The Early Response to Urea, Nitrate, or Ammonium and Iron Resupply in Tomato Roots Highlights the Induction of FER, bHLHs, UMAMITs, and MATEs

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Depending on the nitrogen (N) form available to roots, plants activate different transcriptional and metabolic pathways; this can consequently translate into differences in the composition and release of root exudates. To address the existing knowledge gap regarding the relationship between the availability of Iron (Fe) and different N forms ...

Bajra‐based functional laddu—Standardization, nutritional profiling, molecular characterization

Food Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 366-377, June 2026.
Abstract The bajra laddu experimental formulations consisted of composite flour containing varying proportions of bajra flour and gram flours viz, T0‐0:100, T1‐25:75, T2‐50:50, T3‐75:25, and T4‐100:0, respectively. The sensory acceptability of the standardized product was assessed by semitrained panelists using a nine‐point hedonic scale, which ...

Secoisolariciresinol levels in Central Precocious Puberty: a metabolomic study on disease association and obesity

European Journal of Medical Research
Background and objective Obesity is a significant risk factor for Central Precocious Puberty (CPP), and dietary phytoestrogens are also implicated. This study aimed to identify differential serum metabolites in girls with CPP.

Ruminal Prevotella spp. may play an important role in the conversion of plant lignans into human health beneficial antioxidants.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), the most abundant lignan in flaxseed, is metabolized by the ruminal microbiota into enterolignans, which are strong antioxidants.

Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota and the Odds of Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Fatty Liver Disease in Overweight and Obese Children and Adolescents: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is increasingly prevalent among children and adolescents with overweight or obesity, posing a growing public health challenge. Emerging evidence highlights the gut microbiota as a critical mediator in MAFLD pathogenesis, yet few studies have explored dietary ...

Antioxidant Activity of Flaxseed Extracts in Lipid Systems

Molecules, 2015
The aim of this work was to compare the antioxidant activity of the extract of flaxseed and its alkaline hydrolysate in two model systems: lipid autoxidation of triacylglycerols of sunflower oil (TGSO)—in a homogeneous lipid media and during β-carotene ...

Comparative Phytochemical and Fatty Acid Profiling of Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) Cultivars Across Diverse Geographic Origins

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 5, May 2026.
Flax varieties differ in growth, oil quality, and beneficial compounds, but these differences are not always clear‐cut. In this study, 10 flax types were grown under the same conditions and compared for plant traits, natural compounds, and oil content. Some showed high omega‐3 and lignan levels, making them valuable for healthier foods and future crop ...

Crystal structures of apo-form and binary/ternary complexes of Podophyllum secoisolariciresinol dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in formation of health-protecting and plant defense lignans

, 2005
(-)-Matairesinol is a central biosynthetic intermediate to numerous 8-8'-lignans, including the antiviral agent podophyllotoxin in Podophyllum species and its semi-synthetic anticancer derivatives teniposide, etoposide, and Etopophos.

Inverse association of antioxidant and phytoestrogen nutrient intake with adult glioma in the San Francisco Bay Area: a case-control study

BMC Cancer, 2006
Background Increasing evidence from epidemiologic studies suggest that oxidative stress may play a role in adult glioma. In addition to dietary antioxidants, antioxidant and weak estrogenic properties of dietary phytoestrogens may attenuate oxidative ...
