Ultra-processed plant-based foods, such as burgers, have gained in popularity. Particularly the out-of-home (OOH) environment, evidence regarding their nutritional profile and environmental sustainability is still evolving. Plant-based burgers available at selected OOH sites were randomly sampled Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Lisbon London. (patty, bread condiment) (
Pseudocereals have gained attention due to their adaptability different climates, high nutritional value, and suitability for gluten-free plant-based diets. However, a challenge lies in the necessary adaptations diet pathways, mainly lack of matrix-matching metrological tools. To address this problem, we developed classification system support laboratory decisions without shaped Proficiency Testing (PT) or Certified/Standard References Material. This evaluates method performance through...
Abstract Background The gut microbiota has been implicated in the onset and progression of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). It proposed that dysbiosis impairs barrier function, leading to alterations mucosal integrity immunity. This disruption allows bacterial translocation, contributing perpetuation inflammatory process. Since diet is recognised as a key environmental factor influencing microbiota, nutritional interventions targeting RA activity are currently being explored. study aims...
Little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of endothelial cell (EC) proliferation by retinal pericytes and vice versa. In a model coculture with bovine lasting for 24 h, rat brain ECs showed an increase in arachidonic acid (AA) release, whereas Western blot RT-PCR analyses revealed that activated protein expression cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) its phosphorylated form calcium-independent intracellular (iPLA2). No activation same enzymes was seen companion pericytes. ECs, level...
The key aspect of neonatal meningitis is related to the ability pathogens invade blood-brain barrier (BBB) and penetrate central nervous system. In present study we show that, in an vitro model BBB, on basis co-culturing primary bovine brain endothelial cells (BBEC) retinal pericytes (BRPC), Escherichia coli infection determines changes transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) permeability (Pe) sodium fluorescein. co-culture model, within BBEC, bacteria are able stimulate cytosolic...
The red macroalga Gelidium corneum is a species commercially exploited for agar extraction, though with enormous potential other industrial applications. This work aimed to produce protein-rich extracts from the crude alga and residues of extraction process by applying different recovery procedures, characterize obtained protein extracts. sequential implementation two water extractions followed alkaline resulted in 12.0 ± 1.2 % 15.4 0.9 total contents residues, respectively. Two assisted...
Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is a fire-retardant containing bromine, produced in large quantities worldwide and extensively used several industrial products. This compound was identified as potential contaminant of the environment, causing toxicity to organisms. However, its remains poorly understood marine bivalves. The first objective this work evaluate impact TBBPA on mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) exposed for 28 days various concentrations (0, 1, 10, 100 µg·L−1), by assessing...
To investigate the molecular mechanisms of antiangiogenic activity UPARANT, an antagonist urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), on primary human retinal endothelial cells (HREC) as a model in vitro angiogenesis.The UPARANT was evaluated cell migration, invasion, and tube formation. Human REC were further analyzed for viability, transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER), tight junction (TJ) expression at protein mRNA levels. Vascular growth factor-related signaling...
