Effects of epicatechin on cardiovascular function in middle-aged diet-induced obese rat models of metabolic syndrome
This study aimed to investigate the cardiovascular effects of epicatechin, a flavonoid found in green tea and cocoa, in attenuating complications associated with metabolic syndrome in diet-induced obese rats.Male Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats aged 16 weeks were fed either standard rat chow (SC) or given a high-fat-high-carbohydrate (HFHC) diet for 20 weeks. Epicatechin treatment (5mg/kg/day) was administered to a subset of WKY rats commencing at week 8 of the 20 week HFHC feeding period. Body weights, food, water and energy intakes, blood pressure, heart rate and glucose tolerance were measured throughout the treatment period. O...

Significant Changes in Resting Metabolic Rate Over a Competitive Match Week Are Accompanied by an Absence of Nutritional Periodization in Male Professional Soccer Players
We report, for the first time, that RMR is significantly increased following a competitive match in professional soccer players. In addition, we confirm previous findings to reinforce that players exhibit inadequate nutrition periodization practices, which may impair physical performance and recovery.PMID:37734739 | DOI:10.1123/ijsnem.2023-0069

NMR chemical shift prediction and structural elucidation of linker-containing oligo- and polysaccharides using the computer program CASPER
Carbohydr Res. 2023 Sep 4;533:108937. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2023.108937. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCarbohydrate structures containing alkyl groups as aglycones are useful for investigating enzyme activity and glycan-protein interactions. Moreover, linker-containing oligosaccharides with a spacer group are commonly used to print glycan microarrays or to prepare protein-conjugates as vaccine candidates. The structural accuracy of these synthesized glycans are essential for interpretation of results from biological experiments in which the compounds have been used and NMR spectroscopy can unravel and confirm their structu...

Modeling and investigation of swelling kinetics of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/starch/citric acid superabsorbent polymer
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Sep 19:127013. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCrosslinked hydrophilic polymers with high water absorption rates are known as superabsorbent polymers (SAPs). Most commercial superabsorbent polymers are made with acrylic acid, which is difficult to biodegrade. So, in this investigation, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was utilized as a significant component in the synthesis of polysaccharide-based SAPs. Citric acid (CA) and starch were chosen as crosslinking agents because they are more eco-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable than traditional crosslinking agents....

Photosynthetic conversion of carbon dioxide from cement production to microalgae biomass
In this study, a process of selecting a suitable strain that would effectively utilize carbon dioxide and generate biomass was investigated. A down-selection screening method was applied to 28 strains isolated from the area surrounding a commercial cement plant. In laboratory-scale (1 L) continuous-mode chemostats, observed productivity was > 0.9 g L-1 d-1 for most strains studied. Chlorella sorokiniana (strain SMC-14M) appeared to be the most tolerant to cement kiln gas emissions in situ, delivered under control of a pH-stat system, and was down-selected to further investigate growth and biomass production at large-sca...

Pentraxins in invertebrates and vertebrates: From structure, function and evolution to clinical applications
Dev Comp Immunol. 2023 Sep 19:105064. doi: 10.1016/j.dci.2023.105064. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe immune system is divided into two broad categories, consisting of innate and adaptive immunity. As recognition and effector factors of innate immunity and regulators of adaptive immune responses, lectins are considered to be important defense chemicals against microbial pathogens, cell trafficking, immune regulation, and prevention of autoimmunity. Pentraxins, important members of animal lectins, play a significant role in protecting the body from pathogen infection and regulating inflammatory reactions. They can recogni...

Meal sugar-protein balance determines postprandial FGF21 response in humans
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.1152/ajpendo.00241.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBiological mechanisms that regulate dietary balance remain unclear. FGF21 is suggested to contribute to such potential regulation considering that FGF21 1) is genetically associated with carbohydrate/sugar and protein intake in opposite directions, 2) is secreted after sugar ingestion and protein restriction, and 3) pharmacologically reduces sugar and increases protein intake in rodents. To gain insight of the nature of this potential regulation, we aimed to study macronutrient interactions in the secretory regulation...

Comparative genomic analysis of < em > Periweissella < /em > and the characterization of novel motile species
This study aimed to determine the phylogenetic relationship between Periweissella and the two closest genera, Weissella and Furfurilactobacillus, by the phylogenetic analysis and calculation of (core gene) pairwise average amino acid identity. Targeted genomic analysis showed that fructose bisphosphate aldolase was only present in the genome of Pw. cryptocerci. Mannitol dehydrogenase was found in genomes of Pw. beninensis, Pw. fabaria, and Pw. fabalis. Untargeted genomic analysis identified the presence of flagellar genes in Periweissella but not in other closely related genera. Phenotypes related to carbohydrate fermentat...

A galectin-9 involved in the microbial recognition and haemocyte autophagy in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas
Dev Comp Immunol. 2023 Sep 18:105063. doi: 10.1016/j.dci.2023.105063. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGalectin-9 is a tandem-repeat type member of galectin family participating in various immune responses, such as cell agglutination, phagocytosis, and autophagy. In the present study, a tandem repeat galectin-9 (defined as CgGal-9) was identified from Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, which consisted of two conserved carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) joined by a linker peptide. CgGal-9 was closely clustered with CaGal-9 from C. angulata, and they were assigned into the branch of invertebrate galectin-9s in the phylogene...
