Male golden Syrian hamsters were fed for 16 weeks on a hypercholesterolemic diet containing, per kg, 150 g of lipids (90 g butterfat, 35 g vitamin E-stripped corn oil and 25 g fish oil), 2 g cholesterol and either 3 IU vitamin E (3 IU E), 3 IU vitamin E and 200 mg catechin hydrate (3 IU E-200 Cat)
Gliomas are one of the most common types of primary brain tumors, characterized by rapid proliferation and infiltration into normal brain tissue. Corncob is the most plentiful byproducts of Zea mays L., of which anti-cancer effect has not been reported. Therefore, we aimed to examine the
Aluminium (Al) toxicity is widely considered to be the most important growth-limiting factor for plants in strongly acid soils (pH<5.0). The inhibition of root elongation in three varieties of maize (Zea mays L. vars Clavito, HS701b and Sikuani) was followed over the first 48 h of Al treatment, and
Tea polyphenols (TP) were emulsified with corn oil and polysorbate 80 by high-pressure homogenization. The oil in water (O/W) TP nanoemulsion had droplet sizes of 99.42±1.25nm after preparation. The TP nanoemulsion was stable during storage at 4, 25 or 40°C for 20days. An in vitro simulated
Vitamin E has many reported health effects and is recognized as the most important lipid-soluble, chain-breaking antioxidant in the body. Vitamin E has also been reported to play a regulatory role in cell signalling and gene expression. Epidemiological studies show that high blood concentrations of
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) enriched structured lipid (SL) was produced by lipase-catalyzed interesterification from perilla oil (PO) and corn oil (CO). The effects of different reaction conditions (substrate molar ratio [PO/CO 1:1 to 1:3], reaction time [0 to 24 h], and reaction temperature [55 to
This study aimed at investigating potential effects of the flavonoids genistein, quercetin and catechin and the role of co-ingested dietary fat on vitamin E concentrations in rats. In experiment 1, genistein, quercetin and catechin were fed to rats, incorporated into semisynthetic diets at
Transgenic apple plants (Malus x domestica cv. 'Holsteiner Cox') overexpressing the Leaf Colour (Lc) gene from maize (Zea mays) exhibit strongly increased production of anthocyanins and flavan-3-ols (catechins, proanthocyanidins). Greenhouse plants investigated in this study exhibit altered
Consumption of cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) is a growing health concern, but little is known about the intake of beta-sitosterol oxidation products (SOPs). The present study was performed (i) to compare the oxidative stability of cholesterol with that of beta-sitosterol; (ii) to investigate
Simarouba amara stem bark decoction has been traditionally used in Brazil to treat malaria, inflammation, fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, wounds and as a tonic. In this study, we investigate the hepatoprotective effects of the aqueous extract of S. amara stem bark (SAAE) on CCl4-induced hepatic
Aronia fruits (chokeberry: Aronia melanocarpa E.) containing phenolic phytochemicals, such as cyanidin 3-glycosides and chlorogenic acid, have attracted considerable attention because of their potential human health benefits in humans including antioxidant activities and ability to improved vision.
Evening primrose meal (EPM: 1% and 2%, w/w) reduced (p = 0.05) the formation of 2-thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), hexanal, and total volatiles in cooked comminuted pork by 43.6-72.6%. Phenolic compounds in the EPM were extracted under optimum conditions (with 56% acetone at 71
Three anthocyanin regulatory genes of maize (Zea mays; Lc, B-Peru, and C1) were introduced into alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in a strategy designed to stimulate the flavonoid pathway and alter the composition of flavonoids produced in forage. Lc constructs included a full-length gene and a gene with a
Flavonoids are a large family of polyphenolic compounds with manifold functions in plants. Present in a wide range of vegetables and fruits, flavonoids form an integral part of the human diet and confer multiple health benefits. Here, we report on metabolic engineering of the flavonoid biosynthetic
