Summary: During hypoxia, increases in cerebral blood flow maintain brain oxygen delivery. Here, we describe a mechanism of brain oxygen sensing that mediates the dilation of intraparenchymal cerebral blood vessels in response to reductions in oxygen ...

The Mechanisms of Thiosulfate Toxicity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Elemental sulfur and sulfite have been used to inhibit the growth of yeasts, but thiosulfate has not been reported to be toxic to yeasts. We observed that thiosulfate was more inhibitory than sulfite to Saccharomyces cerevisiae growing in a common yeast ...

Effect of l-Cysteine on Enzymatic Browning, Antioxidant Activity, and GSH Stability in Fresh-Cut Quince: A Comparative Evaluation With Potassium Metabisulfite. [PDF]
This study investigates the effectiveness of l‐cysteine and sodium metabisulfite (1% solutions) in reducing enzymatic browning and preserving antioxidant properties in fresh‐cut quince slices stored at 4°C for 9 days. l‐cysteine proved more effective than sodium metabisulfite in maintaining color brightness and enhancing antioxidant activity by ...

Sulfite Alters the Mitochondrial Network in Molybdenum Cofactor Deficiency
Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder belonging to the large family of inborn errors in metabolism. Patients typically present with encephalopathy and seizures early after birth and develop severe neurodegeneration ...

Advancing the Resolution of the Sulfur Compound Disproportionation Puzzle in Dissulfuribacter Thermophilus S69ᵀ Through Quantitative Label-Free Comparative Proteomics. [PDF]
To date, only three microorganisms have been functionally characterised for sulfur disproportionation. Our work identifies a fourth example and provides novel proteomic insights into its underlying pathways. These findings advance our understanding of microbial sulfur catabolism and highlight the ecological role of D.

Processing Strategies to Enhance the Structural and Functional Properties of Proteins From Sweet Potato By-Products. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Sweet potato by‐products are a potential source of proteins and phenolic compounds with valuable functional properties. However, enzymatic browning driven by polyphenol oxidase (PPO) limits their stability and utilization. In this study, processing conditions were designed to achieve controlled partial PPO inactivation using ascorbic acid (AA),
