Ramadan Fasting Model Exerts Hepatoprotective, Anti-obesity, and Anti-Hyperlipidemic Effects in an Experimentally-induced Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver in Rats [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Background: The epidemic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its metabolic effects present a serious public health concern. We hypothesized that the Ramadan fasting model (RFM), which involves fasting from dawn to dusk for a month, could provide potential therapeutic benefits and mitigate NAFLD.

High expression of antioxidant proteins in dendritic cells: possible implications in atherosclerosis [PDF]
Mol Cell Proteomics 5 (04/2006) 726-36, 2006 Dendritic cells (DCs) display the unique ability to activate naive T cells and to initiate primary T cell responses revealed in DC-T cell alloreactions. DCs frequently operate under stress conditions. Oxidative stress enhances the production of inflammatory cytokines by DCs.

Berries: Health Effects via Modulation of the Gut Microbiota
Food Frontiers, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Berries are widely regarded as beneficial foods, rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and other bioactive compounds that could positively influence human health. Although the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in metabolism and physiology of humans, the interaction between berries and human gut microbiota activity remains unclear.

The mechanism of heparin stimulation of rat adipocyte lipoprotein lipase
Journal of Lipid Research, 1969 Free fat cells and stromal-vascular cells were prepared from rat adipose tissue by incubation with collagenase. NH4OH-NH4Cl extracts of acetone-ether powders prepared from fat cells contained lipoprotein lipase activity but extracts of stromal-vascular ...

In silico screening of 393 mutants facilitates enzyme engineering of amidase activity in CalB [PDF]
, 2012 Our previously presented method for high throughput computational screening of mutant activity (Hediger et al., arXiv:1203.2950) is benchmarked against experimentally measured amidase activity for 22 mutants of Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB). Using an appropriate cutoff criterion for the computed barriers, the qualitative activity of 15 out of 22 ...

Geometric and Electromagnetic Aspects of Fusion Pore Making [PDF]
Systems Biology 2 (2011), pp. 505-538, 2009 For regulated exocytosis, we model the morphology and dynamics of the making of the fusion pore or porosome as a cup-shaped lipoprotein structure (a dimple or pit) on the cytosol side of the plasma membrane. We describe the forming of the dimple by a free boundary problem.

Exploring the bio‐functional potential of polysaccharides from Morchella esculenta: A mini review
Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Abstract Polysaccharides, natural polymers of monosaccharides, exhibit diverse biological activities due to their molecular structures and functional properties. Morchella esculenta, a precious edible mushroom with higher market value, is also rich in polysaccharides (MEP) and holds potential as a bioactive compound with therapeutic and functional food

Bifurcation analysis of a free boundary model of plaque formation associated with the cholesterol ratio [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The low-density lipoprotein (LDL)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol ratio has been shown a high correlation with the cardiovascular risk assessment. Is it possible to quantify the correlation mathematically? In this paper, we develop a bifurcation analysis for a mathematical model of the plaque formation with a free boundary in the early stage

Exploring the Molecular Pathways Underlying the Anti‐Diabetic Effects of Millets
Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.Millet consumption may modulate gluconeogenesis and glycolysis, enhance glucose transporter activity, increase leptin levels, inhibit the NF‐κB pathway, and mitigate oxidative and nitrosative stress. ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemic conditions resulting from inadequate insulin production or ...
