Bifidobacteria are gaining increasing interest as health-promoting bacteria. Nonetheless, the genus comprises several species, which can exert different effects on human host. Previous studies showed that wild blueberry drink consumption could selectively increase intestinal bifidobacteria, suggesting an important role for polyphenols and fiber present in blueberries. This study evaluated modulation of most common abundant bifidobacterial taxonomic groups inhabiting gut same fecal samples....
The comet assay or single cell gel electrophoresis, is the most common method used to measure strand breaks and a variety of other DNA lesions in human populations. To estimate risk overall mortality, mortality by cause, cancer incidence associated damage, cohort 2,403 healthy individuals (25,978 person-years) screened 16 laboratories using between 1996 2016 was followed-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated worse survival medium high tertile damage (p < 0.001). effect on modelled according...
The effect of wild blueberry consumption on anthocyanin (ACNs) distribution and metabolism in Sprague−Dawley (SD) rats was investigated. Thirty-two were fed for 4 or 8 weeks with a control (C) blueberry-enriched diet (8%) (WB). Anthocyanin profile plasma, urine, feces, brain, liver evaluated by LC-MS/MS, significantly increased urine not feces after the WB compared to that weeks, but no anthocyanins detected liver, brain samples either C groups. Metabolites ACNs tissues both groups, urinary...
Intestinal inflammation is a natural process crucial for the maintenance of gut functioning. However, abnormal or prolonged inflammatory responses may lead to onset chronic degenerative diseases, typically treated by means pharmacological interventions. Dietary strategies prevention are safer alternative pharmacotherapy. Anthocyanins and other polyphenols have been documented display anti-inflammatory activity. In present study, three bioactive fractions (anthocyanin, phenolic, water-soluble...
This study evaluated the effects of storage on total and single anthocyanin (ACN) content, antioxidant activity (TAA) freeze-dried wild blueberry (WB) powder maintained at 25, 42, 60, 80 °C for 49 days. Storage reduced ACN content all temperatures; it was slower 25 (−3% after 2 weeks), whereas faster 60 (−60%) (−85%) 3 The values half-life time (t1/2) were found to be 139, 39, 12 days °C, respectively, utilizing Arrhenius equation. No significant detected TAA by temperature increase. In...
