Selective Michael-type addition of a D-glucuronic acid derivative in the synthesis of model substances for uronic acid containing polysaccharides

eXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2008
A flexible protocol for the preparation of model substances for uronic acid containing polysaccharides is presented. We have synthesized a D-glucuronic acid derivative which is designed so that it easily can be conjugated with different structures and ...

Intake of hydrolyzed casein is associated with reduced body fat accretion and enhanced phase II metabolism in obesity prone C57BL/6J mice.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The amount and form of dietary casein have been shown to affect energy metabolism and lipid accumulation in mice, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.

Mechanisms of Aristolochic Acid Resistance in Specialist Butterflies and Evolutionary Insights for Potential Protective Pathways

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study provides an extreme example of insect adaptation to highly toxic defenses of host plants, and investigates the complex strategies to resist carcinogenic aristolochic acids, including physical isolation, metabolic detoxification, and DNA repair.

Radium Speciation in Simulated Digestive Biofluids: Insights from Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry and Thermodynamic Modeling

Analysis &Sensing, EarlyView.
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) combined with thermodynamic modeling provides the first direct characterization of radium speciation in synthetic gastrointestinal biofluids. Free Ra2+ ions predominate with minimal protein binding and negligible EDTA complexation. Crown ethers enable effective Ra complexation.

Investigations Into the Human Metabolism of Trestolone (7α‐Methyl‐19‐Nortestosterone)

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
As the known metabolites of 7α‐methyl‐19‐nortestosterone (MENT), M1 and M2, suffer from chromatographic issues under routine doping control conditions, the human metabolism of MENT was reinvestigated. From the numerous new metabolites detected, especially, M5 and M10 were identified as the most promising candidates to be implemented into routine ...

Health Benefits of Polysaccharides in Red Algae: A Comprehensive Review

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract showing the health benefits of red algal polysaccharides. ABSTRACT Humans have long consumed red algae (especially by the Asian community), and their polysaccharide extracts (carrageenan, agar) are extensively used in the food industry as gel thickeners.

The effects of diatom pore-size on the structures and extensibilities of single mucilage molecules [PDF]

, 2017
Diatoms secrete extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), or mucilage, around the cell wall that may serve to aid in motility and form a discrete layer that may help maintain thicker layers of EPS that have a greater role in adhesion.

Bioactive Phytochemical Compounds in Medicago sativa L. (Alfalfa): A Systematic Review of Biological Properties and Therapeutic Relevance in Nutraceutical and Functional Food Implications

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa) harbors a remarkably diverse reservoir of bioactive secondary metabolites. Flavonoids, isoflavones, and triterpenoid saponins dominate its bioactivity landscape, driving potent antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, estrogenic, hypolipidemic, and cytotoxic actions through redox modulation, membrane ...
