Challenges on the processing of plant-based neuronutraceuticals and functional foods with emerging technologies: extraction, encapsulation and therapeutic applications
Publication date: Available online 24 July 2019Source: Trends in Food Science & TechnologyAuthor(s): Ádina L. Santana, Gabriela A. MacedoAbstractBackgroundNatural neuronutraceuticals and functional foods are provided by antioxidant molecules that inhibits excessive reactive oxygen species in neurons and simultaneous occurrence of brain-related injuries like depression, dementia, and ischemic stroke. The need for efficient, cheap and sustainable techniques to increase the shelf life and bioaccessibility of natural antioxidants for therapeutic application as replacers to synthetic antioxidants is growing.Scope and approachH...

Vitamin D3 deficiency in puberty rats causes presynaptic malfunctioning through alterations in exocytotic release and uptake of glutamate/GABA and expression of EAAC-1/GAT-3 transporters.
Abstract Recent experimental and epidemiologic investigations have revealed that the central nervous system is a target for vitamin D3 action and also linked vitamin D3 deficiency to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, autism and dementia. Abnormal homeostasis of glutamate and GABA and signaling disbalance are implicated in the pathogenesis of major neurological diseases. Here, key transport characteristics of glutamate and GABA were analysed in presynaptic nerve terminals (synaptosomes) isolated from the cortex of vitamin D3 deficient (VDD) rats. Puberty rats were kept at the VDD diet up to adulthood. VDD caused...

Councils still insisting on 15 minute homecare visits
UNISON has revealed today that 74% of local authorities in England are still limiting homecare visits for their elderly, ill and disabled residents to just 15 minutes. The report – Suffering Alone at Home – is based on an online survey of 1,100 homecare workers and data obtained from a Freedom of Information request (FoI) to the 152 local authorities in England that commission social care visits. Councils using 15 minute visits by English region Eastern 100% East Midlands 89% West Midlands 86% North East 83% North West 82% South East 79% Yorkshire and Humberside 73% South West 69% Greater London 45...
