Proteomic Profiling Informs Mechanisms of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Inhibition by Cranberry Proanthocyanidins

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
In this study we utilized proteomic profiling to investigate mechanisms linked to the cancer‐inhibitory effect of cranberry proanthocyanidins (CPACs) on reflux‐induced esophageal adenocarcinoma in a rat model. The results indicate that CPAC inhibits cancer through targeting multiple hallmarks of cancer known to be dysregulated in progression to ...

Protective Properties of the White Button Mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, in a Mouse Model of Colitis

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
In this study, whole mushroom powder (WMP) from white button mushrooms was tested for gut health benefits. In vitro digested WMP (IVD‐WMP) could reduce the permeability of a gastrointestinal cell layer. In mouse studies, WMP was tested as a preventative and a treatment for dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colitis. WMP could improve recovery, reduce
