A protein-based complex represents an efficient protective carrier for hydrophobic ligands, and its ligand-binding properties are influenced by the formulation conditions, particularly the pH level. This study explored the effects of various pH values (2.5-9.5) on the characteristics of whey protein isolate (WPI)-Lut/Zx complexes using multiple spectroscopic techniques, including ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), fluorescence, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies and dynamic light scattering (DLS). UV-Vis and DLS spectra revealed that Lut/Zx were present as H-aggregates in aqueous solutions, whereas WPI occurred as nanoparticles. The produced WPI-Lut/Zx complexes exhibited binding constants of 10⁴-10⁵ M^-1, which gradually increased with increasing pH from 2.5 to 9.5. FTIR spectra demonstrated that pH variations and Lut/Zx addition caused detectable changes in the secondary WPI structure. Moreover, the WPI-Lut/Zx complexes effectively improved the physicochemical stabilities and antioxidant activities of Lut/Zx aggregates during long-term storage and achieved bioaccessibilities above 70% in a simulated gastrointestinal digestion process. The comprehensive data obtained in this study offer a basis for formulating strategies that can be potentially used in developing commercially available WPI complex-based xanthophyll-rich foods.</p>","PeriodicalId":10939,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Food Science","volume":"8 ","pages":"100778"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11157214/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141295748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The particle size distribution shifted from a bimodal to a unimodal pattern, and the surface hydrophobicity decreased from 267.02 to 48.91 after completely removing lipids by chloroform-methanol, with no noticeable impact on the protein profile. The foaming capacity improved, resulting in the formation of a firm and fluffy foam with high stability over time.

In the present study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying betaine-mediated alleviation of NAFLD induced by a choline-deficient, L-amino acid-defined, high-fat diet (CDAHFD) in mice, with special focus on the contribution of betaine-stimulated autophagy to NAFLD prevention. Male ICR mice were fed a CDAHFD with or without betaine (0.2–1% in drinking water) for 1 week. Betaine ameliorated the CDAHFD-induced fatty liver by restoring sulfur amino acid (SAA)-related metabolites, such as S-adenosylmethionine and homocysteine, and the phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC. In addition, it reduced the CDAHFD-induced ER stress (BiP, ATF6, and CHOP) and apoptosis (Bax, cleaved caspase-3, and cleaved PARP); however, it induced autophagy (LC3II/I and p62) which was downregulated by CDAHFD. To determine the role of autophagy in the improvement of NAFLD, chloroquine (CQ), an autophagy inhibitor, was injected into the mice fed a CDAHFD and betaine (0.5 % in drinking water). CQ did not affect SAA metabolism but reduced the beneficial effects of betaine as shown by the increases of hepatic lipids, ER stress, and apoptosis. Notably, the betaine-induced improvements in lipid metabolism determined by protein levels of p-AMPK, p-ACC, PPARα, and ACS1, were reversed by CQ. Thus, the results of this study suggest that the activation of autophagy is an important upstream mechanism for the inhibition of steatosis, ER stress, and apoptosis by betaine in NAFLD.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10939,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Food Science","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100663"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2665927123002319/pdfft?md5=8d66ea50e41e262d79f3ee682447b6d5&pid=1-s2.0-S2665927123002319-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138985948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, alcoholic injury models were constructed in mice and human normal hepatocyte L02 cells to explore the protective effect and mechanism of GLC on ALD.

In addition, GLC intervention significantly improved alcohol induced hepatic oxidative stress by reducing the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and, increasing the levels of glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the liver. Further mechanisms suggest that GLC can inhibit the expression of ethanol metabolism enzyme cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1), activate the antioxidant pathway Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1, down-regulate the phosphorylation of MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, and thus reduce the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).

Despite this, the mechanistic underpinnings of kidney damage precipitated by a high purine diet warrant further research. In the current investigation, a hyperuricemia nephropathy rat model was developed through induction via a high purine diet. Subsequently, metabolomic and proteomic analyses were employed to explore the metabolic characteristics of the kidney and shed light on the corresponding mechanistic pathway. Finally, fluorescence imaging and ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed tomography (¹⁸F-FDG-PET/CT) were utilized to validate the overarching energy metabolism state. The results revealed extensive damage to the kidneys of hyperuricemia nephropathy rats following eight weeks of induction via a high purine diet. We used metabolomic to found that acyl carnitines and L-carnitine reduced in high purine diet group, indicated abnormal fatty acid metabolism. Irregularities were discerned in metabolites and enzymes associated with fatty acid β-oxidation, glycolysis, and oxidative phosphorylation within the kidneys of hyperuricemia nephropathy rats by proteomic and co-expression network analysis. The application of fluorescence imaging and ¹⁸F-FDG-PET/CT substantiated the inhibition of fatty acid β-oxidation and glycolysis within the kidneys of hyperuricemia nephropathy rats. On the contrary, a compensatory enhancement in the function of oxidative phosphorylation was observed. Given that the primary energy supply for renal function was derived from the metabolic pathway of fatty acids β-oxidation, any disruption within this pathway could contribute to a deficit in the energy provision to the kidneys. Such an energy insufficiency potentially laid the groundwork for eventual renal impairment. In addition, inhibition of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors signaling pathway was noted in the present findings, which could further exacerbate the impediment in the β-oxidation function. In conclusion, it was discerned that a deficiency in energy supply plays a critical role in the kidney injury in hyperuricemia nephropathy rats, thereby endorsing paying more attention to renal energy supply in the therapy of hyperuricemia nephropathy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10939,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Food Science","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100864"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142320050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
