Chemoprotective Effects of Broccoli Juice Treated with High Pressure

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2006
We investigated chemoprotective effects of broccoli juice, treated with high pressure method, using 500 MPa for a period of 10 minutes. By the use of this method, the conservation of nutritionally important substances occurs (for example vitamins ...

Abnormal cleavage patterns in equine in vitro‐produced embryos lead to higher early pregnancy loss

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Background Despite significant advances, in vitro production (IVP) of equine embryos continues to lack standardised embryo classification criteria and is associated with increased rates of early pregnancy loss compared with in vivo‐derived blastocysts.

Microplastic Impacts on Seafood: A Global Synthesis of Experimental Findings

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic pollution is a growing global concern, with plastic and microplastic particles now widespread in aquatic environments. Microplastics are frequently ingested by marine organisms, including commercially important seafood species. Ingestion can lead to a range of biological effects, influenced by the size, type and quantity of plastic, as

Mycobacterium avium Subsp. paratuberculosis and Human Endogenous Retrovirus in Italian Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Immunology, EarlyView.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is a recognised gastrointestinal disorder. Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is implicated in IBD pathogenesis. Persistent exposure and active infections by MAP may contribute to the unsilencing of human endogenous retroviruses (HERV ...

In vivo and in vitro genotoxicity of N-nitrosopyrrolidine following UVA irradiation

Genes and Environment
N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR) is a volatile nitrosamine that is thought to be a human carcinogen. It is found in air, wastewater, food, and feed. Photo-activation of NPYR can occur as it drifts through the environment.

PLK4 is a potential therapeutic target in nonmelanoma skin cancers: Evidence from molecular and in vivo studies

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation is the main etiologic driver of nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), including basal cell (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC), which are the most prevalent types of cancers in the US. In this study, we demonstrate that the serine/threonine kinase Polo‐like kinase 4 (PLK4) is overexpressed in NMSCs ...
