Transcriptome and proteome profile of jejunum in chickens challenged with Salmonella Typhimurium revealed the effects of dietary bilberry anthocyanin on immune function
ConclusionIn summary, the impaired growth performance and disruption of jejunal morphology caused by S. Typhimurium were alleviated by dietary BA by affecting the expression of immune-related genes and proteins, and signaling pathways are related to immune response associated with immune cytokine receptors and production in jejunum.

Unlocking the Therapeutic Potential of Natural Stilbene: Exploring Pterostilbene as a Powerful Ally Against Aging and Cognitive Decline
Ageing Res Rev. 2023 Nov 16:102125. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2023.102125. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe therapeutic potential of natural stilbenes, with a particular focus on pterostilbene (PTE), has emerged as a promising avenue of research targeting age-associated conditions encompassing cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes mellitus (DM), and cognitive decline. This comprehensive investigation delves into the intricate mechanisms through which PTE, a polyphenolic compound abundant in grapes and blueberries, exerts its advantageous effects as an anti-aging agent. Central to its action is the modulation of hallmark aging ...

Blueberry intervention mitigates detrimental microbial metabolite trimethylamine N ‐oxide by modulating gut microbes
Blueberry intervention mitigates detrimental microbial metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide by modulating gut microbes in preclinical model. This effect could be due to chlorogenic acid and increased phenolic contents in blueberries. AbstractGut microbes play a pivotal role in host physiology by producing beneficial or detrimental metabolites. Gut bacteria metabolize dietary choline and L-carnitine to trimethylamine (TMA) which is then converted to trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). An elevated circulating TMAO is associated with diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and cancer in humans. In the present study, we investigate...

Investigation on the interaction mechanisms for stability of preheated whey protein isolate with anthocyanins from blueberry
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Nov 7:127880. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127880. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProteins and anthocyanins coexist in complex food systems. This research mainly studied the steady-state protective design and mechanism of the preheated protein against anthocyanins. Multispectral and molecular dynamics are utilized to illustrate the interaction mechanism between preheated whey protein isolate (pre-WPI) and anthocyanins. The pre-WPI could effectively protect the stability of anthocyanins, and the effect was better than that of the natural whey protein isolate (NW). Among them, NW after preheating tre...

Preparation and characterization of hemicellulose films reinforced with amino polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane for biodegradable packaging
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Nov 6:127795. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127795. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBiomass is one of the powerful alternatives to petroleum-based packaging materials. Herein, carboxymethyl hemicellulose (CMH) based films (CPF) were prepared using a convenient strategy. The chains of CMH provided the necessary supporting matrix, and the aminopropyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS-NH2) regulated the thermal and barrier properties of the CPF. The secondary amide groups and hydrogen bond were appeared in chemical structure, and SEM-EDS results indicated the preferable dispersion and compatibi...
