Polydatin alleviates mitochondrial damage and apoptosis of lung epithelial cells by inhibiting toll‐like receptor 4‐dependent macrophage activation in asthma

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The alleviation of asthma by polydatin is dependent on the blockage of the toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4)/P2X7R synergy in macrophages. The blockage of the TLR4/P2X7R synergy results in decreased release and secretion of interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) and IL‐18. In epithelial cells, low IL‐1β and IL‐18 levels inhibit mitochondrial damage and apoptosis.

Structured Plant‐Based Oil as Healthier Alternatives to Conventional Fats in Chocolate Cream Fillings

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the use of oleogel systems as fat replacements in chocolate cream fillings. Oleogels were prepared with 4, 6, 8, or 10% of sunflower wax (SW) or glycerol monostearate (GM) in corn oil (CO) or sesame oil (SO). Four representative oleogels, SOSW4, SOSW6, SOGM6, and COGM6, were selected for application in chocolate cream ...
