... In this study, tomato seed oil conventional emulsion (7 μm) and nanoemulsion (0.146 µm) with desirable stability were prepared, then the effect of tomato seed oil addition (bulk and emulsified forms) and thermal treatment on properties of tomato juice was evaluated. Tomato juice without oil and heat treatment exhibited the lowest bioaccessibility of lycopene (17.8 %). Incorporation of oil and appl ...

Abstract:
... Urotensin II (UII) is a kind of fish somatostatins cyclic peptide, which was originally extracted from the caudal neurosecretory system (CNSS). The system of UII and UII receptor (UIIR) has been reported to have multiple physiological regulatory functions, such as cardiovascular control, osmoregulation, and lipid metabolism. However, the effect of UII and UIIR on the ovarian development has not be ...

Abstract:
... Cadmium (Cd), a ubiquitous environmental hazardous heavy metal, poses a significant threat to the health of aquatic organisms, including teleosts. Although the toxic profile of Cd is well recognized, little is known regarding the overall view of toxic responses to varying aquatic environmental parameters (e.g., water hardness) at an individual level. Herein, differences in water hardness were part ...

Abstract:
... The formation and growth of ice crystals are widely acknowledged to cause damage to different substances and we found short-clustered maltodextrin (SCMD) could alleviate the quality deterioration of frozen dough in previous research. But how SCMD interacts with dough components such as yeast is poorly understood. Here, we analyze the ice-recrystallization-inhibition (IRI) activity of SCMD and prov ...
... In our previous study, two crude polysaccharides from red kidney bean and small black soybean (RK, SB) have shown the alleviative effect on type 2 diabetic mice. Meanwhile, hepatic dysfunction usually accompanied with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and closely related to glucose and lipid homeostasis. Therefore, this time we further investigated the protective effect on hepatic dysfunction of RK ...

Here, we conducted the first investigation of the occurrences, spatiotemporal trends, and potential risks of twelve metabolites of PAEs (mPAEs) in 74 humpback dolphins from the northern South China Sea during 200 ...
... Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a novel type of persistent synthetic organic pollutant, and its exposure on pregnant women can cause some adverse effects, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, and preeclampsia. Therefore, understanding the metabolic changes caused by PFOA exposure is of great significance to protect pregnant women from its adverse effects. In this ...

Abstract:
... Insoluble dietary fibre from citrus peels (CIDF) was found to have adsorption and inhibitory effect on the activity of pancreatic lipase (PL). CIDF-400 exhibited the greatest adsorption and activity inhibition effect on PL. The fluorescence quenching spectra indicated that CIDF could quench PL through a dynamic quenching process induced by the electrostatic interactions with only one binding site ...

Abstract:
... Anthocyanins can be induced by environmental factors such as low- temperature, and play an important role in adapting to abiotic stress. In this study, the leaves of 'Cabernet Gernischt' grapes with different colors under natural low-temperature in autumn were collected and grouped into Green (Gre), Light-red (L-Red), Red (Red), and Dark-red (D-Red). Results showed that the total anthocyanin conte ...
... Transcriptional regulator PRD1-BF-1-RIZ1 homology (PR) domain containing protein-16 (PRDM16) has a fundamental function in maintaining energy homeostasis and regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, which are responsible for the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the impact of genetic variation of PRDM16 gene on T2D risk remains to be investigated. Thus, we evaluated the possible assoc ...
... Resistant starch (RS) has caught much attention for its potential to exert a beneficial impact on intestine and certain members of its resident microbiota. In this study, we examined how dietary RS promotes intestinal barrier in meat ducks by microbiome-metabolomics analysis. Ducklings were fed corn-soybean basal diet or RS diet. Dietary RS improved intestinal morphology and enhanced barrier funct ...
... A better understanding of metabolic responses is necessary to elucidate interactive effects between water temperature and Zn. This study is performed to investigate the interactive influences of dietary Zn and water temperature on Zn transport, heat stress and lipid metabolism in the livers of freshwater teleost yellow catfish Pelteobagrus fulvidraco. A 2 × 2 factorial design is used in this study ...
... In this research, two sequential Dendrobium officinale water extracts (WDOE and WDOP1) were shown to significantly ameliorate type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) in a mouse model. WDOP1 was identified as a glucomannan with a backbone of 1,4-linked Manp and 1,4-linked Glcp and an average molecular weight of 731 kDa. We also found that both WDOE and WDOP1 could significantly alleviate glucose intoleranc ...
