Ambrosi, Alan published the artcileBeer dealcoholization by forward osmosis diafiltration, Safety of 3-(Methylthio)propan-1-ol, the main research area is beer dealcoholization forward osmosis diafiltration.

Membrane separation processes used for beer dealcoholization have as main advantage the operation at mild temperatures when compared to traditional thermal technologies. Such alternatives to thermal treatment preserve the organoleptic quality of the foods that are being processed. This work assesses the use of forward osmosis to dealcoholize a com. beer containing 5 vol% of alc. In this process, water and ethanol are removed from the beer simultaneously, and diafiltration is used to rehydrate the beer, reducing its alc. content. We assess this study by characterizing the chem. profile of the beer before and after the FO diafiltration process. It was possible to obtain a low alc. beer containing 0.5 vol%, but phys.-chem. properties were impaired. The turbidity and salinity increased by 44% and 70%, resp., while color decreased 7%. We also noticed the loss of flavor compounds Results indicate that forward osmosis can be an alternative to reduce the ethanol content of aqueous solutions such as beverages and fermentation broths.

Goni, Miguel A. published the artcileCutin-derived cupric oxide reaction products from purified cuticles and tree leaves, HPLC of Formula: 13099-34-8, the main research area is cutin copper oxide oxidation fatty acid; cuticle leaf oxidation fatty acid.

Long-chain (C16-C18) hydroxy fatty acids are obtained among the nonlignin-derived reaction products from the CuO oxidation of a variety of geochem. samples. To investigate the origin of these acids, the CuO reaction products of isolated cuticles and whole leaves were investigated. The reaction products from the CuO oxidation of purified apple (Malus pumila) cuticle include 16-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid, 10,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid, 9,10,18-trihydroxyoctadec-12-enoic acid, and 9,10,18-trihydroxyoctadecanoic acid as major components. The distribution of these cutin-derived CuO reaction products is similar to the monomer compositions deduced from traditional methods of cutin anal. Oxidation of whole English Holly (Ilex aquifolium) leaves yields cutin-derived acidic reaction products (in addition to lignin-derived phenols) similar to those obtained from oxidation of the corresponding isolated cuticles, indicating that CuO oxidation of bulk plant tissue is a viable procedure of cutin anal. in geochem. applications.

Jing, Shan published the artcileHigher growth of the apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) fruit cortex is supported by resource intensive metabolism during early development, Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks, the main research area is Malus fruit development cortex growth metabolism; Carbon metabolism; Cell production; Fruit growth and development; Fruit load reduction; Metabolic profiling; Nitrogen metabolism; Sink activity.

Abstract: Background: The major fleshy tissues of the apple fruit are spatially separable into cortex and pith. These tissues display differential growth during development. We hypothesized that differential growth between these fruit tissues is supported by differential sink metabolic programs, particularly during early development. Growth, metabolite concentrations, and transcript abundance of metabolism-related genes were measured to determine characteristics of differential growth and their underlying metabolic programs. Results: The cortex displayed > 5-fold higher growth than the pith during early fruit development, indicating that differential growth was established during this period. Further, when resource availability was increased through sink-removal, cortex growth was preferentially enhanced. Higher cortex growth during early development was facilitated by increased catabolism of imported carbon (C) resources, sorbitol and sucrose, and the nitrogen (N) resource, asparagine. It was also associated with enhanced primary C metabolism, and C storage as malate and quinate. The pith metabolic program during this period involved limited allocation of C and N to growth, but greater allocation to storage, and enhanced sucrose-sucrose cycling. Conclusions: Together, these data indicate that the fruit cortex tissue displays a resource intensive metabolic program during early fruit development.

Perichet, Christine published the artcileStudy of some Zanthoxylum species by chemical and DNA analysis approaches, Name: 2-(2-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)-5-methylcyclohexanol, the main research area is Zanthoxylum species difference chem DNA analysis; Fagara ; Zanthoxylum ; DNA recognition; authentication; fragrances.

The authentication and traceability of spices is a major concern for industrials and consumers. We focused on species from Zanthoxylum genera which are used for many different applications by local populations and also for trading as spices (dried pericarps or whole fruits). In this case, literature gives contradictory data about botanical names, and com. labeling is often confusing. We studied com. fruits pericarps extracts obtained by supercritical CO2 and analyzed them by GC/MS. The very complex volatile and semi volatile fractions composition of each extract is described. The barcoding method including mol. biol. and phylogenetic analyses was also developed in order to check the com. botanical identification of the raw material. This is a robust method to identify species in berries samples. We used one genetic marker to identify two Rutaceae clusters, including several species of Zanthoxylum genus. These results indicate that Fagara and Zanthoxylum groups could be considered as two different genera. Combination of chem. anal. and DNA anal. provides an original approach to increase chem. and botanical Zanthoxylum genus knowledge.

Zhang, Guo-Fang published the artcileReductive TCA cycle metabolism fuels glutamine- and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, Product Details of C4H6O5, the main research area is TCA cycle metabolism fuel glucose insulin secretion; NADPH; anaplerosis; insulin secretion; isocitrate dehydrogenase-2; metabolic flux; pancreatic islet β cells; reductive TCA cycle; stable isotopes.

Metabolic fuels regulate insulin secretion by generating second messengers that drive insulin granule exocytosis, but the biochem. pathways involved are incompletely understood. Here we demonstrate that stimulation of rat insulinoma cells or primary rat islets with glucose or glutamine + 2-aminobicyclo-(2,2,1)-heptane-2-carboxylic acid (Gln + BCH) induces reductive, “”counter-clockwise”” tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle flux of glutamine to citrate. Mol. or pharmacol. suppression of isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2), which catalyzes reductive carboxylation of 2-ketoglutarate to isocitrate, results in impairment of glucose- and Gln + BCH-stimulated reductive TCA cycle flux, lowering of NADPH levels, and inhibition of insulin secretion. Pharmacol. suppression of IDH2 also inhibits insulin secretion in living mice. Reductive TCA cycle flux has been proposed as a mechanism for generation of biomass in cancer cells. Here we demonstrate that reductive TCA cycle flux also produces stimulus-secretion coupling factors that regulate insulin secretion, including in non-dividing cells.

Conte, Federica published the artcilePhosphoglucomutase-1 deficiency: Early presentation, metabolic management and detection in neonatal blood spots, Safety of (2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxyhexanal, the main research area is phosphoglucomutase deficiency neonatal blood metabolism; Congenital disorder of glycosylation; Dilated cardiomyopathy; Exercise intolerance; Galactose; Hypoglycemia; PGM1.

Phosphoglucomutase 1 deficiency is a congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) with multiorgan involvement affecting carbohydrate metabolism, N-glycosylation and energy production The metabolic management consists of dietary D-galactose supplementation that ameliorates hypoglycemia, hepatic dysfunction, endocrine anomalies and growth delay. Previous studies suggest that D-galactose administration in juvenile patients leads to more significant and long-lasting effects, stressing the urge of neonatal diagnosis (0-6 mo of age). Here, we detail the early clin. presentation of PGM1-CDG in eleven infantile patients, and applied the modified Beutler test for screening of PGM1-CDG in neonatal dried blood spots (DBSs). All eleven infants presented episodic hypoglycemia and elevated transaminases, along with cleft palate and growth delay (10/11), muscle involvement (8/11), neurol. involvement (5/11), cardiac defects (2/11). Standard dietary measures for suspected lactose intolerance in four patients prior to diagnosis led to worsening of hypoglycemia, hepatic failure and recurrent diarrhea, which resolved upon D-galactose supplementation. To investigate possible differences in early vs. late clin. presentation, we performed the first systematic literature review for PGM1-CDG, which highlighted respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms as significantly more diagnosed in neonatal age. The modified Butler-test successfully identified PGM1-CDG in DBSs from seven patients, including for the first time Guthrie cards from newborn screening, confirming the possibility of future inclusion of PGM1-CDG in neonatal screening programs. In conclusion, severe infantile morbidity of PGM1-CDG due to delayed diagnosis could be prevented by raising awareness on its early presentation and by inclusion in newborn screening programs, enabling early treatments and galactose-based metabolic management.

Liu, Bilin published the artcileComparative study on isolation and mitochondrial function of adult mouse and rat cardiomyocytes, Recommanded Product: (S)-2-hydroxysuccinic acid, the main research area is cardiomyocyte mitochondria reactive oxygen species; Cardiomyocytes cultivation; Mitochondrial function; Mouse; ROS; Rat; mPTP.

The functions of mouse cardiomyocytes decline faster than rat cardiomyocytes in culture conditions. However, little is known about the difference of mitochondrial function between cultured mouse and rat myocytes. Cardiomyocytes mitochondrial functions were measured after 2 h, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, and 4 days culture by monitoring mitoflashes. Then, we focused on the third day cultured mouse and rat myocytes, comparatively analyzing the respiration function and superoxide generation stimulated by pyruvate/malate/ADP and the mPTP opening induction. Mouse myocytes showed lower respiration and mitoflash activity, but without the change of maximum uncoupled respiration when compared with rat myocytes. Although the response to superoxide production stimulated by respiration substrates was slower than rat myocytes, the basal superoxide generation is faster than the rat. The faster mitochondrial ROS generation of mouse myocytes upon laser stimulation triggered the faster mPTP opening compared with the rat. Finally, antioxidant MitoTEMPO pretreatment preserved the mitochondrial function of mouse myocytes on the third day. The mitochondrial function and stability are different between cultured mouse and rat cardiac myocytes beyond 3 days even though they both belong to Muridae. Mitochondrial ROS impairs the mitochondrial functions of mouse cardiomyocytes on the third day. Suppressing superoxide maintained the mitochondrial function of mouse myocytes on the third day.

Agramonte, Natasha M. published the artcileComparative evaluation of a silicone membrane as an alternative to skin for testing mosquito repellents, Quality Control of 42822-86-6, the main research area is mosquito repellents silicone membrane skin.

Repellents prevent mosquito bites and help reduce mosquito-borne disease, a global public health issue. Laboratory-based repellent bioassays predict the ability of compounds to deter mosquito feeding, but the variety of repellent bioassays and statistical anal. methods makes it difficult to compare results across methodologies. The most realistic data are collected when repellents are applied on the skin; however, this method exposes volunteers to chems. and mosquito bites. Silicone membranes were investigated as an alternative to human skin in assays of repellent efficacy. Results from module system bioassays conducted in vitro with a silicone membrane were compared with in vivo bioassays conducted with N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (referred to as DEET), 1-piperidinecarboxylic acid 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-methylpropylester (referred to as Picaridin), Et 3-[acetyl(butyl)amino]propanoate (referred to as IR3535), and para-menthane-3,8-diol (referred to as PMD) applied directly on the skin of the leg. No significant difference in mosquito feeding was found when comparing skin and volunteer-worn membrane controls using blood; however, feeding was significantly lower in unworn membrane controls using either 10% sucrose or blood, indicating that worn membranes are a possible surrogate for untreated human skin. Pooled data from six volunteers were used to generate dose-response curves of blood-feeding activity. Results from skin-applied repellents were modeled to determine if membranes could provide a predictive correlate for skin. Goodness-of-fit comparisons indicated that the nonlinear dose-response curves for the skin and membrane differed significantly for DEET and Picaridin, but did not differ significantly for IR3535 and PMD. With knowledge of the dose-response relationships and further modifications to this system, the membrane-based tests could be used for standardized repellent testing with infected vectors.

Wada, Yoichi published the artcileBiallelic GALM pathogenic variants cause a novel type of galactosemia, Recommanded Product: (2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxyhexanal, the main research area is biallelic GALM galactosemia peripheral blood mononuclear cell; GALM; Leloir pathway; galactose; galactose mutarotase; genetics.

Galactosemia is caused by metabolic disturbances at various stages of galactose metabolism, including deficiencies in enzymes involved in the Leloir pathway (GALT, GALK1, and GALE). Nevertheless, the etiol. of galactosemia has not been identified in a subset of patients. This study aimed to explore the causes of unexplained galactosemia. Trio-based exome sequencing and/or Sanger sequencing was performed in eight patients with unexplained congenital galactosemia. In vitro enzymic assays and immunoblot assays were performed to confirm the pathogenicity of the variants. The highest blood galactose levels observed in each patient were 17.3-41.9 mg/dL. Bilateral cataracts were observed in two patients. In all eight patients, we identified biallelic variants (p.Arg82*, p.Ile99Leufs*46, p.Gly142Arg, p.Arg267Gly, and p.Trp311*) in the GALM encoding galactose mutarotase, which catalyzes epimerization between β- and α-D-galactose in the first step of the Leloir pathway. GALM enzyme activities were undetectable in lymphoblastoid cell lines established from two patients. Immunoblot anal. showed the absence of the GALM protein in the patients’ peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In vitro GALM expression and protein stability assays revealed altered stabilities of the variant GALM proteins. Biallelic GALM pathogenic variants cause galactosemia, suggesting the existence of type IV galactosemia.

Araujo de Lima, Ludmila published the artcileEffects of vitamin D (VD3) supplementation on the brain mitochondrial function of male rats, in the 6-OHDA-induced model of Parkinson’s disease, HPLC of Formula: 97-67-6, the main research area is vitamin supplementation brain mitochondrial function OHDA induced Parkinson disease; 6-OHDA-model of PD; Mitochondria; Oxidative stress; VD3; Vitamin D.

Mitochondria dysfunction is an important factor involved in PD pathogenesis. We reported neuroprotective actions of vitamin D (VD3) on a PD model, and now we investigated the VD3 effects on the brain mitochondrial function. We focused on oxygen consumption, respiratory control ratio (RCR), ADP/O ratio, mitochondria swelling, H2O2 production, and SOD activity. Addnl., immunohistochem. assays for the dopamine system markers (TH and DAT) and mitochondrial markers (VDAC1 and Hsp60) were also carried out in the striata. Young adult male Wistar rats (250 g, 2.5 mo age) were anesthetized and subjected to stereotaxic surgery and injection of saline (SO group) or 6-OHDA, into the right striatum. Brain mitochondria were isolated from the groups: sham-operated (SO), 6-OHDA, 6-OHDA pretreated with VD3 for 7, days before the 6-OHDA lesion (6-OHDA+VD3, pre-) or treated with VD3 for 14 days, after the 6-OHDA lesion (6-OHDA+VD3, post-). VD3 prevented decreases in oxygen consumption, RCR, and ADP/O ratio observed after 6-OHDA injury. Noteworthy, a very low (oxygen consumption and RCR) or no improvement (ADP/O) were observed in the 6-OHDA+VD3 post- group. VD3 also prevented the increased mitochondria swelling and H2O2 production and a decrease in SOD activity, resp., in the 6-OHDA injured mitochondria. Also, VD3 supplementation protected the hemiparkinsonian brain from decreases in TH and DAT expressions and decreased the upregulation of mitochondrial markers, as VDAC 1 and Hsp60. In conclusion, VD3 showed neuroprotective actions on brain mitochondria injured by 6-OHDA and should stimulate translational studies focusing on its use as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases as PD.
