Rediscovering Acetate Metabolism: Its Potential Sources and Utilization for Biobased Transformation into Value-Added Chemicals 10.1021/acs.jafc.8b00458 2018-04-16 One of the great advantages of microbial fermentation is the capacity to convert various carbon compounds into value-added chemicals. In this regard, there have been many efforts to engineer microorganisms to facilitate utilization of abundant carbon sources....
Development of a Sono-Assembled, Bifunctional Soy Peptide Nanoparticle for Cellular Delivery of Hydrophobic Active Cargoes 10.1021/acs.jafc.7b05889 2018-04-16 Soy proteins are prone to aggregate upon proteolysis, hindering their sustainable development in food processing. Here, a continuous work on the large insoluble peptide aggregates was carried out, aiming to develop a new type of soy peptide-based nanoparticle...
Methyl Jasmonate Increases Isoflavone Production in Soybean Cell Cultures by Activating Structural Genes Involved in Isoflavonoid Biosynthesis 10.1021/acs.jafc.8b00350 2018-04-16 Isoflavonoids are a class of biologically active natural products that accumulate in soybean (Glycine max L.) seeds during development, play vital roles in plant defense, and act as phytoestrogens with important human health benefits. Plant cell suspension cu...
Bacterial Cellulose Relieves Diphenoxylate-Induced Constipation in Rats 10.1021/acs.jafc.8b00385 2018-04-16 This study was to probe the effects of bacterial cellulose (BC) on diphenoxylate-induced constipation in rats. Administration with BC at 500 mg/kg of body weight in diphenoxylate-induced constipation rats distinctly improved the carmine propulsion rate (83.5 ...
Fish Oil Supplementation Alleviates the Altered Lipid Homeostasis in Blood, Liver, and Adipose Tissues in High-Fat Diet-Fed Rats 10.1021/acs.jafc.8b00529 2018-04-16 This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation of fish oil on the signals of lipid metabolism involved in hepatic cholesterol and triglyceride influx and excretion in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed rats. Fish oil (FO) repressed body (HFD, 533 ± 18.2 ...
Green Synthesis of Cyclodextrin-Based Metal–Organic Frameworks through the Seed-Mediated Method for the Encapsulation of Hydrophobic Molecules 10.1021/acs.jafc.8b00400 2018-04-16 Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are attracting considerable attention as a result of their unique structural properties, such as a high surface area, highly porous topology, and tunable size and shape, which enable them to have potential applications as a new...
Tuna oil alleviate D-galactose induced aging in mice accompanied by modulating gut microbiota and brain protein expression 10.1021/acs.jafc.8b00446 2018-04-15 To discern whether tuna oil modulates the expression of brain proteins and the gut microbiota structure during aging induced by D-galactose, we generated an aging mouse model with D-galactose treatment, and the mice showed aging and memory deterioration sympt...
Plant Uptake and Metabolism of 2,4-dibromophenol in Carrot: In Vitro Enzymatic Direct Conjugation 10.1021/acs.jafc.8b00543 2018-04-15 Plants can extensively uptake organic contaminants from soil and subsequently transform them into various products. Those compounds containing hydroxyl may undergo direct conjugation with endogenous biomolecules in plants, and potentially be preserved as conj...
Tea Polysaccharides Inhibits Colitis-associated Colorectal Cancer via Interleukin-6/STAT3 Pathway 10.1021/acs.jafc.8b00710 2018-04-15 The interleukin-6 (IL-6)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3 signaling pathway regulates survival and proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells, and has profound impact on the tumorigenesis of colitis-associated cancer (CAC). Tea poly...
Metabolic resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicide tribenuron-methyl in Descurainia sophia L. mediated by cytochrome P450 enzymes 10.1021/acs.jafc.7b05825 2018-04-13 D. sophia is one of the most notorious broadleaf weed in China, and has evolved extremely high resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicide tribenuron-methyl. The target-site resistance due to ALS gene mutations was known well, while the non-target-site resistance ...
