Inverse correlations between serum carotenoids and respiratory morbidity and mortality: the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
The objective was to evaluate the association between Serum carotenoid levels and respiratory morbidity and mortality in a nationally representative sample of US adults. Design: We assessed the association of serum carotenoid levels with respiratory morbidity and mortality using logistic regression and proportional hazards regression models. Meanwhile, a series of confounders were controlled in regression models and RCS, which included age, sex, race, marriage, education, income, drinking, smoking, regular exercise, BMI, daily energy intake, vitamin E, vitamin C, fruit intake, vegetable intake, diabetes, hypertension, asth...

Bonglee Kim
Green alga Caulerpa racemosa is an underexploited species of macroalgae, even though it is characterized by a green color that indicates an abundance of bioactive pigments, such as chlorophyll and possibly xanthophyll. Unlike chlorophyll, which has been well explored, the composition of the carotenoids of C. racemosa and its biological activities have not been reported. Therefore, this study aims to look at the carotenoid profile and composition of C. racemose and determine their biological activities, which include antidiabetic, anti-obesity, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxicity in v...

Morphological and molecular comparison as a useful tool for identification of the three centric marine diatoms (Bacillariophyceae: Chaetoceros)
The objective of this study was to identify morphological and molecular comparison of three marine Chaetoceros species using microscopic observations, sequence analysis of 18S rDNA, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR) barcoding and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Chaetoceros were obtained from three different algae laboratories: Center of Excellence for Marine Biotechnology (CEMB), Chanthaburi Coastal Fisheries Research and Development (CHAN) and Institute of Marine Science, Burapha University (BIM). Genomic DNA for the RAPD-PCR analysis was extracted using the phenol-chloroform method, followed by 1...

Complete genome of Sphingomonas paucimobilis ZJSH1, an endophytic bacterium from Dendrobium officinale with stress resistance and growth promotion potential
Arch Microbiol. 2023 Mar 23;205(4):132. doi: 10.1007/s00203-023-03459-2.ABSTRACTSphingomonas paucimobilis ZJSH1 is an endophytic bacterium isolated from the roots of Dendrobium officinale with the ability to promote plant growth. It was found that the genome of strain ZJSH1 had gene fragment rearrangement compared with the genomes of the other four strains of S. paucimobilis, and the genome was integrated with phage genes. Functional analysis showed that the strain contained colonization-related genes, chemotaxis and invasion. A variety of genes encoding active materials, such as hormones (IAA, SA, ABA and zeaxanthin), pho...

The Association between Dietary Carotenoid Intake and Risk of Depression among Patients with Cardiometabolic Disease
This study aimed to assess the association of dietary carotenoid intake with risk of depression among patients with cardiometabolic disease.Data were obtained from the 2005 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Participants aged ≥ 20 years with any chronic cardiometabolic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and stroke, were included in this cross-sectional study.We enrolled a total of 8655 cardiometabolic disease patients in the analysis. Compared to those in the lowest tertile, patients with cardiometabolic disease in the third tertiles of dietary α-car...
