Integrated In Vitro, In Vivo, and In Silico Study Reveals Gut‐Protective Effects of Myricitrin From Chinese Bayberry Leaves

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
High‐purity myricitrin from Chinese bayberry leaves alleviates colonic inflammation by preserving epithelial barrier integrity and reshaping gut microbiota composition. ABSTRACT Polyphenols have been widely recognized for their ability to modulate the host inflammatory response and orchestrate the intestinal microenvironment.

Lead and cadmium tolerance and accumulation of proanthocyanidin- deficient mutants of the fern Athyrium yokoscense

International Journal of Plant Biology, 2022
The fern Athyrium yokoscense often flourishes around mine sites in Japan and can tolerate and accumulate heavy metals such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). In this work, we examined whether proanthocyanidins, also called condensed tannins, were involved in

Mutations in UDP-Glucose:Sterol Glucosyltransferase in Arabidopsis Cause Transparent Testa Phenotype and Suberization Defect in Seeds [PDF]

, 2009
In higher plants, the most abundant sterol derivatives are steryl glycosides (SGs) and acyl SGs. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) contains two genes, UGT80A2 and UGT80B1, that encode UDP-Glc:sterol glycosyltransferases, enzymes that catalyze the ...

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...
