Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 2101: Phenolic Compounds Profile and Antioxidant Capacity of Plant-Based Protein Supplements
owicz The study aimed to determine the phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of five protein supplements of plant origin. The content and profile of phenolics were determined using the UHPLC-DAD-MS method, while antioxidant capacity (ABTS and DPPH assays) and total phenolic content (TPC) were evaluated using spectrophotometric tests. In the analyzed proteins, twenty-five polyphenols were detected, including eleven phenolic acids, thirteen flavonoids, and one ellagitannin. Hemp protein revealed the highest individual phenolics content and TPC value (1620 μg/g and 1.79 mg GAE/g, respectively). Also, hemp p...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1958: The Potential Antinociceptive Effect and Mechanism of Cannabis sativa L. Extract on Paclitaxel-Induced Neuropathic Pain in Rats Uncovered by Multi-Omics Analysis
In conclusion, hemp extract exhibited antinociceptive effects on PIPN. The analgesic mechanism was probably related to the regulation of inflammation, neuroactive ligand–receptor interaction pathway, sphingolipid metabolism, etc. This study provides novel insights into the functional interactions of Cannabis sativa L. extract on PIPN.

Umbravirus-like RNA viruses are capable of independent systemic plant infection in the absence of encoded movement proteins
We report that both CY1 and CY2 can independently infect the model plantNicotiana benthamiana in a phloem-limited fashion when delivered by agroinfiltration. Unlike encoded MPs, ORF5CY2 was dispensable for infection of CY2, but was associated with faster symptom development. Examination of ORF5CY2 revealed features more similar to luteoviruses/poleroviruses/sobemovirus CPs than to 30K class MPs, which all share a similar single jelly-roll domain. In addition, only CY2-infected plants contained virus-like particles (VLPs) associated with CY2 RNA and ORF5CY2. CY1 RNA and a defective (D)-RNA that arises during infection inter...

fOne pot synthesis of furan-modified lignin from agricultural waste via lignin-first approach
This study investigated a lignin-first approach to produce furan-modified lignin from sugarcane bagasse (SB), rice hull (RH), and sunn hemp biomass (SHB) using 5 methylfurfural (MF) and 5 methul-2-furanmethanol (MFM). The reaction time (5 h) was selected based on the delignification of SB using methanol and Ru/C catalyst which yielded the highest hydroxyl content. Delignification of SB with various MF weight ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 2:1, and 3:1) revealed that 1:1 and 2:1 ratios produced the highest hydroxyl content (7.7 mmol/g) and bio-oil yield (23.2 % wt% total weight). Further exploration identified that RH and MF at 1:1...

Interactive effects between water temperature, microparticle compositions, and fiber types on the marine keystone species Americamysis bahia
Environ Pollut. 2024 Mar 30;348:123906. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123906. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecently, there has been an increasing emphasis on examining the ecotoxicological effects of anthropogenic microparticles (MPs), especially microplastic particles, and related issues. Nevertheless, a notable deficiency exists in our understanding of the consequences on marine organisms, specifically in relation to microfibers and the combined influence of MPs and temperature. In this investigation, mysid shrimp (Americamysis bahia), an important species and prey item in estuarine and marine food webs, were subjected to ...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1568: Hemp Seed Oil Inhibits the Adipogenicity of the Differentiation-Induced Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells through Suppressing the Cannabinoid Type 1 (CB1)
This study compared the availability of phytocannabinoids [CBD and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)] and polyunsaturated fatty acids [omega 3 (ω3) and omega 6 (ω6)] in different hemp seed oils (HSO). The study also examined the effect of HSO on adipocyte lipid accumulation by suppressing cannabinoid receptors in adipogenesis-stimulated human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Most importantly, Oil-Red-O′ and Nile red tests showed that HSO induced adipogenic hMSC differentiation without differentiation agents. Additionally, HSO-treated cells showed increased peroxisome proli...

Antimicrobial fibres derived from aryl-diazonium conjugation of chitosan with Harakeke (Phormium tenax) and Hemp (Cannabis sativa) Hurd
This study reports aryl-diazonium covalent attachment of chitosan and PD13 (6-O-(3-(2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethylamino)-2-hydroxypropyl)chitosan), a chitosan derivative with improved antibacterial activity, on to PTF and HH. The modification was confirmed using FTIR, XPS, SEM and water contact angle studies. Comparison of aryl-diazonium versus the use of succinic anhydride bridging for chitosan attachment was also investigated, with the diazonium method giving improved results. The treated PTF and HH fibres had good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and this study contributes to the development of sustainab...

HemU and TonB1 contribute to hemin acquisition in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
ConclusionHemA, HemU, and TonB1 contribute to hemin acquisition in S. maltophilia. Fur represses the expression of hemA and hemU in iron-replete conditions. HemA expression is regulated by low iron levels, and HemP acts as a negative regulator of this regulatory circuit. HemU expression is regulated by low iron and hemin levels in a hemP-dependent manner. (Source: Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology)
