The microalga Chlorella vulgaris is a popular food ingredient widely used in the industry, with an increasing market size and value. Currently, several edible strains of C. different organoleptic characteristics are commercialized to meet consumer needs. This study aimed compare fatty acid (FA) lipid profile four (C-Auto, C-Hetero, C-Honey, C-White) using gas- liquid-chromatography coupled mass-spectrometry approaches, evaluate their antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties. Results showed...
Oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) have emerged as critical damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and modulators of numerous biological processes, including inflammation, playing a significant role in health disease. Despite their recognized influence on macrophage polarization, the precise mechanisms by which distinct OxPL species shape behavior remains poorly understood. The present study investigates impact two oxidized phosphatidylcholines (OxPC): omega 3...
Antibacterial resistance causes around 1.27 million deaths annually the globe and has been recognized as a top 3 priority health threat. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is considered promising alternative to conventional antibiotic treatments. Algal lipid extracts have shown antibacterial effects when used photosensitizers (PSs) in aPDT. In this work we assessed efficiency of lipidic microalgae belonging different phyla (Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta, Cyanobacteria, Haptophyta,...
In recent years, several studies have demonstrated that polyunsaturated fatty acids strong immunomodulatory properties, altering functions of macrophages. the present work, we sought to provide a multi-omic approach combining analysis lipidome, proteome, and metabolome RAW 264.7 macrophages supplemented with phospholipids containing omega-3 (PC 18:0/22:6; ω3-PC) or omega-6 18:0/20:4; ω6-PC) acids, alone in presence lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Supplementation ω3 ω6 plus LPS produced significant...
Abstract Background Infertility is a major health issue, affecting 15% of reproductive‐age couples with male factors contributing to 50% cases. Asthenozoospermia (AS), or low sperm motility, common cause infertility complex aetiology, involving genetic and metabolic alterations, inflammation oxidative stress. However, the molecular mechanisms behind motility are unclear. In this study, we used metabolomics approach identify biomarkers pathways involved in motility. Methods We compared...
Pastry products constitute a significant segment of the food market. However, high amount fat used in their production poses challenge when competing for attention modern consumers, who are more conscious health problems associated with consumption high-fat products. With this mind, main objective study is reduction total and saturated contents two bakery products, brioche-type bread rice cake, by partial substitution source
