3-Hydroxypropionic acid contributes to the antibacterial activity of glycerol metabolism by the food microbe Limosilactobacillus reuteri
Download2021-09-01
Liang, Nuanyi, Bunesova, Vera, Tejnecky, Vaclav, Gänzle, Michael G., Schwabb, Clarissa
Strains of Limosilactobacillus reuteri are used as starter and bioprotective cultures and contribute to the preservation of food through the production of fermentation metabolites lactic and acetic acid, and of the antimicrobial reuterin. Reuterin consists of acrolein and 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde...

A Nutritional Perspective of Ketogenic Diet in Cancer: A Narrative Review
2018-04-01
Oliveira, Camila L. P., Mattingly, Stephanie, Schirrmacher, Ralf, Sawyer, Michael B., Fine, Eugene J., Prado, Carla M.
The predominant use of glucose anaerobically by cancer cells (Warburg effect) may be the most important characteristic the majority of these cells have in common and, therefore, a potential metabolic pathway to be targeted during cancer treatment. Because this effect relates to fuel oxidation,...
