Phytosterol-Deficient and High-Phytosterol Diets Developed for Controlled Feeding Studies [PDF]

Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 2009
Phytosterols reduce cholesterol absorption and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations, but the quantity and physiological significance of phytosterols in common diets are generally unknown because nutrient databases do not contain comprehensive phytosterol data. The primary aim of this study was to design prototype phytosterol-deficient and

Prospective of indigenous African wild food plants in alleviation of the severe iron deficiency anaemia in Sub‐Saharan Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, where population growth, displacement and limited resources heighten nutritional insecurity. We compiled a list of indigenous African underutilized wild food plants and examined their potential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.

From flower buds to bolls: how cotton reproductive structures shape boll weevil development, reproduction and survival

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Female boll weevils feeding on flower buds promote reproduction regardless of their immature diet, whereas boll feeding increases lipid reserves and lifespan, revealing a nutrition‐driven trade‐off that sustains survival and reproduction in tropical boll weevil populations.

Ashwagandha: Is It Safe? Part 2: A Preclinical Evidence Review

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The preclinical evidence for the safety of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, AS) is reviewed, and its preparations (extracts) and constituents, from the general toxicity in animal models to in vitro and cell culture studies, which may elucidate mechanisms of action and explain clinical case reports.

Chemical Characterization of Postindustrial Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate Obtained From Multilayer PET/PE Sheets: A Baseline Study on Safety Aspects

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
PET trays pose recycling challenges due to multilayer structures with polyethylene (PE) tie‐layers and barrier materials. In this study, a delamination process using a hot alkaline solution was applied to postindustrial multilayer PET/PE thermoforming waste to recover PET flakes and produce sheets.

The Oldest Traces of Alcoholic Beverages in the Border Zone of the North and East European Plains

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Analysis of organic compounds preserved on pottery from the Bell Beaker community and the initial phase of the Trzciniec Cultural Sphere in the border zone of the Eastern and North European Plains was prompted by traces of alcoholic beverages found in contextually and formally analogous discoveries of more westerly provenance.

Fats, Fire and Bronze Age Funerary Rites: Organic Residue Analysis of Wide Horizontal Rim Vessels From Burial Contexts in Northwest Portugal

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first GC‐MS–based analyses of wide horizontal rim vessels with well‐defined funerary contexts, from Middle Bronze Age Portugal (Quinta do Amorim 2 and Pego). Organic residues from two vessels revealed ruminant fats and plant oils, alongside molecular markers of heat exposure.
