Lowering salivary pH with sugar‐containing gum augments salivary nitrite production and blood pressure reduction with dietary nitrate (beetroot juice)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Acutely lowering salivary pH (with sugar‐containing acidic gum vs. sugar‐free gum) augments salivary nitrate reduction to nitrite, plasma nitrite concentration, and blood pressure lowering with dietary nitrate. Modifying salivary pH reveals a mechanism by which the nitrate‐nitrite‐NO pathway may be upregulated/inhibited, with potential for other ...

Molecular Interfacial Chelation Enables Wide‐Temperature Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study introduces a chelating additive for wide‐temperature aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. Methionine‐chelated zinc adsorb onto the Zn(002) plane and release Zn2+ in situ, forming a zinc‐ion‐rich buffer reservoir at the electrode/electrolyte interface, enabling aqueous zinc‐ion batteries to exhibit stable cycling performance over the temperature range

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Fermentation‐Induced Modulation of Polyphenolic Contents and Medicinal Activities in Annona squamosa Seeds

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The study compared the medicinal activities of polyphenols from fermented and unfermented seeds of Annona squamosa. The polyphenols were extracted and subjected to standard analysis. The major phenolic components of the fermented polyphenols and the unfermented polyphenols were found to be 4‐hydroxybenzoic and 4‐hydroxyphenylacetic acid, respectively ...

Policy Progress in Using Economic Policy Instruments to Improve Nutrition: Challenges and Opportunities

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Economic policy can be a powerful instrument to influence food environments and support improved diets and health. Over the past 20 years, the use of fiscal policy to improve diets has increased dramatically. This paper reviews the trajectory of policy change, and explores the ways in which research has informed three different dimensions of ...

Non‐Nutritive Artificial Sweeteners Aspartame and Acesulfame‐K Ameliorate Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease in Male Ldlr−/− Mice

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aspartame and acesulfame‐K are commonly used non‐nutritive artificial sweeteners, but their impacts on cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease (MASLD) are unclear. In this study, we evaluated the impacts of aspartame and acesulfame‐K on MASLD and atherosclerosis in male Ldlr−/− mice fed an AMLN diet ...
