplet degeneration in the kidneys; hepatocytes with hypertrophy,
cytoplasmic and nuclear degeneration, melanomacrophage aggregates, bile stagnation and one
case of focal necrosis in the liver. The lesions were comparatively most severe in the liver.
Histopathology showed to be a very suitable biomarker for use in conjugation with the in situ
test, because the seasonal variation did not interfere in the results and it was possible to
differentiate the sites in the urban stream from the reference site.
