Hepatoprotection mechanism against alcohol-induced liver injury in vivo and structural characterization of Pinus koraiensis pine nut polysaccharide.
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that Pinus koraiensis pine nut polysaccharide PNP80b-2 exerts widely protective effects against liver injury induced by chemical pollutants, alcohol and drugs. By comparison, PNP80b-2 exhibits the strongest hepatoprotection against alcohol-induced liver injury (AILI). Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the hepatoprotection mechanisms of PNP80b-2 against AILI in vivo. The results indicated that PNP80b-2 alleviated oxidative stress induced by alcohol through enhancing antioxidant capacity of hepatocytes via NRF2/HO-1 pathway. PNP80b-2 also effectively suppr...

Exploration on self-equilibrium rule and adsorption-desorption model between pine nut (Pinus koraiensis) peptide molecules and environmental moisture molecules
Publication date: Available online 5 February 2020Source: Food Research InternationalAuthor(s): Ruiwen Yang, Huapeng Ju, Liyan Yuan, Haiqing Ye, Songyi LinAbstractThe storage of pine nut (Pinus koraiensis) peptide (PNP) powder involves hygroscopic phenomena. To investigate the adsorption and self-equilibrium rules between these peptides and the environmental moisture molecules, several studies such as low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR), dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) and adsorption-desorption models were done. The results showed that the outward moisture migration occurred during storage as 7.80% and 16.68% moistu...

Tree Nuts Anaphylaxis in Preschool Age Children.
Conclusions. In preschool age children with TNs-FIA, cashew and walnut were the commonest implicated nuts. Most reactions occurred briefly after exposure to minimal amounts of TNs, demonstrating the high potency of these allergens. About one-third also had peanut sensitization. Potentially life-threatening TNs allergy can occur early in childhood and adequate management should be undertaken.

Plant extracts such as pine nut shell, peanut shell and jujube leaf improved the antioxidant ability and gas permeability of chitosan films.
Abstract
In order to develop the antioxidant and gas permeability packaging film, the effects of three plant extracts (pine nut shell, peanut shell and jujube leaf) on the physical, antioxidative and structural properties of chitosan based biodegradable films were studied. The results showed that three plant extracts improved the antioxidant capacity of films. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of chitosan-jujube leaf films increased by 3.8 times compared with the control films. The chitosan-pine nut shell films had the highest water vapor and oxygen permeability, while chitosan-peanut shell films showed...

Comparative study on hepatoprotection of pine nut (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc.) polysaccharide against different types of chemical-induced liver injury models in vivo.
This study comprehensively investigated its hepatoprotective activities against different types of chemical-induced liver injury in vivo. Carbon tetrachloride, alcohol and acetaminophen were used as hepatic toxicants to establish chemical pollutant-induced liver injury (CILI) model, alcohol induced-liver injury (AILI) model and drug-induced liver injury (DILI) model, respectively. The results showed that PNP80b-2 prevented elevation of biomarkers for liver injury in each model, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and total bilirubin (TBIL). The expression o...

Clinical Manifestations and Risk Factors of Anaphylaxis in Pollen-Food Allergy Syndrome.
CONCLUSION: The most common culprit foods causing anaphylaxis in PFAS were peanut and apple. The presence of atopic dermatitis; sensitization to hazel, timothy, or ragweed; and a greater number of culprit foods were risk factors for anaphylaxis in PFAS.

Pinolenic acid ameliorates oleic acid-induced lipogenesis and oxidative stress via AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway in HepG2 cells.
Abstract
Pinolenic acid (PLA), a natural compound isolated from pine nut oil, has been reported to exert bioactivity against lipid anabolism. Nonetheless, the underlying mechanisms still poorly elucidated. The aim of this study is to comprehensively demonstrate the effects of PLA on oleic acid (OA)-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and their relationship with the lipid metabolic regulation. The results demonstrated that treatment with PLA dramatically inhibited lipid accumulation, oxidative stress as well as inflammatory responses induced by oleic acid in HepG2 cells. PLA also obviously dec...

Structural characterization and in vitro hepatoprotective activity of polysaccharide from pine nut (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc.)
Publication date: Available online 8 July 2019Source: Carbohydrate PolymersAuthor(s): Hang Qu, Xin Gao, Hai-Tian Zhao, Zhen-Yu Wang, Juan-Juan YiAbstractA new purified polysaccharide (PNP40c-1) with a molecular weight of 2.06 × 105 Da was obtained from pine nuts (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc.). Structural analysis indicated that PNP40c-1 is a homogeneous heteropolysaccharide composed of arabinose, rhamnose and glucose in a molar ratio of 2.98:1.00:0.52. The major backbone consisted of →3,4)-α-L-Arap(1→, →4)-α-L-Arap3Me(1→, →3)-α-L-Rhap(1→ and →6)-β-D-Glcp(1→, and the side chain is β-D-Glcp-(1→...

The association between metabolic syndrome and peanuts, pine nuts, almonds consumption: The Ansan and Ansung Study
ConclusionThe results of the present study suggested that peanut, almond, and fine nut intake ( ≥15 g/week) may be inversely related to incidence risk of MetS in the Korean general population. Additionally, the association between nut consumption and MetS incidence risk may differ in sex and age subgroups. (Source: Endocrine)
