Down-regulation of hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) expression after weaning is associated with hyperphagia-induced obesity in JCR rats overexpressing neuropeptide Y
Download2013
Diane, Abdoulaye, Pierce, W. David, Richard, Denis, Heth, C. Donald, Proctor, Spencer D., Vine, Donna F., Russell, James C.
We hypothesised that hypothalamic feeding-related neuropeptides are differentially expressed in obese-prone and lean-prone rats and trigger overeating-induced obesity. To test this hypothesis, in the present study, we measured energy balance and hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) and...

Downregulation of key genes involved in carbon metabolism in Medicago truncatula results in increased lipid accumulation in vegetative tissue
Download2020-02-11
Wijekoon, Champa, Singer, Stacy D., Weselake, Randall J., Petrie, James R., Chen, Guanqun, Singh, Surinder, Eastmond, Peter J., Acharya, Surya N.
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is the most widely grown perennial forage crop and is a close relative of the model diploid legume Medicago truncatula Gaertn. However, use of alfalfa leads to substantial greenhouse gas emissions and economic losses related to inefficiencies in rumen fermentation....

Background Dietary changes often accompany management of a cancer diagnosis, but how and why patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) make dietary decisions requires further investigation. Objective To learn about patients’ food-related beliefs and understand whether and why dietary changes were...

Dynamics of Enterobacteriaceae and lactobacilli in model sourdoughs are driven by pH and concentrations of sucrose and ferulic acid
Download2019-01-01
Dinardo, Francesca Rita, Minervini, Fabio, De Angelis, Maria, Gobbetti, Marco, Gänzle, Michael G.
This study aimed to assess, in model sourdough fermentations, the relevance of physico-chemical features of flour for the interactions between Enterobacteriaceae and lactobacilli, and for the interactions within the latter microbial group. Initially, model sourdoughs made with white wheat flour,...

Effect of acceptor carbohydrates on oligosaccharide and polysaccharide synthesis by dextransucrase DsrM from Weissella cibaria
Download2017-09-01
Hu, Ying, Winter, Verena, Chen, Xiao Yan, Gänzle, Michael G.
The digestibility of isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO) as well as their metabolism by gut microbiota depends on the degree of polymerization and the ratio of α-(1→4) to α-(1→6) linkages. Both parameters are influenced by the method of production. Commercial IMO are produced by transglycosylation of...

Effect of chitosan, and bacteriocin – Producing Carnobacterium maltaromaticum on survival of Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium on beef
Download2018-01-01
Hu, Zi Yi, Balay, Danielle, Hu, Ying, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic effect of chitosan and bacteriocins against Escherichia coli and Salmonella in media and in lean beef. The inhibitory effects of chitosan and bacteriocins against E. coli AW1.7 and S. enterica Typhimurium in media were determined by a...

Effect of copy number of the spoVA2mob operon, sourdough and reutericyclin on ropy bread spoilage caused by Bacillus spp.
Download2020-10-01
Li, Zhen, Siepmann, Francieli Begnini, Tovar, Luis E. Rojas, Chen, Xiaoyan, Gänzle, Michael G.
Bacillus spp. cause ropy bread spoilage of bread, which is characterized by a rotten fruity odor, followed by discoloration and degradation of the crumb. Bacillus spp. are wheat grain endophytes and form heat resistant endospores, therefore, process hygiene and heating during baking do not...

Effect of drying on oxidation of membrane lipids and expression of genes encoded by the Shiga toxin prophage in Escherichia coli
Download2020-01-01
Fang, Yuan, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
Drying processes do not eliminate pathogenic Escherichia coli in foods but induce sublethal injury, which may also induce the Shiga toxin (Stx) prophage. This study investigated the effect of drying on membrane lipid oxidation and stx expression in E. coli. Lipid peroxidation was probed with...

Even though the inactivation of microorganisms by high pressure treatment is a subject of intense investigations, the effect of high pressure on bacterial toxins has not been studied so far. In this study, the influence of combined pressure/temperature treatment (0.1 to 800 MPa and 5 to 121 °C)...
