The Importance of Nutrition in Menopause and Perimenopause—A Review

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 16(1), P. 27 - 27

Published: Dec. 21, 2023

Menopause is associated with an increased prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, and osteoporosis. These diseases unfavorable laboratory values, which are characteristic this period in women, can be significantly improved by eliminating reducing dietary risk factors. Changing habits during perimenopause most effectively achieved through nutrition counseling intervention. To reduce the factors all these case already existing disease, therapy led a dietitian should integral part treatment. The following review summarizes recommendations for balanced diet fluid intake, prevention role sleep, key preventive nutrients menopause, such as vitamin D, calcium, C, B vitamins, protein intake. In summary, many lifestyle developing (cardiovascular insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, tumors) symptoms period.

Exogenous Melatonin Application Delays Senescence and Improves Postharvest Antioxidant Capacity in Blueberries

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(2), P. 428 - 428

Published: Feb. 9, 2025

Blueberries are highly prone to postharvest decay, resulting in significant nutrient loss and economic damage. Current research on the storage of blueberries primarily focuses techniques, while underlying mechanisms remain insufficiently explored. To further explore role exogenous melatonin (MT) delaying senescence blueberry fruit, this study treated fruits with sterile water (control) 300 μmol·L−1 MT during pink fruit stage. After maturation, were stored at 4 °C for 30 days, we investigated effects quality, reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism, antioxidant enzyme activities, expression related genes. The results showed that, compared control, effectively delayed increase decay rate decline firmness, enhancing total soluble solids (TSS) content ascorbic acid (AsA) levels. It also reduced accumulation malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), production superoxide anion (O2−), maintaining higher activities ascorbate peroxidase (APX), dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT). Furthermore, treatment upregulated enzyme-related genes VcSOD1, VcSOD2, VcAPX3. These findings indicate that treating stage improves alleviates oxidative damage, delays senescence. This provides a theoretical foundation practical reference preservation, laying groundwork understanding regulatory

Optimal Preharvest Melatonin Applications to Enhance Endogenous Melatonin Content, Harvest and Postharvest Quality of Japanese Plum

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(7), P. 1318 - 1318

Published: June 28, 2023

Plum is one of the most produced stone fruits worldwide. Melatonin an environmentally eco-friendly substance that, in low concentrations, activates defence systems against biotic and abiotic stresses. This considered a tool that could increase fruit quality. study aimed to evaluate impact different preharvest foliar applications with melatonin concentrations (0.1, 0.3, 0.5 mmol L−1) enhance content shelf life ‘Primetime’ plum. To this purpose, two three were carried out at critical stages growth. Different quality characteristics such as size, colour, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, ripening index, respiration rate, ethylene production anthocyanins antioxidant activity, well endogenous content, tested harvest after 40 days cold storage. Results showed plums received 3 L−1 enhanced less softening, delayed darkening, higher anthocyanin concentration activity Therefore, was effective improving plums.

Effect of preharvest melatonin applications at dusk on quality and bioactive compounds content of early sweet cherries

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 104(3), P. 1583 - 1590

Published: Oct. 11, 2023

Early sweet cherries have a high economic impact on cherry growers but poorer quality characteristics and shorter shelf-life than late cherries. Melatonin has been proposed as biostimulant that regulates plant fruit growth increases but, in general vegetables, there is controversy about its effects. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the of exogenous preharvest melatonin applications at dusk bioactive compounds two early cultivars.

Perimenopause (menopausal transition) is the period preceding end of menstrual cycle. Perimenopausal phase lasts an average 5 years, ranging from 2-8 while age menopause 45.5 (±5.5) years. Hormone fluctuations induce menopausal symptoms in women, variances progesterone and estrogen levels, sudden increase follicle stimulating hormone without apparent decline estradiol.

Screening of Physicochemical and Bioactive Traits of New Cherry Cultivars Obtained from the Cross of ‘Ambrunés’ × ‘Hudson’

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(11), P. 1938 - 1938

Published: Oct. 30, 2024

Although the cherry already has an excellent bioactive profile, implementation of breeding programs is a valuable tool to enhance it further. Thus, program was conducted on ‘Picota’ type cherries (the ‘Ambrunés’ cultivar, in particular) by crossing them with ‘Hudson’ primary aim obtaining new cultivars that overall quality traits parental cultivars, but above all increase concentration phenolic compounds, which are significant relevance human health, providing greater added value for consumer. The fruits obtained from were tested their physicochemical profiles, compounds and antioxidant activity. data statistically analyzed applying ANOVA hierarchical cluster analysis. After screening these data, three found maintain profile compound content could, therefore, be interesting used as parents cross-breeding.
