Two markers of total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity (TAC) have been selected for the classification of honey samples for investigating the protective effects of different honey samples on hepatotoxicity induced by CCl₄. Hence, 56 male Wistar rats in 8 groups were selected and were given a daily single dose (20%) of honey samples classified as weak, medium, and strong based on TPC and TAC. After four weeks of pretreatment, acute liver damage (ALD) was induced in treated groups using CCl4 mixed with corn oil in a 1:1 ratio. Following ALD induction, the animals were sacrificed. Various samples were then collected for analysis, including serum samples for biochemistry tests (ALT, AST, ALP, and FBS) and antioxidant status assessment (DPPH, FRAP, THIOL, and MDA); urine samples for antioxidant status evaluation (DPPH, FRAP, and MDA); liver tissue homogenate for oxidative stress marker analysis (SOD, CAT, GPx, and MDA); and tissue samples for histopathological examination. Biochemical results showed a significant decrease (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.05) in ALT, AST, ALP, and FBS values in ALD groups treated with honey; antioxidant and oxidative stress evaluations also exactly approved the same results by an insignificant decrease (<i>p</i> ≥ 0.05) in serum MDA and a significant increase (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.05) in THIOL and DPPH and also a reduction in urinary MDA and increase of urinary DPPH all compared to positive control (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.05). SOD, CAT, and GPx activities and MDA values in liver homogenate also ameliorated in honey-treated group (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.05). Histopathological evaluations confirmed less damage in treated groups, especially in stronger honey. Potent honey samples based on TPC and TAC have more protective effects in hepatotoxicity.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Biochemistry","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/4475104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665898","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}

Therefore, it is necessary to unveil the potential advantages of the wild fruit <i>Hyphaene thebaica.</i> The edible wild palm fruit is a rich source of novel nutraceutical and pharmaceutical constituents. It is a rare, underutilized but highly nutritious fruit found in the tropics, and it is rich in a variety of time-proven healthy macro- and micronutrients.

Therefore, exploring the therapeutic potential of natural ingredients for AD is essential. This study conducted a network analysis to investigate the anti-AD effects of propolis and its underlying mechanism, with a focus on the compositional differences between Korean and Brazilian propolis. To identify the bioactive components and related mechanisms, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in AD-induced HaCaT cells with and without propolis treatment were identified. NCBI, SwissTargetPrediction, STITCH, and the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) were used to identify target genes of the propolis compounds, and these genes were compared with the DEGs to identify the shared target genes. Notably, CXCL10 and CCL2 were highly associated with target genes shared between Korean and Brazilian propolis, with Korean propolis affecting TLR4, RIPK2, and PYCARD and Brazilian propolis influencing CEBPB, PTGS2, and DAB2IP. Korean propolis was found to predominantly impact the regulation of mast cell activation and the cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway, whereas Brazilian propolis primarily affects Type I interferon–mediated regulation and the TNF signaling pathway. Additionally, both the TNF and IL-17 signaling pathways were implicated in the mechanisms of both Brazilian propolis and Korean propolis. Furthermore, our study validated the therapeutic potential of propolis in AD treatment, as evidenced by significant reductions in TNF-<i>α</i>, IFN-<i>γ</i>, IL-4, IL-13, CXCL10, CCL2, and histamine release in an AD-induced model.

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) are two major enzymes involved in this phenomenon, as they oxidize phenolic compounds to quinones, which in turn polymerize to brown pigments. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in developing antibrowning treatments using food by-products. Herein, the efficiency of a kiwi peel extract in reducing enzymatic browning of minimally processed lettuce (<i>Lactuca sativa</i>) has been investigated. PPO and POD activities showed an opposite spatial distribution within the leaf, with a higher POD activity in the midvein (MV) and in the inner lamina tissues, and a prevalence of PPO activity in the mesophyll. Considering that MV lignified tissues are those mainly affected by browning, the temporal trend of POD activity over a 20-day storage period at 4°C was investigated. Data showed that treatment with a kiwi peel extract hinders both the increasing trend of POD activity and browning development compared to control leaves. These results could be potentially useful for the industry as they confirm that natural extracts, such as kiwi peel extract, can be valuable for extending the shelf-life of RTE products.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Biochemistry","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/4610926","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664712","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}

Antiproliferative activity was evaluated using MTT assay. The <i>in vitro</i> drug interaction was studied by the Chou–Talalay method. Apoptosis induction and cell cycle arrest were analyzed by flow cytometry. The levels of proteins involved in apoptosis were evaluated by western blot analysis. Mouse xenograft models were used to evaluate the anticancer activity of KK4-PSE in animals (<i>in vivo</i>). KK4-PSE inhibited the proliferation of CCA cell line (IC₅₀ = 37.22 ± 4.31, 26.27 ± 0.78, and 17.72 ± 0.50 μg/mL at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h exposures, respectively) more effectively than that of the noncancer H69 cholangiocyte cell line (IC₅₀ = 193.35 ± 6.55, 75.35 ± 1.00, and 57.41 ± 0.96 μg/mL at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h exposures, respectively). In KKU-M213B cells, KK4-PSE treatments in combination with cisplatin caused cell cycle arrest at G2/M, whereas combined KK4-PSE and 5-FU caused a significant increase of Sub G1 population for 24 h exposure. Furthermore, a significant increase in the percentage of apoptotic cells was also observed in combination treatments. The combination treatments of KK4-PSE with cisplatin and 5-FU caused downregulation of pERK1/2 and Bcl2 and caused a decrease in the Bcl2/Bax ratio, resulting in enhanced apoptosis. In addition, KK4-PSE treatments in combination with 5-FU suppressed tumor growth in BALB/cAJcl-Nu/Nu xenograft models more effectively than the combinations with cisplatin.
