1. CYP450 Metabolism of a Semisynthetic Naphthoquinone, an Anticancer Drug Candidate, by Human Liver Microsomes
CNFD (6b,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[b]naphtho[2,1-d]furan-5,6(9aH)-dione) is a semisynthetic naphthoquinone derived from lawsone that has cytotoxic action in different tumor lines and anticancer activity in vivo. Therefore, this molecule is a relevant candidate for drug development, but there is still no information on its human metabolism and systemic eliminat

2. HFE hemochromatosis: an overview about therapeutic recommendations
Abstract Hemochromatosis is currently characterized by the iron overload caused by hepcidin deficiency. Large advances in the knowledge on the hemochromatosis pathophysiology have occurred due to a better understanding of the protein of the iron metabolism, the genetic basis of hemochromatosis and of other iron overload diseases or conditions which can lead

3. Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR induces the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in breast cancer cells
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway is essential for proper cellular metabolism and cell growth. However, aberrant activation of this pathway has been linked to the progression and metastasis of breast cancer. Recently, the role of long non-coding RNAs in interfering with the ce

4. Effects of perilipin-5 on lipid metabolism and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Heart attack is one of the most common causes of sudden death in adults. Therefore, early detection of heart attack and investigation of potential new biomarkers are of great importance. We investigated whether perilipin-5 is a potential biomarker by examining changes in perilipin-5 serum levels along with high-sensitivity cardiac troponi

5. Obesity-associated Pathways of Anthocyanins
Abstract Anthocyanins have a great potential for human health, as a sub-group of phenolic compounds. Interactions of anthocyanin involved in digestion and thus in obesity consist of inhibition of pancreatic lipase, regulation of lipolysis and lipogenesis, activation of an activated protein kinase enzyme, controlling of digestion hormones (leptin, insulin, gh

6. Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) characterization as adjunct in beer brewing
Abstract Given the scenario of buckwheat cultivation in Brazil, the research was developed evaluating its insertion in beer production as adjunct. The samples of interest were made with 55% (w/w) barley malt and 45% (w/w) buckwheat malt (45BWM), referenced to 100% Pilsen malt beer (AM). The results showed that the buckwheat malt wort had a 96.27% dry base ex

7. Identification of Potential Human Protein Targets for Soybean Isoflavones
Soy isoflavones have been reported as endocrine disruptors due to their ability to modulate the activity of estrogen receptors (ERs) in mammals; however, its ability to modulate other metabolic pathways is not entirely clear, which makes it necessary to identify new pharmacological targets that interact with these compounds present in soybean. In this work,

8. Isolation, characterisation and continuous culture of Lactobacillus spp. and its potential use for lactic acid production from whey
Abstract Bioprospecting of microorganisms with the potential of exploiting agro-industrial wastes is an active field of biotechnological research. In this study, we aimed to isolate a microorganism adapted to the dairy matrix with specific characteristics to produce lactic acid from dairy industry wastes, such as whey. Whey was collected from the agricultura

9. Intestinal Microbiota and Cardiovascular Diseases
Abstract Recently, gut microbiota has emerged as an important mediator of several diseases such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension, obesity, cancers and neuropsychiatric diseases including Alzheimer, autism and depression. Intestinal microbiota is formed by bacteria, fungi and viruses and its main function is to facilitate the absorption and

10. Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) Iljinskaja polysaccharides alleviate type 2 diabetes mellitus in rats by resisting inflammatory response and oxidative stress
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) Iljinskaja polysaccharides (CPP) on the glucose-lipid metabolism in T2DM rats. T2DM model was established in 40 Wistar rats which were then randomly divided into model, CPP-1, CPP-2 and CPP-3 groups. Ten normal rats were selected as the control group. The CPP-1, CPP-2 and CP

11. Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis of the microbial community structure and metabolic potential of fermented soybean in Yunnan Province
Abstract Traditional fermented soybean contains a variety of microflora. To obtain a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the microbial community structure and metabolic potential of fermented soybean, comparative metagenomics and metatranscriptomics were performed on a sample of fermented soybean in Yunnan Province. Metagenomic DNA and metatranscript

12. Proteomic analysis of the inhibitory effect of chitosan on Penicillium expansum
Abstract The antimicrobial effect of chitosan on Penicillium expansum, a major postharvest pathogen of pome fruit, and the possible mechanisms involved in its effect were examined in this study. Chitosan strongly inhibited spore germination and hyphal growth of P. expansum. Light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy observations revealed that chit
