Myocardin is a cardiac- and smooth muscle-specific transcription co-factor that potently activates the expression of downstream target genes. Previously, we demonstrated overexpression myocardin inhibited proliferation muscle cells (SMCs). Recently, was reported to induce microRNA-1 (miR-1) in cardiomyocytes. In this study, investigated whether induces miR-1 mediate its inhibitory effects on SMC proliferation.Using tetracycline-regulated (T-REx) inducible system expressing human vascular...
Abstract BACKGROUND White tea has received increasing attention of late as a result its sweet taste and health benefits. During the brewing white tea, many factors may affect nutritional sensory quality resulting infusions. The present study aimed to investigate effect various infusion conditions on components Fuding including time, ratio water, number steps, temperature. RESULTS Brewing had strong compound profile characteristics. catechin, caffeine, theanine free amino acid contents...
Gastrodia elata tuber (GET) is a popular traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) with Box⁻Behnken design (BBD) was performed to optimize the extraction parameters of gastrodin-type components (gastrodin, gastrodigenin, parishin A, B, C and E). Different from conventional studies that merely focused on contents phytochemical, we gave consideration both quantitative analysis above six by HPLC representative bioactivities GET, including...
The cysteine protease inhibitor Cystatin C (CST3) is highly expressed in the brains of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and C57BL/6J mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE; a model MS), but its roles diseases are unknown. Here, we show that CST3 plays detrimental function myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35-55 (MOG35-55)-induced EAE only female animals. Female Cst3 null display significantly lower clinical signs disease compared to wild-type (WT) littermates. This...
A color-deepening effect of theaflavins on the theanine-glucose thermal reaction model was revealed. Generated chromogenic intermediates in initial stage and an accelerated browning rate through promoted degradation Amadori rearrangement product intermediate final stages are responsible for effect. Four pink-to-red theaflavin-theanine were verified as theaflavinies referencing nuclear magnetic resonance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry information l-theanine, including one accurately...
Diabetes is a worldwide metabolic diseases that requires adjustments in the blood glucose. Cornstarch one kind of resistant starch, which helps to control postprandial glucose, and desired alternatives carbohydrates for developing functional food. Herein, cornstarch-based diet (CFD) was developed, this study we investigated effects CFD supplemented with tea polyphenols EGCG on glucose intestinal flora diabetic mice. The results showed mice had significant weight loss serious hyperglycemia....
Tea protein has received much attention due to its potential health functions. This article studied the molecular weight, foaming capacity, foam stability, emulsifying emulsion and oil absorption of tea prepared from residue by alkali extraction. The results showed that contained two components with different weights (1.26 × 106 ± 1.3 104 2.4 1.1 103). content lower component in was higher than one. When concentration 4 mg/mL, sparkling ability satisfied, while capacity stability best,...
A strain of Myrmecridium was isolated from farmland soil in Guizhou Province, China. The produced distinctive obovoid or fusoid conidia that taper to a subtruncate darkened hilum at the base distinguished it other species. Phylogenetic analysis combined ITS1–5.8S–ITS2 and large subunit rDNA sequences supported this morphological separation. We describe obovoideum as new provide key
Summary The effects of catechins on the structural properties wheat gluten were investigated in terms their polymerisation behaviour, conformation and viscoelasticity. Depolymerisation glutenin macropolymers was analysed by size‐exclusion high‐performance liquid chromatography (SE‐HPLC) with catechins, revealing major variation sulfhydryl (SH) content. Compared controls, SH content catechin‐enhanced significantly increased due to breakage disulphide (SS) bonds. Reversed‐phase HPLC revealed...
Summary Catechin monomers and their combinations were incorporated into dough bread to investigate effects on the properties of quality bread. Rheological analysis showed that catechins generally increased stability time, tenacity ( P ), elastic modulus viscous decreased development extensibility L swelling index G ) deformation energy. Gallated catechin‐supplemented samples presented lower values, higher / values than non‐gallated ones. The addition altered specific volume colour but had no...
For the long time lag and nonlinear double-tank experimental system, research has been carried on by PID control strategy with more setting parameters of genetic algorithm. During process tank level control, a kind adaptive method combined algorithm crossover probability mutation is applied. By using to optimize controller writing simulation program in MATALB language environment do study double-tank. The results application shows that: can be used realize global optimization compared...
In this study, an electronic nose and tongue were employed to detect flavor quality of Fuding white tea at different brewing conditions, compared with the results sensory evaluation.Electronic was used determine volatile compounds time, temperature, ratio water, time water quality. The data obtained analyzed by methods principle component analysis (Principal analysis, PCA) linear discrimination (Linear discriminant LDA) .The showed that conditions LDA more effective in distinguish from same...
Abstract The mechanisms underlying the earlier onset and male predominance of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), most common form human motoneuron disease, are poorly understood. Here we show that gut microbiota protects against TDP43 toxicity contributes to sexual dimorphism in mice expressing a mutant (A315T) linked ALS. raised under germ-free conditions, or treated with antibiotics deplete microbiota, develop disease no sex differences lifespan. Behavioral histopathological analyses...
