Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1872: Analysis of Volatile Aroma Components in Different Parts of Shiitake Mushroom (Lentinus edodes) Treated with Ultraviolet C Light-Emitting Diodes Based on Gas Chromatography & ndash;Ion Mobility Spectroscopy
In this study, a comparison of UVC-LED irradiation treatment on the flavor profiles in various parts of shiitake mushrooms was conducted using gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) and sensory analysis. Sixty-three volatile compounds were identified in shiitake mushrooms. The fresh shiitake mushrooms were characterized by the highest values of raw mushroom odors. After UVC-LED treatment, the content of C8 alcohols decreased, especially that of 1-octen-3-ol, while the content of aldehydes increased, especially the content of nonanal and decanal. The score of fatty and green odors was enhanced. ...

Co-culturing Propionibacterium freudenreichii and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis improves short-chain fatty acids and vitamin B < sub > 12 < /sub > contents in soy whey
Food Microbiol. 2024 Aug;121:104525. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2024.104525. Epub 2024 Mar 29.ABSTRACTThe lack of vitamin B12 in unprocessed plant-based foods can lead to health problems in strict vegetarians and vegans. The main aim of this study was to investigate the potential synergy of co-culturing Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis and Propionibacterium freudenreichii in improving production of vitamin B12 and short-chain fatty acids in soy whey. Different strategies including mono-, sequential and simultaneous cultures were adopted. Growth, short-chain fatty acids and vitamin B12 were assessed throughout the fermentation...

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Regulate Surgical Brain Injury by Activating the cGAS-STING Pathway
In this study, we found that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) were present in the circulation and brain tissues of rats after SBI, which promoted neuroinflammation, cerebral edema, neuronal cell death, and aggravated neurological dysfunction. Inhibition of NETs formation by peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) inhibitor or disruption of NETs with deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) attenuated SBI-induced damages and improved the recovery of neurological function. We show that SBI triggered the activation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING), and that inhi...

Gut dysbiosis impairs intestinal renewal and lipid absorption in Scarb2 deficiency-associated neurodegeneration
Protein Cell. 2024 Apr 18:pwae016. doi: 10.1093/procel/pwae016. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTScavenger receptor class B, member 2 (SCARB2) is linked to Gaucher disease (GD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Deficiency in the SCARB2 gene causes progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME), a rare group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by myoclonus. We found that Scarb2 deficiency in mice leads to age-dependent dietary lipid malabsorption, accompanied with vitamin E deficiency. Our investigation revealed that Scarb2 deficiency is associated with gut dysbiosis and an altered bile acid pool, leading to hyperactivatio...

Enantioselective Bioaccumulation and Toxicological Effects of Chiral Neonicotinoid Sulfoxaflor in Rats
In this study, toxicokinetics, bioaccumulation, tissue distribution and enantiomeric profiles of sulfoxaflor in rats were investigated through single oral exposure and 28-days continuous exposure experiment. Sulfoxaflor mainly accumulated in liver and kidney, and the (-)-2R,3R-sufloxaflor and (-)-2S,3R-sufloxaflor had higher enrichment than their enantiomers in rats. The toxicological effects were evaluated after 28-days exposure. Slight inflammation in liver and kidney were observed by histopathology. Sphingolipid, amino acid, and vitamin B6 metabolism pathways were significantly disturbed in metabonomics analysis. These ...

Vitamin D status of pregnant women with obesity in the United Kingdom and its association with pregnancy outcomes: a secondary analysis of the UPBEAT study
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 18:1-28. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000862. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrenatal vitamin D deficiency is widely reported and may affect perinatal outcomes. In this secondary analysis of the UK Pregnancies Better Eating and Activity Trial (UPBEAT), we examined vitamin D status and its relationship with selected pregnancy outcomes in women with obesity (BMI≥30kg/m2) from multi-ethnic inner-city settings in the UK. Determinants of vitamin D status at a mean of 17±1 weeks' gestation were assessed using multivariable linear regression and reported as percent differences in serum hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D)....

The Role of Blood Testing in Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Chronic Diseases: A Review
Am J Med Sci. 2024 Apr 16:S0002-9629(24)01169-8. doi: 10.1016/j.amjms.2024.04.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBlood tests are vital to prevention, diagnosis, and management of chronic diseases. Despite this, it can be challenging to construct a comprehensive view of the clinical importance of blood testing because relevant literature is typically fragmented across different disease areas and patient populations. This lack of collated evidence can also make it difficult for primary care providers to adhere to best practices for blood testing across different diseases and guidelines. Thus, this review article synthesizes ...

The effects of cholecalciferol and afamelanotide on vitamin D levels in erythropoietic protoporphyria; a multicentre cohort study
CONCLUSION: Cholecalciferol remains essential for treatment of vitamin D deficiency in EPP, irrespective of new treatment options like afamelanotide. Afamelanotide treatment did not affect vitamin D levels. We suggest that future guidelines include continuous monitoring of vitamin D and prescription of cholecalciferol in all patients with EPP, including those treated with afamelanotide.PMID:38634774 | DOI:10.1093/bjd/ljae148 (Source: The British Journal of Dermatology)
