Therefore, the safety and functionality of vegetable oils are of great concern to consumers and cosmetics manufacturers. This study focused on three types of vegetable oils: sunflower oil (SO), andiroba oil (AO) and hydrogenated olive oil (HOO). We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the oils, which encompassed their ability to protect mouse skin keratinocytes (XB-2) and mouse fibroblasts (NIH 3T3) from damage caused by the surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), their influence on the levels of filaggrin and collagen, their potential to aid in wound healing, and their effectiveness in anti-Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation. The results showed that SO, AO and HOO at a concentration of 1.5 × 10^-4 % (v/v) have the ability to defend against SLS-induced cell damage, increase wound healing ability and the filaggrin and collagen content to XB-2 or NIH 3T3 cells. SO, AO and HOO at a concentration of 3.75 × 10^-3 % also have the anti-biofilm ability. Among the oils, AO can inhibit S. aureus biofilm composed of either polysaccharides or proteins.

However, the cellular permeation of bile acid-mixed micelles solubilized with lipophilic substances remains inadequately explored. To comprehend the cell permeation behavior of bile salts and their mixed micelles, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) were employed as a cell-mimetic system, prepared with dioleylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC). Confocal laser scanning microscopy, utilizing fluorescent dyes doped in the lipid membrane and solubilized substances, was employed to observe morphological changes in GUVs subsequent to the application of sodium cholate (NaC) alone and NaC-mixed micelles solubilized with lipophilic components. In the case of NaC alone, below the critical micelle concentration (CMC), the monomer interacts with the lipid membrane of the GUV, inducing endocytic morphological changes that result in the formation of small vesicles containing the bulk liquid inside the GUV. Conversely, when both monomers and micelles interacted with the lipid membrane beyond the CMC, lipid aggregates such as buds and threads protruded outward from the GUV. Contrastingly, upon application of three types of NaC mixed micelles-NaC-P solubilized with Palmitoyloleoylphosphocholine (POPC), NaC-P-F solubilized with oleic acid (OA) and monoolein (MO), and NaC-P-P solubilized with perylene, a liposoluble dye-to the GUV, the lipid membranes formed aggregates or vesicles and migrated into the interior of the GUV. In the case of NaC-P and NaC-P-P, the coexistence of drawn lipid aggregates and solubilized substances was scarcely observed. In contrast, for NaC-P-F, the coexistence of solubilized substances was observed in both lipid aggregates and small vesicles that migrated into the GUV.

In this work, coelomic fluid (PCF) and paste (PBP) of Pheretima posthuma was assessed for its potential as antibiofilm and anti-quorum sensing (QS) agent against pathogenic bacterial biofilms. PCF and PBP were extracted and biofilm formation time kinetics was examined using crystal violet staining method by utilizing four bacterial isolates in bispecies biofilm (06 combinations; MH5-MH10) and multi species biofilms (05 combinations; MH11-MH15). QS study was performed by determining pyocyanin formation time kinetics using 03 P. aeruginosa strains at various time periods (0, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours). Following next, anti- QS effect was analyzed by measuring pyocyanin concentrations. Results showed that among bispecies bacterial biofilms, MH5-MH7 combinations showed significantly higher biofilm (p < 0.05) after 72 hours while other three (MH8-MH10) produced maximum biofilm after 48 to 72 hours. Likewise, for multispecies biofilms, maximum biofilm was noted after 48-72 hours. QS analysis revealed that PA1 strain synthesized highly significant (p < 0.001) pyocyanin (20 µg/mL) after 96 hours compared to PA2 and PA3 strains, which formed significant pyocyanin (18 µg/mL) after 72 hours. Also, 100-150 µg/mL of both PCF and PBP exhibited a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in biofilm while 200 µg/mL concentration showed highest QS against all selected strains. To our knowledge, this is the first assessment of its kind on the potential application of earthworm PCF and PBP for its antibiofilm and anti-QS potential.

Furthermore, 10 µM NA inhibited cell migration and invasion of BT-549 cells via a non-significant increase in the mRNA expression of E-cadherin (CDH1) and significant decreases in the mRNA expression of N-cadherin (CDH2) and the protein expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and 2.

Fucoxanthin (Fx) is a typical marine carotenoid, found in brown seaweeds, such as Undaria pinnatifida (Wakame) and Saccharina japonica (Makonbu), and we demonstrated its anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects in animal models. As the molecular mechanism for anti-diabetic effect, dietary Fx has found to activate insulin signaling pathways and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT 4) in the skeletal muscles of diabetic/obese KK-A^y mice. Notably, Fx promoted GLUT4 translocation in the soleus muscle, up-regulated GLUT4 expression in the EDL muscle, and prevented and improved hyperglycemia through effective glucose uptake depending on the muscle types.

The intracellular conversion of n-3 DPA differed different among cells derived from macrophages, liver, and intestines. n-3 DPA markedly down-regulates the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory factors in activated macrophages. The suppressive effect of n-3 DPA on IL-6 mRNA expression was similar to that of DHA, but stronger than that of EPA. In addition, we demonstrated that n-3 PUFA-binding phosphatidylglycerol (PG) exhibited anti-inflammatory effects against activated macrophages, and that the effect was stronger than that of n-3 PUFA-phosphatidylcholine (PC). Furthermore, n-3 PUFA-PG significantly increased the intracellular EPA and DHA content compared to n-3 PUFA-PC treatment and induced Nrf2 activation. n-3 PUFA-PG, which enhances intracellular PUFAs, is contained in several microalgae such as Phaeodactylum tricornutum.
