In order to reduce the waste of Akebia trifoliata peel and maximize its utilization, in this study, on the basis of a single-factor experiment and the response surface method, the optimum technological conditions for the extraction of soluble dietary fiber from Akebia trifoliata peel with the compound enzyme method were obtained. The chemical composition, physical and chemical properties, structural characterization and biological activity of the purified soluble dietary fiber (AP-SDF) from the Akebia trifoliata peel were analyzed. We discovered that that the optimum yield was 20.87% under the conditi...

Combined effect of freshwater salinization and harmful algae on the benthic invertebrate Chironomus pallidivittatus
This study simultaneously examined the joint toxicity of salinity and different cyanobacterial diets on the behavior, development, select biomarkers, and partial life cycle of Chironomus pallidivittatus (Diptera). High concentrations of salts (e.g., 1 g/L Ca2+ and Mg2+) and toxic Microcystis had synergistic toxicity, inhibiting development, burrowing ability and causing high mortality of C. pallidivittatus, especially for the Mg2+ treatment, which caused around 90% death. Low Ca2+ concentration (e.g., 0.01 g/L) promoted larval burrowing ability and inhibited toxin accumulation, which increased the tolerance of Chironomus t...

Interaction of L-phenylalanine with carbonyl groups in mixed lipid membranes
Biochim Biophys Acta Biomembr. 2024 Apr 28:184328. doi: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2024.184328. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe interaction of L-Phe with the membrane components, i.e., lipids and proteins, has been discussed in the current literature due to the interest to understand the effect of single amino acids in relation to the formation of amyloid aggregates. In the present work, it is shown that L-Phe interacts with 9:1 DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3 phosphocholine)/DPPC (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3 phosphocholine) mixtures but not in the 1:9 one. An important observation is that the interaction disappears when DPPC ...

Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside protects Zearalenone-induced in vitro maturation disorders of porcine oocytes by alleviating NOX4-dependent oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress in cumulus cells
In conclusion, C3G promoted in vitro maturation of porcine oocytes exposed to ZEN via mitigating NOX4-dependent oxidative stress and ERS in cumulus cells. These results contribute to our comprehension of the molecular mechanisms underlying the protective effects of C3G against ZEN toxicity in porcine oocytes, and they provide a novel theoretical foundation and strategy for future applications of C3G in the improvement of female reproduction.PMID:38688352 | DOI:10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142153 (Source: Chemosphere)

Combined techniques for revealing the mechanism beneath the inhibition effects of pectin on gluten digestibility using static in vitro gastro-duodenal protocols
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 19:131690. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131690. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the current study, how pectin retards the digestibility of wheat gluten was investigated using a static in vitro gastric-duodenal model. The degree of protein hydrolysis was estimated using the o-phthaldialdehyde method, while the in vitro digestograms were mathematically fitted using a single first-order kinetics model. Peptides' profile, free amino acids compositions, gluten-pectin interactions and their effects on enzymatic activities of proteolytic enzymes as well as on the gluten secondary structures under di...

On the structural and mechanical properties of mixed coconut and olive oil oleogels and bigels
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 27:131942. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131942. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe interaction of monoglycerides and phytosterols in olive- and coconut oil on the structuring of oleogels was analyzed. Specifically, bigels with gelatin hydrogel in different ratios (40: 60 and 60:40 w/w) were formed. The physicochemical and microstructural attributes of these systems were assessed. The olive oil to coconut oil ratio (0-100 w/w) and the added oleogelators affected the crystal structure and the mechanical properties of the oleogels. Polarized light microscopy revealed that the addition of coconut o...

Associations between short-term exposure to air pollution and thyroid function in a representative sample of the Korean population
CONCLUSIONS: As the subtle changes in thyroid function can affect various organ systems, the present results may have substantial public health implications despite the relatively modest effect sizes. Because this was a cross-sectional study, it is necessary to conduct further experimental or repeated-measures studies to consolidate the current results.PMID:38685294 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2024.119018 (Source: Environmental Research)

Modelling seasonal and geographical n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid contents in marine fish from the Northeast Atlantic Ocean
This study demonstrates that consideration of nutrient contents, such as n-3 PUFAs, when organization and structuring fishery approaches may improve overall nutritional yield. Based on total annual Norwegian fish landings and seasonal variation in n-3 PUFA contents, n-3 PUFAs yield could theoretically be increased from 13.79 kilo ton per year from the current fishing tactics, to 15.54 if the pelagic species were only caught during the time of their seasonal n-3 PUFA peaks. One portion of fatty fish harvested during winter/spring may not meet the weekly intake reference nutritional guidelines for n-3 PUFAs. Marine n-3 PUFAs...

Does diet quality moderate the long-term effects of discrete but extreme PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > exposure on respiratory symptoms? A study of the Hazelwood coalmine fire
Environ Res. 2024 Apr 27:119014. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn 2014, a fire at an open cut coalmine in regional Victoria, Australia burned for 6 weeks. Residents of the nearby town of Morwell were exposed to smoke, which included high levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). We investigated whether the long-term effects of PM2.5 on respiratory health were moderated by diet quality. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted of data collected 8.5 years after the mine fire from 282 residents of Morwell and 166 residents from the nearby unexposed town of Sale. Primary outcomes were respir...
