Kefir peptide (Kef-1) as an emerging approach for the treatment of oxidative stress and inflammation in 2K1C mice

The benefits of Kefir consumption are due, in part, to the rich composition of bioactive molecules released from fermentation. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are bioactive molecules with potential use in...

The inhibition of interaction with serum albumin enhances the physiological activity of curcumin by increasing its cellular uptake.

Based on the free drug hypothesis, we hypothesized that food compounds that bind stronger to BSA than CUR inhibit the binding between BSA and CUR, and that this results in...

Seabuckthorn polysaccharide ameliorates high-fat diet-induced obesity by gut microbiota-SCFAs-liver axis

Obesity has been reported to be associated with gut microbiome dysbiosis. seabuckthorn fruits are traditionally used in Tibetan foods and medicines for thousands of years. Seabuckthorn polysaccharide (SP) is one...

Impact of food processing on postprandial glycaemic and appetite responses in normoglycaemic adults: a randomized, controlled trial

Chickpeas are among the lowest glycaemic index carbohydrate food eliciting protracted digestion and enhanced satiety responses. In vitro studies suggest that mechanical processing of chickpeas significantly increases starch digestion. However,...

Riceberry rice beverage decreases postprandial glycemic response, inflammatory markers and antioxidant status induced by a high carbohydrate and moderate fat meal in overweight and obese men

Recent clinical studies support the beneficial role of riceberry rice and its food products on controlling glycemic response in healthy subjects. The aim of the current work was to determine...

Fucoidans from Cucumaria frondosa ameliorates renal interstitial fibrosis via inhibition of PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway

The effects of Cucumaria frondosa polysaccharides (CFP) on renal interstitial fibrosis via regulating phosphatidylinositol-3-hydroxykinase/protein kinase-B/Nuclear factor-κB (PI3K/AKT/NF-κB) signaling pathway were investigated in vivo and in vitro in this research. A...

Tilapia skin peptides restore cyclophosphamide-induced premature ovarian failure via inhibiting oxidative stress and apoptosis in mice

Tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) skin high value-added compounds have not been fully utilized in tilapia processing. Here, the protective effects of tilapia skin peptides (TSP) on primary ovarian failure (POF) and...

Feeding of cuticles from Tenebrio molitor larvae modulates the gut microbiota and attenuates hepatic steatosis in obese Zucker rats

an alternative and sustainable source of food and feed. A byproduct from mass-rearing of insect larvae are the shed cuticles - the most external components of insects which are a...

Integration of intestinal microbiota and metabonomic to elucidate different alleviation impacts of non-saponification and saponification astaxanthin pre-treatment on Paracetamol-induced oxidative stress in rats

Intestinal microbiota and metabonomic were integrated to investigate the efficiency of non-saponification or saponification astaxanthin (N-Asta or S-Asta) derived from Penaeus sinensis by-products on alleviating paracetamol (PCM)-induced oxidative stress. Pre-treated...

Effect of hydrocolloids on physicochemical properties, stability, and digestibility of Pickering emulsions stabilized by nanofibrillated cellulose

In this study, effect of hydrocolloids with different electrostatic characteristics, i.e. negatively charged xanthan gum (XG), positively charged chitosan (CH), and non-ionic guar gum (GG) on physicochemical properties, stability, and...
