Folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6 status of a group of high socioeconomic status women in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) cohort
Download2014-01-01
Fayyaz, Faiqa, Wang, Flora, Jacobs, René L., O'Connor, Deborah L., Bell, Rhonda C., Field, Catherine J.
Folic acid supplementation and food fortification policies have improved folate status in North American women of child bearing age. Recent studies have reported the possible inadequacy of vitamin B12 and B6 in the etiology of neural tube defects in folate-fortified populations. The aims of this...

Food fermentations for improved digestibility of plant foods - an essential ex situ digestion step in agricultural societies?
Download2021-01-05
The fermentation of plant foods detoxifies and eliminates compounds that are inherently present in grains and legumes and have antinutritive properties, including cyanogenic glycosides, vicine and convicine, phytate, phenolic compounds, immune-reactive proteins and fermentable oligosaccharides,...

Egg shell powder is used as a calcium source in a nutritional supplement known as \"multimistura\" that has been distributed in Brazil by non-governmental organizations. The objectives of this research were to fortify traditional, low cost and easy to prepare dishes with egg shell powder and to...

Food protein-stabilized nanoemulsions as potential delivery systems for poorly water-soluble drugs: Preparation, in vitro characterization and pharmacokinetics in rats
Download2011
He, Wei, Tian, Zhiqiang, Wu, Wei, Hu, Fuqiang, Chen, Lingyun, Tan, Yanan
Nanoemulsions stabilized by traditional emulsifiers raise toxicological concerns for long-term treatment. The present work investigates the potential of food proteins as safer stabilizers for nanoemulsions to deliver hydrophobic drugs. Nanoemulsions stabilized by food proteins (soybean protein...

Chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis and cancer are now the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Inflammatory processes and oxidative stress underlie the pathogenesis of these pathological conditions. Bioactive peptides derived from food proteins have been evaluated for...

Formation of taste-active amino acids, amino acid derivatives and peptides in food fermentations – A review
Download2016-11-01
Zhao, Cindy J., Schieber, Andreas, Gänzle, Michael G.
Fermented foods are valued for their rich and complex odour and taste. The metabolic activity of food-fermenting microorganisms determines food quality and generates odour and taste compounds. This communication reviews the formation of taste-active amino acids, amino acid derivatives and...

Formulating food protein-stabilized indomethacin nanosuspensions into pellets by fluid-bed coating technology: Physical characterization, redispersibility, and dissolution
Download2013
Yin, Lifang, Wu, Wei, He, Wei, Chen, Lingyun, Lu, Yi, Qi, Jianping
Background: Drug nanosuspensions are very promising for enhancing the dissolution and bioavailability of drugs that are poorly soluble in water. However, the poor stability of nanosuspensions, reflected in particle growth, aggregation/agglomeration, and change in crystallinity state greatly...

Chronic exposure to elevated free fatty acids (lipotoxicity) induces uncoupling protein (UCP2) in the pancreatic β-cell, and therefore a causal link between UCP2 and β-cell defects associated with obesity may exist. Recently, we showed that lipid treatment in vivo and in vitro in UCP2(–/–)...

Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) is often based on a functional or statistical model of gene action involving two alleles per locus. Such model is adequate for mapping populations derived from a cross between two inbred lines as in many plants and some laboratory animals and for di-allelic...

Functional and topological analysis of yeast acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2, an endoplasmic reticulum enzyme essential for triacylglycerol biosynthesis
Download2011
Siloto, Rodrigo M. P., Snyder, Crystal L., Liu, Qin, Weselake, Randall J.
Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.20) is a membrane protein present mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum. It catalyzes the final and committed step in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol, which is the principal repository of fatty acids for energy utilization and membrane...
