Are plants with anti-cancer activity resistant to crown gall? : A test of hypothesis [PDF]

, 2007
The Crown gall tumour assay (CGTA) is one of several bench top bioassays recommended for the rapid screening of plants with anti-cancer activity. The rationale for the use of the bioassay is that the tumorogenic mechanism initiated in plant tissues by ...

Effects of Quercetin Metabolites on Glucose‐Dependent Lipid Accumulation in 3T3‐L1 Adipocytes

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Quercetin metabolites (QMs), found in foods like fruits and vegetables, can influence how fat cells process fats and sugars. This study shows that QMs help reduce fat storage and sugar uptake in fat cells when sugar levels are high. Under conditions mimicking caloric restriction, they boost sugar use for energy.

PGC‐1α Activation by Polyphenols: A Pathway to Thermogenesis

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Polyphenols, derived from dietary sources such as berries, undergo digestion and interact with gut microbiota, leading to their metabolization in the liver. This process influences bile acid composition, which in turn activates PGC1α, a key regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and thermogenesis.

Preventive Effect of Upland Pigmented Potatoes Against LPS‐Induced Inflammation in THP‐1 Macrophages

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
The anti‐inflammatory activity of extracts from three commercial potato varieties cultivated upland was investigated on THP‐1 macrophages insulted with LPS. While the chlorogenic acid (CGA)‐rich extract from Kennebec reduced inflammation only at supraphysiological doses, carotenoid‐rich Desirèe and anthocyanin (ACN)‐rich Bleuet decreased TNF‐α, IL‐1β ...

Differential Effects of Wild Blueberry (Poly)Phenol Metabolites in Modulating Lipid Metabolism and Oxidative Stress in 3T3‐L1 Adipocytes

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Metabolites derived from wild blueberry (poly)phenols, such as syringic (SA), vanillic (VA), and isoferulic acids (IA), can modulate lipid metabolism and oxidative stress markers in mature 3T3‐L1 adipocytes treated with free fatty acids (FFAs; oleic/palmitic acid, 750 µM, 2:1 ratio).

Neuroprotective Potential of the Flavonoids Quercetin and Epicatechin in a C. elegans Tauopathy Model

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Epicatechin and quercetin enhanced healthspan in the C. elegans BR5270 tauopathy model, associated with the upregulation of autophagy‐related and α‐tubulin synthesis genes, and the downregulation of genes involved in the unfolded protein response. ABSTRACT The prevalence of cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasing due to the ...

Angiogenesis as a Therapeutic Target of (Poly)phenols: Tackling Cancer and Vascular‐Related Complications

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
(Poly)phenols constitute a source of natural therapeutic molecules capable of targeting angiogenesis in different scenarios. This review summarizes the current evidence of the role of (poly)phenols in modulating angiogenesis. The reader can find a compilation of preclinical and human investigations describing pro‐ and anti‐angiogenic effects of these ...

Development of a Wine By‐Product‐Based Beverage and Study of Its Potential to Postprandial Glycemia Regulation in Healthy Individuals: A Proof of Concept Study

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
The postprandial glycemia of healthy adults is not downregulated by the coadministration of a sugar solution and a wine by‐product enriched beverage due to the high variability in the response. Blood phenolic compounds of responders’ volunteers are not associated with the reduction effect of postprandial hyperglycemia.
