Inconsistent Transcriptomic Responses to Hexabromocyclododecane in Japanese Quail: A Comparative Analysis of Results From Four Different Study Designs

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract Efforts to use transcriptomics for toxicity testing have classically relied on the assumption that chemicals consistently produce characteristic transcriptomic signatures that are reflective of their mechanism of action. However, the degree to which transcriptomic responses are conserved across different test methodologies has seldom been ...

Chemistry Composition and Bioaccessibility Study of Phenolic Compounds and Carotenoids of New Brazilian Biofortified Sweet Potato “CIP BRS Nuti”

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Phenolic compounds of sweet potato CIP BRS Nuti were evaluated for the first time. Catechin, epicatechin, and procyanidin B1 exhibited high bioaccessibility. ABSTRACT Sweet potatoes biofortified in carotenoids have been an alternative to combat malnutrition in vulnerable populations. This work is the first comprehensive study of the bioactive potential
