Fermentation of various food stuffs by lactic acid bacteria is one the oldest forms biopreservation. Bacterial antagonism has been recognized for over a century, but in recent years, this phenomenon received more scientific attention, particularly use strains (LAB). Certain LAB demonstrated antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens, including bacteria, yeast and filamentous fungi. Furthermore, many authors proved that have ability to neutralize mycotoxin produced last group. Antimicrobial mainly based on production metabolites such as acid, organic acids, hydroperoxide bacteriocins. In addition, some research suggests other mechanisms pathogens well their toxic metabolites. These properties are very important because future possibility exchange chemical physical methods preservation with biological method Biopreservation defined extension shelf life increase safety controlled microorganisms or This may determine alternative usage preservatives. study, possibilities provided. Our aim yield knowledge about fermentation pathogenic microorganisms. we would like introduce actual information health aspects associated consumption fermented products, probiotics.

Abstract Vitamin K is a vital micronutrient implicated in variety of human diseases. Warfarin, vitamin antagonist, the most commonly prescribed oral anticoagulant. Patients overdosed on warfarin can be rescued by administering high doses because existence warfarin-resistant reductase. Despite functional discovery reductase over eight decades ago, its identity remained elusive. Here, we report identification using genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen with K-dependent apoptotic reporter cell line. We find that ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1), ubiquinone oxidoreductase, enzyme responsible for reduction manner, consistent recent Mishima et al. FSP1 inhibitor inhibited and thus triggered cancer ferroptosis, displays strong inhibition carboxylation. Intriguingly, dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, another ubiquinone-associated parallel to function FSP1, does not support These findings provide new insights into selectively controlling physiological pathological processes involving electron transfers mediated ubiquinone.

The growth of the elderly population worldwide is posing significant challenges to human society. progressive physical and physiological changes occur with aging, including decreased appetite, incomplete digestion, reduced absorption nutrients. A common feature many people's diets a deficiency in proteins (especially easily digestible ones) micronutrients (e.g., vitamins, zinc, iron, calcium). One solutions this problem incorporation these components into suitably texture-modified foods. There dearth products that meet needs special medical/health conditions such as dysphagia, osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, well those who are hospital palliative care.

Biomarkers of metabolic syndrome and inflammation are pathophysiological predictors factors senescence age-related diseases. Recent evidence showed that particular diet components, such as walnuts rich in antioxidant bioactive compounds with a balanced lipid profile, could have positive outcomes on human health. A systematic search PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov databases was performed to retrieve randomized controlled trials published from the beginning each database through November 2021, reporting walnut consumption over 22 inflammatory markers middle-aged older adults. The strategy rendered 17 studies final selection, including 11 crossover 6 parallel trials. study revealed walnut-enriched diets had statistically significant decreasing effects for triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol concentrations some presented no consequences anthropometric glycemic parameters. Although further better-designed ones needed strengthen these findings, results emphasize benefits dietary plans this age group.

The drugs are discussed chronologically, starting in 1880s, progressing through to 2024. innovations technology used develop novel came fits starts reflected advances science over these decades, whereas shift from anecdote evidence-based use was delayed until principles epidemiology biostatistics were introduced into trial design approval process. Hirudin, heparin, vitamin K antagonists discovered by chance, clinically before their mechanism action elucidated net benefits evaluated randomized trials. Subsequent designed based on better understanding structure function coagulation proteins, including antithrombin, thrombin, factor Xa, underwent more rigorous preclinical regulatory approval.
