Non-extractable proanthocyanidins from grapes are a source of bioavailable (epi)catechin and derived metabolites in rats [PDF]
The non-extractable fraction of many fruit and vegetables contains putatively bioactive polyphenolic compounds that, in most cases, have not been well characterised structurally.

Abstract BACKGROUND Measuring bioaccessible nutrient levels during digestion in a physiologically relevant (dynamic) manner is a bottleneck in plant breeding and food product development. The first aim of this study was to develop and compare four simulated gastric digestion models paired with a static small‐intestinal phase for use with small sample ...

Antioxidants Attenuate Oxidative Stress-Induced Hidden Blood Loss in Rats
Objective: Hidden blood loss (HBL), commonly seen after total knee or hip arthroplasty, causes postoperative anemia even after reinfusion or blood transfusion based on the visible blood loss volume. Recent studies demonstrated that oxidative stress might

Mass Spectrometry-Based Applications in Tannin Analytics: From Qualitative and Quantitative Analyses to Biological Activity. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Tannins are widespread specialized plant metabolites that contribute significantly to the polyphenol content of plant‐based diets. Their effects on human and animal health vary depending on their structure, with potential benefits including antioxidative, antimicrobial, anthelmintic, and anticarcinogenic properties.

Abstract BACKGROUND Several commercial berries have been examined for anthocyanin composition, bioaccessibility, and bioactive effects, while Brazilian berries remain underexplored. This study aimed to access the effect of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on anthocyanin bioaccessibility, stability, and antioxidant potential in black pitanga (Eugenia

Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks
Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services.
