Extraction and Optimization of Fucoidan From Sargassum muticum Using Acidic Eutectic Solvents and Evaluation of Their Effects on Fibroblast Cell Lines. [PDF]
Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from the cell wall of macroalgae such as S. muticum, exhibits promising biological properties. This study investigated a green extraction using deep eutectic solvents (DESs), with an emphasis on process optimization and bioactive evaluation of fucoidan.

Most of the Specific Genomic Regions of Agrobacterium fabrum Shape Phenolics Content of Medicago truncatula Roots. [PDF]
Agrobacterium fabrum harbour seven specific‐gene regions, whose annotation indicates a close connection with plant. To evaluate their involvement in plant‐bacteria interaction, deletion mutant strains of each specific region were inoculated onto Medicago truncatula roots. Root phenolics content was influenced by them.

Erucastrum virgatum subsp. virgatum (Brassicaceae) Endemic to Sicily (Italy): Biological Properties and Phenolic Content of Leaf Extracts. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The present work reports a comparative study between extracts obtained by different methods (ultrasonic bath‐assisted extraction, maceration, decoction, and Soxhlet extraction) from the leaves of Erucastrum virgatum subsp. virgatum collected in Sicily (Italy), using ethanol and water as “green” solvents.

Early Markers of Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle Metabolic Derangement in the Apc(min/+) Male Mouse. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cancer cachexia is a metabolic and wasting disease that occurs in up to 80% of cancer patients. Currently, there are no clear diagnostic criteria, its effects are irreversible, and it cannot be treated. Most patients progress undetected to late stages of cancer cachexia, stop responding to traditional treatment, and die ...

Glycosaminoglycans as Polyelectrolytes: Charge, Interactions, and Applications. [PDF]
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are linear, anionic biopolymers with their functions tightly linked to their charge. This review approaches GAGs from a polyelectrolyte perspective, shedding light on how the distribution of sulfate groups and, thus, negative charges, governs their interactions with other biomolecules.

Improving in vitro Gastrointestinal Stability of Phlorotannins From Food Grade Fucus vesiculosus Extracts Using Cyclodextrins. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Phlorotannins have gained significant attention for their potential bioactive and functional properties. However, these compounds are highly sensitive to gastrointestinal digestion, which limits their bioavailability and consequently the in vivo efficacy.

Effect of animal and industrial trans fatty acids on HDL and LDL cholesterol levels in humans - a quantitative review [PDF]
Background: Trans fatty acids are produced either by industrial hydrogenation or by biohydrogenation in the rumens of cows and sheep. Industrial trans fatty acids lower HDL cholesterol, raise LDL cholesterol, and increase the risk of coronary heart ...
