Diosgenin ameliorates silica‐induced tuberculosis in rats

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Silicosis increases susceptibility to tuberculosis due to impaired macrophage function and oxidative stress. This study demonstrates that diosgenin, a steroidal saponin, significantly inhibits Mycobacterium smegmatis (IC₅₀ = 0.006 μg/mL), reduces lung fibrosis, and restores antioxidant enzyme levels (↑SOD, ↑CAT, ↓MDA) in silica‐exposed rats ...

Structured Lipids: Synthesis, Genetic Engineering, and Applications

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipids are essential to the human body, but some can be harmful. As a result, current research focuses on structured lipids (SLs), which are engineered to have specific fatty acid arrangements. These structural modifications can enhance both nutritional and physical properties.

Comparison of Methods for the Preparation of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters for the Analysis of Omega‐3 Rich Oils by Gas Chromatography

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fatty acid analysis is required in a wide range of industries, and conversion to fatty acid methyl esters followed by gas chromatography is by far the most common method of analysis. However, despite widespread use, there is no consensus on which derivatization method should be used or how the methods compare.

Green and Sustainable Production of Edible Pullulan/Whey Nanofibers Loaded With Black Cumin (Nigella sativa) Waste Extract

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the electrospinning method was used to create green synthesis sustainable pullulan and whey protein nanofibers loaded with black cumin waste extract. FE‐SEM imaging, FTIR, XRD, DSC, total phenolic content determination, total antioxidant activity determination, and antibacterial activity assessment were used to characterize the ...

From WGS to gels: Development and testing of PCR primers targeting toxic Digitalis in support of food safety

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise This study capitalized on a library of single‐nucleotide polymorphisms created via whole genome sequencing (WGS) to develop and test a PCR assay for detecting toxic Digitalis species in food products. Complex foods can be difficult to analyze, but safeguarding consumer well‐being and public health necessitates that products regulated ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Dietary fat and carcinogenesis

Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis, 1999
Epidemiologic investigations have suggested a relationship between dietary fat intake and various types of cancer incidences. Furthermore, epidemiologic studies as well as studies with animal models have demonstrated that not only the amount but also the type of fat consumed is important.
