This study examined the effects of syringic acid (SA) on obese diet-induced hepatic dysfunction.
The physicochemical characteristics and textural properties of yellow croaker treated by hot air drying (HAD), low temperature vacuum (LVD), freeze (FD) methods were studied. dried fish LVD had the lowest moisture content highest protein. volatile basic nitrogen values HAD, LVD, FD 66.27, 34.38, 33.03 mg/100 g sample, respectively. predominant amino acids lysine, taurine, alanine, glutamic acid, ones HAD remaining analyzed in this study, except acid. By using color parameters, L* b* showed...
Abstract Background This study aims to investigate the potential anti-inflammatory effects of exosomes engineered carry super-repressor IκB (Exo-srIκB), an exosome-based NF-κB inhibitor, in context RA. Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and synovial fluid (SFMCs) were collected from patients diagnosed with RA treated Exo-srIκB test therapeutic potential. Flow cytometry analysis was performed assess production inflammatory cytokines (IL-17A GM-CSF) by cells. ELISA utilized...
Flavonoids, secondary plant metabolites which mainly have a polyphenolic structure, play an important role in plant-microbe communications for nitrogen-fixing symbiosis. Among 10 compounds isolated from soybean roots our previous study, coumestrol showed the highest antioxidant activity. In this its effect on nodulation was tested. The symbiont Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110 pretreated with 20 μM enhanced by increasing number of nodules 1.7-fold compared to control. We also tested B....
This study investigated the mechanism of processed tomato vinegar beverage (TVB)-mediated anti-obesity and anti-insulin resistance effects in high-fat diet (HF)-induced obese mice. Oral administration TVB (14 mL kg−1 body weight) to HF-fed mice for 6 weeks effectively reduced visceral fat weight significantly lowered plasma free fatty acid, triglyceride hepatic levels. increased fecal excretion, both phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) peroxisome...
This study analyzed 192 samples of Porphyra dentata (P-dent) and 201 yezoensis (P-yezo) from Jeonnam in Korea. Principal component analysis (PCA) correlation were conducted to establish a nutritional dataset for laver. The revealed that P-dent had higher moisture weight but lower protein content than P-yezo. Ca, Mg, Fe levels P-dent, while P, Na, Zn Fatty acids composition indicated contained linoleic acid, P-yezo exhibited oleic acid eicosapentaenoic (EPA). significantly chlorophyll...
Green Citrus junos (yuja) peel extract has higher naringin and hesperidin contents antioxidant activity than yellow yuja extract, but its anti-obesity effects are unclear. This study examined the properties of green ethanol (GYE) in 3T3-L1 cells high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. The GYE on adipocyte differentiation were assessed by measuring Oil red O staining, mRNA protein expression. beneficial HFD-induced mice evaluated using body weight, composition, visceral fat size, biochemical...
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Inflammation is associated with various types of acute and chronic alcohol liver diseases.In this study, we examined whether umbelliferone (7-hydroxycoumarin, UF) ameliorates alcohol-induced damage by modulating inflammatory response the antioxidant system.METHODS: Rats were fed a Liber-Decarli liquid diet containing 5% or without UF (0.05 g/L) for 8 weeks, while normal rats received an isocaloric carbohydrate diet.RESULTS: Chronic intake significantly increased serum...
This study examined the effects of defatted mealworm fermentation extract (MWF) on alcoholic liver injury in rats. The rats were fed either a Lieber-DeCarli control (Con) or alcohol liquid diet (EtOH). alcohol-fed administered MWF (50, 100, 200 mg/kg/day) and silymarin (200 orally for eight weeks. prevented alcohol-induced hepatocellular damage by decreasing their serum aspartate transaminase, alanine gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase levels significantly compared to EtOH group. effectively...
