Dietary carbohydrate fibers are known to prevent immunological diseases common in Western countries such as allergy and asthma but the underlying mechanisms largely unknown. Until now beneficial effects of dietary mainly attributed fermentation products anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Here, we found present a new mechanism by which can be anti-inflammatory: commonly consumed fiber, pectin, blocks innate immune receptors. We show that pectin binds inhibits, toll-like...
We aimed to investigate and compare the effects of four types pectins on dietary fiber (DF) fermentation, microbiota composition, short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production throughout large intestine in rats.Male Wistar rats were given diets supplemented with or without 3% structurally different for 7 weeks. Different fermentation patterns location pectin diet arabinoxylans (AXs) observed. During cecal sugar beet significantly stimulated Lactobacillus (p < 0.01) Lachnospiraceae 0.05). The...
In this study, we systematically investigated the structural characterization and in vitro fermentation patterns of crude black mulberry fruit polysaccharides (BMPs), either extracted by water (BMP) or enzymatic treatment. Different treatments were pectinase-extracted (PE)-BMP, pectin lyase-extracted (PL)-BMP, cellulase-extracted (CE)-BMP, compound enzymes-extracted (M)-BMP (pectinase:pectin lyase:cellulase = 1:1:1). Our results show that treatment improved polysaccharide yield led to a...
Red raspberries are gaining attention more and for their nutritional bioactive components, with potential health effects such as antitumor properties. This review aims to describe the antioxidant activities of red raspberries, emphasizing role anthocyanins ellagitannins primary contributors among raspberry polyphenols; it also outlined connection between in inhibiting cancer cell growth by regulating oxidative stress. Numerous studies suggest that able block progression proliferation,...
Dietary supplementation of selenium-enriched tea is known to have an anticancer health benefit. This study was investigate the inhibitory effect selenium-containing polysaccharides (Se-GTPs) from a new variety Ziyang green against human MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Se-GTPs dose-dependently exhibited effective cell growth inhibition with IC50 140.1 μg/mL by inducing cells undergo G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis. The blockade cycle associated up-regulation p53 expression, but not CDK2. clearly...
This study was designed to investigate the antioxidant activity, hepatoprotective effect, and phenolic composition of ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) extracted from Houttuynia cordata tea. EAF shown exhibit strong ferric-reducing power (FRAP) scavenging activity against DPPH radical in vitro, effects were further verified by suppressing CCl₄-induced oxidative stress mouse liver at three tested doses (250, 500, 1000 mg/kg bw). Pretreatment with (1000 bw) prior CCl₄ administration significantly...
In this review, recent advances in the study of isolation, purification, structural characterization, biological activity and structure–activity relationship mulberry polysaccharides are summarized discussed.
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a globally utilized industrial chemical and commonly used as monomer of polycarbonate plastics epoxy resins. Recent research reveals that BPA could cause potential adverse biological effects liver dysfunction. However, the underlying mechanisms BPA-induced hepatoxicity gut dysbiosis remain unclear deserve further study. In this study, male Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to different doses (0, 30, 90, 270 mg/kg bw) by gavage for 30 days. The results showed high dose...
In recent decades, the capability of mankind spermatogenesis is declining due to various threats. Anthocyanins as colorful polyphenols possess beneficial functions for organisms, including Leydig cells, but their effects on male remain underexplored. our study, protective effect cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) was investigated 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (3-MCPD) caused rat spermatogenic disorders. At low doses, C3G improved number and motility sperms, alleviating seminiferous tubule injury....
The aim of this study was to investigate the structural characteristics and in vitro fermentation patterns polysaccharides from Boletus mushrooms. Polysaccharides were solubilized fruit bodies selected mushrooms auripes, B. bicolor, griseus using subcritical water extraction. characterized for their general physicochemical pattern, constituent monosaccharides molecular weight. A simulated model used utilization by gut microbiota consequent modulation microbial communities. Results showed...
