This study evaluated the therapeutic effects of Cordyceps militaris ethanol extract (CME) on glycemic control and gut microbiota in a T2DM mouse model. After a 4-week intervention, CME administration effectively ameliorated hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia and pancreatic islet dysfunction. Concurrently, CME treatment was associated with favorable alterations in the gut microbiota, notably a reduced Bacillota/Bacteroidota ratio and increased relative abundance of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing genera including Eubacterium-ventriosum-group, Butyribacter and Candidatus-Soleaferrea, which correlated with elevated SCFAs concentrations. In addition, CME treatment was associated with enhanced expression of akt-1 and glut-2, which might be associated with increased SCFAs levels. These findings suggest that the observed upregulation of akt-1 and glut-2 expression may be linked to alterations in gut microbiota composition and increased SCFAs levels, which correlate with alleviated hyperglycemia. Correlation analysis further revealed that Lachnospiraceae-NK4B4-group, Candidatus Soleaferrea, Eubacterium-ventriosum-group and Anaeroplasma were highly correlated with multiple hyperglycemia-related biochemical indicators, suggesting their potential as microbial biomarkers for T2DM. Our findings provide correlational evidence supporting the potential of CME as a therapeutic agent.","PeriodicalId":11436,"journal":{"name":"eFood","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/efd2.70175","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148282284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A skimmed milk powder solution (10% w/v) was supplemented with 2% aguamiel syrup, while 2% inulin served as the control prebiotic. Fermentation was conducted for 48 h, monitoring probiotic viability, pH, lactic acid production, proteolytic activity, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. Although no significant differences were observed in metabolic parameters or free amino group concentrations, the aguamiel system promoted greater production of low-molecular-weight peptides associated with enhanced antihypertensive activity. The aguamiel fermentation reached 41.6% ACE inhibition at 36 h, whereas the inulin control exhibited 20.4% inhibition at 0 h and no detectable activity after 36 h. Additionally, aguamiel syrup accelerated acidification and promoted higher final cell densities, indicating improved fermentation performance.

Red beet (Beta vulgaris L.)–derived products are widely recognized as functional dietary components that support metabolic and vascular health, and multiple extraction strategies have been explored to optimize their biological efficacy. Pulsed electric field (PEF) processing has emerged as a nonthermal approach capable of enhancing the recovery of plant-derived bioactive compounds by increasing cellular permeability, while avoiding thermal degradation. However, the influence of PEF processing on endothelial-specific outcomes, including NO bioavailability, vascular remodeling, and endothelium-dependent function, has not been systematically investigated. In this study, we examined whether PEF processing qualitatively alters the vascular bioefficacy of red beet extracts in a high-fat diet–induced model of endothelial dysfunction. PEF-treated extracts restored endothelial signaling and improved vascular functional responsiveness to a greater extent than conventionally extracted preparations. Our findings demonstrate that PEF-treated red beet extracts exert superior protective effects on endothelial function compared with non-PEF–treated preparations. These results indicate that processing technology itself represents a biologically relevant determinant of vascular efficacy and highlight the potential of PEF-based approaches to enhance the endothelial benefits of plant-derived functional ingredients.","PeriodicalId":11436,"journal":{"name":"eFood","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/efd2.70174","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148221812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key factors considered include encapsulation efficiency, oxidation protection, casein network structural interactions, and gastrointestinal release characteristics. In vitro digestion models (e.g., INFOGEST) provide evidence that nanoencapsulation provides significantly higher bioaccessibility of hydrophobic nutrients compared to their free forms, with improvements of 3–5 times for polyphenols, omega-3 fatty acids, and fat-soluble vitamins. Lipid-based carriers have been shown to provide lipid oxidation protection as well as improve intestinal absorption. Protein–polysaccharide complexes enhance the slow-release properties of probiotic bacteria as well as their ability to survive during passage through the intestines. Also of great importance is that nanoengineered systems maintain yogurt rheological characteristics, water-holding ability, and sensory acceptability.

Short-, medium- and long-chain fatty acids have shown remarkable ability to reduce hyperlipidemia through mechanisms at the subcellular, cellular, and molecular levels. Recent studies highlight the significant properties of these natural molecules, emphasizing their potential in managing diabetes and preventing diabetogenesis by controlling major risk factors. Incorporating these dietary sources may offer a preventive approach to diabetes. Further investigations are necessary to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying their antidiabetic effects.

To elucidate structure–activity relationships, the extract was fractionated by preparative HPLC into phenolic acid/catechin-, ellagitannin-, and flavonoid-rich fractions. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using conventional spectrophotometric assays, kinetic stopped-flow DPPH measurements, and isothermal calorimetry in bulk sunflower oil and Pickering emulsions stabilized by zein nanoparticles. The ellagitannin-rich fraction, dominated by sanguiin H-6, exhibited the highest radical scavenging activity and largely accounted for the antioxidant behavior of the whole extract. While moderate inhibition of lipid oxidation was observed in bulk oil, a marked enhancement of antioxidant efficiency and induction time was achieved in Pickering emulsions, highlighting the importance of interfacial localization effects. Antimicrobial activity tests showed significant inhibition of Gram-positive foodborne pathogens, particularly Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus.

Herein, we demonstrated that a sphere-forming cell population enriched in stem-like features can be isolated from IGROV-1 and SKOV-3 cell lines; in particular, this subgroup was shown to possess higher migratory capacity and chemoresistance when compared to the non-stem counterpart. Notably, δ-TT was found to suppress OC stem-like traits, namely clonogenic and spherogenic ability as well as embryonic marker expression and ABCG2 enrichment. In addition, it significantly disrupted the migration of OC stem-like populations via modulation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and increased their sensitivity to cisplatin. At the molecular level, Akt and NF-κB downregulation was observed in treated spheroids.
