Pomegranate polyphenol punicalagin improves learning memory deficits, redox homeostasis, and neuroinflammation in aging mice
In this study, we first evaluated the protective effect of PU on neuro-2a (N2a) cell damage mediated by BV2 microglia-induced neuroinflammation. The in vivo D-galactose (D-gal)-induced brain aging model demonstrated that PU ameliorated deficits in learning and memory and prevented neuroinflammation, which was evident from the decrease in microglial activation and astrocytosis. Furthermore, PU reduced the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation, reducing the levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), i...

Biodegradable starch-based packaging films incorporated with polyurethane-encapsulated essential-oil microcapsules for sustained food preservation
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Mar 2:123889. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123889. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNovel starch-based packaging films with sustained antibacterial activity were successfully made by incorporating polyurethane-encapsulated essential-oil microcapsules (EOs@PU) as an alternative synthetic preservative for food preservation. Herein, three essential oils (EOs) were blended to make composite essential oils with a more harmonious aroma and higher antibacterial ability and encapsulated into polyurethane (PU) to form EOs@PU microcapsules based on interfacial polymerization. The morphology of the constructed ...

On the regional distribution of cerebral microvascular 'raspberries' and their association with cerebral atherosclerosis and acute circulatory failure
CONCLUSION: An association between raspberry density and C-ASCL is supported but is weaker than previously indicated. An association with ACF is not indicated. The raspberry density of the frontal cortex provides an approximation of the brain's total raspberry density.PMID:36691600 | PMC:PMC9860404 | DOI:10.1016/j.cccb.2023.100157 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Rhododendrol, a reductive metabolite of raspberry ketone, suppresses the differentiation of 3T3 ‑L1 cells into adipocytes
Mol Med Rep. 2023 Feb;27(2):51. doi: 10.3892/mmr.2023.12938. Epub 2023 Jan 12.ABSTRACTObesity is a serious medical condition worldwide, and a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cancer and cardiovascular disease. In addition to changes in dietary habits and physical activity, consuming supplements to maintain good health and prevent obesity is important in modern society. Raspberry ketone (RK) is a natural phenolic ketone found in the European red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) and is hypothesized to prevent obesity when administered orally. The present study found that RK was reduced to rhododendrol (R...
