High Fat Diet –Wheat Gliadin Interaction and its Implication for Obesity and Celiac Disease Onset: In Vivo Studies
Wheat gluten may play a role for development of life-style related diseases in populations on a high fat diet. Mice feed high fat diet show that wheat gliadin consumption affects glucose and lipid metabolic homeostasis, alters the gut microbiota and the immune cell profile in liver. AbstractThe intestinal immune system plays a crucial role in obesity and insulin resistance. An altered intestinal immunity is associated with changes to the gut microbiota, barrier function, and tolerance to luminal antigens. Lipid metabolism and its unbalance can also contribute to acute and chronic inflammation in different conditions. In ce...

Curry ‐Odorants and Their Metabolites Transfer into Human Milk and Urine
ConclusionThe transfer profiles of odorants into milk and urine differ qualitatively, quantitatively, and in temporal aspects. More substances are transferred into urine and the transfer needs a longer period compared with milk. Phase II metabolites are transferred into urine and milk.

Investigation of Antiproliferative Effects of Combinations of White and Black Garlic Extracts with 5 ‐Fluorouracil (5‐FU) on Caco‐2 Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Cells
In conclusion, aqueous black garlic extract may exhibit pro-oxidant activity despite its high antioxidant capacity. It is worth noting that exposure to heat-treated food and increased sugar content may lead to heightened inflammation and adverse health effects. This study is the first to combine garlic with chemo-preventive drugs like 5-FU in Caco-2 cells. (Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research)

Nutritional Sources and Anticancer Potential of Phenethyl Isothiocyanate: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Insights
Phenethyl Isothiocyanate (PEITC) exhibits its anticancer potential by modulating key signaling pathways, enforcing cell cycle arrest, promoting apoptosis, and enhancing drug efficacy by overcoming multidrug resistance and influencing drug metabolism enzymes. AbstractPhenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a compound derived from cruciferous vegetables, has garnered attention for its anticancer properties. This review synthesizes existing research on PEITC, focusing on its mechanisms of action in combatting cancer. PEITC has been found to be effective against various cancer types, such as breast, prostate, lung, colon, and pancre...

A New Insight into Fatty Acid Binding Protein 4 Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications in Obesity ‐Associated Diseases: A Mini Review
FABP4 (Fatty acid binding protein4), a lipid-binding protein, plays a key role in fat metabolism and is linked to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Its inhibition could benefit obesity-related conditions, particularly insulin resistance and diabetes. FABP4's release from adipose tissue influences lipid metabolism and insulin function, correlating with BMI and metabolic syndrome, making it a potential target for therapeutic intervention. AbstractFatty acid binding proteins (FABPs), such as FABP4 (aP2, A-FABP), are essential for cellular lipid regulation, membrane –protein interactions, and the modulation of ...
