Reviewing the relationship between iron overload and diabetes and its relationship with LEAD, and discussing its mechanism from various aspects.

Wheat is a vital and preferred energy source in many parts of the world. Its unique processing quality helps to prepare many products such as bread, biscuit, pasta, noodles, etc. In the world of rapid economic growth, food security in terms of nutritional profile began to receive more significant interest. The development of biofortified colored wheat (black, purple, and blue) adds nutritional and functional health benefits to the energy-rich wheat. Colored wheat exists in three forms, purple, b...

Responsive controlled release of TGF-β3 for microenvironment modulation and endogenous repair in intervertebral disc degeneration

The microbiota-gut-liver axis has emerged as an important player in developing non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a type of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Higher mushroom intake is negatively associated with the prevalence of NAFLD. This study examined whether lentinan, an active ingredient in mushroom, could improve NAFLD and gut microbiota dysbiosis in NAFLD mice induced by a high-fat (HF) diet. Dietary lentinan supplementation for 15 weeks significantly improved gut microbiota ...

Read Time: A new study from the University of California, Irvine shows that compounds in both green and black tea relax blood vessels by activating ion channel proteins in the blood vessel wall. The discovery helps explain the antihypertensive properties of tea and could lead to the design of new blood pressure-lowering medications. Published in  Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, the discovery was made by the laboratory of Geoffrey Abbott, PhD, a professor in the Department of Physiology...
