Abstract:
... Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a prevalent autosomal genetic disease associated with increased risk of early cardiovascular events and death due to chronic exposure to very high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c). Pathogenic variants in the coding regions of LDLR, APOB and PCSK9 account for most FH cases, and variants in non-coding regions maybe involved in FH as well. Va ...
... The strong effect of protein digestion products on gastrointestinal-released hormones is recognised. However, little is known about the specific peptide sequences able to induce gastrointestinal hormone secretion and the receptors involved. Our objective was to identify peptides able to induce the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK) and glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the enteroendocrine cell li ...

Abstract:
... The use of insects to model molecular events that characterize degenerative conditions was originally met with scepticism. However, the discovery of insect insulin-like peptides in the 1970's and the demonstration of evolutionary conservation of insulin-related signalling from insects to mammals have highlighted the importance and reduced cost of insect models in biomedical research. Here, we expa ...
... The improvement of disease resistance is vital in aquaculture as diseases are one of the serious threats to successful aquaculture. Understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying disease resistance is important in improving resistance against diseases. The pIgR (polymeric immunoglobulin receptor) gene plays an important role in the mucosal immunity of fish. However, not much is known about its r ...

... This study aimed to characterize mixtures of goat milk proteins and Agaricus blazei Murrill (ABM) extracts (aqueous, AE and polysaccharides, PE). The mixtures showed stable particles with ζ-potential more negative than −41.1 mV. The addition of AMB extracts to goat milk did not result in a significant particle size change, whereas their addition to heated goat milk significantly increased mean par ...

However, the specific mechanism by which COE regulates gastric canc ...
... As a new type of environmental pollutant, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose a huge challenge to global health. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) represents an important route for the spread of ARGs. The widespread use of sulfamethazine (SM2) as a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic agent leads to high residual levels in the environment, thereby increasing the spread of ARGs. Therefore, we chose to st ...
... For sustainable aquaculture, the replacement of dietary fishmeal with plant protein is becoming more common because fishmeal resources are limited. However, in the case of carnivorous fish such as yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata), reducing the dietary fishmeal level often causes low feed intake. Improving feed intake is important in the use of a non- and low-fishmeal diet. However, little is kn ...
