Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

The ovalbumin family of serpin proteins [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1993
A protein family, the ‘Ov‐serpins’ has been identified by comparing amino acid sequence, protein characteristics and gene organization. The Ov‐serpins would not be recognized as a family based on sequence identity alone. This example suggests that combinations of characteristics may need to be examined to identify family groupings within the serpin ...

Maintaining egg freshness in the absence of refrigeration: The potential of zero‐energy cooling pots

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Egg storage in regions with unreliable electricity is challenging, leading to rapid quality deterioration and postharvest losses. This study evaluated the efficacy of a Zero‐Energy Cooling (ZEC) pot, an evaporative cooling technology, for preserving table egg quality in comparison to conventional refrigeration and ambient storage ...

Potential molecular mechanisms of ovalbumin in promoting muscle injury repair in mice: insights from transcriptomics and metabolomics

Food Science and Human Wellness
Skeletal muscle injuries are prone to induce fatigue, decrease resistance and imbalances in the body. Although ovalbumin (OVA) has such biological effect as promoting tissue development and immunomodulation, its impact on repairing skeletal muscle ...

Coupling of palmitate to ovalbumin inhibits the induction of oral tolerance

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
Oral tolerance is a phenomenon that may occur in animals exposed to protein antigens for the first time by the oral route. They become unable to produce immune responses at the levels normally observed when they are immunized parenterally with antigen in

PDCD5 Contributes to Airway Epithelial Cell Damage via Mitochondrial Pathway and Participates in COPD Pathogenesis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airway epithelial injury plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in this injury, while the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. RNA sequencing was conducted to identify key genes involved in mitochondrial dysfunction in airway epithelial

Inhibitory effects of inhaled complex traditional Chinese medicine on early and late asthmatic responses induced by ovalbumin in sensitized guinea pigs

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2011
Background Many formulae of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have been used for antiasthma treatment dating back many centuries. There is evidence to suggest that TCMs are effective as a cure for this allergenic disease administered via gastric tubes

The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Anti‐Allergic Potential of Chamaecrista nomame and Its Compound Luteolin for Novel Asthma Therapy

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Chamaecrista nomame (CN) and its active compound luteolin attenuate allergic airway inflammation by inhibiting mast cell activation and suppressing NF‐κB/MAPK signaling, leading to reduced cytokine production and OVA‐specific IgE levels. ABSTRACT Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by dysregulated immune responses and mast cell activation ...
