Upcycling brewers’ spent grain (BSG) into poultry feed needs to be optimized. Since broiler chickens inefficiently digest fiber, we created a water-soluble BSG extract (BSGE) explore this fraction’s potential nutritional benefits. We utilized intra-amniotic administration (in ovo) target the gastrointestinal tract of embryos. BSGE increased villus surface area and goblet cell quantity size, implying improved duodenal development. The also changed cecal Escherichia coli (E. coli) Clostridium abundances. Synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy, along with zinc iron transporter relative expression, did not reveal significant changes by BSGE. These findings highlight for functional component, underscoring value upcycling byproduct. This pilot study supports future work exploring impact within its effects over long-term consumption.

Background. Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint diseases worldwide. The search for effective treatment regimens to reduce symptoms and improve function essential. purpose was compare effectiveness different bioactive marine fish concentrate (BMFC) in knee OA with oral glucosamine sulfate (GS) chondroitin (CS). Materials methods. study involved 60 patients stage II OA. were divided into three groups: first group received 1 ml BMFC daily (20 injections), second 2 every other day (10 third GS CS tablet form. Clinical efficacy assessed using WOMAC scale on days 3, 7, 14, 21. Results. In that daily, pain decreased by 41.4 % 7 58.7 Joint stiffness 51.9 %, range motion increased 51.3 %. receiving day, reduction 37.1 55.7 49.2 improved 46.0 end treatment. Both groups demonstrated similar efficacy. Patients showed less pronounced improvements. Conclusions. Injectable higher treating compared CS. ­BMFC administration (daily day) proved reducing pain, alleviating stiffness, improving functional capacity. every-other-day regimen achieved comparable fewer injections, enhancing convenience adherence therapy.

Proanthocyanidins (PACs), the predominant constituents within Grape Seed Extract (GSE), are intricate compounds composed of interconnected flavan-3-ol units. Renowned for their health-affirming properties, PACs offer a shield against spectrum inflammation associated diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, degenerations and possibly cancer. While monomeric dimeric undergo some absorption gastrointestinal tract, larger oligomeric polymeric counterparts not bioavailable. However, higher molecular weight engage with colonic microbiota, fostering production bioavailable metabolites that metabolic processes, culminating in emergence bioactive agents capable modulating physiological processes. Within this investigation, GSE enriched was employed to explore detail impact. Through comprehensive analysis, present study unequivocally verified gastrointestinal-mediated transformation medium high PACs, thereby establishing bioaccessibility principal catabolite termed 5-(3′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl)-γ-valerolactone (VL). Notably, our findings, encompassing cell biology, chemistry proteomics, converge proposal notion capacity VL activate, upon oxidation corresponding quinone, nuclear factor E2-related 2 (Nrf2) pathway—an process incites cellular defenses mitigates stress-induced responses, challenge brought by TNFα. This mechanistic paradigm seamlessly aligns concept para-hormesis, ultimately orchestrating resilience stress preservation redox equilibrium homeostasis benchmarks health.

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), a disorder of the synovium, subchondral bone, and cartilage that affects entire joint, constitutes approximately 12% all cases symptomatic osteoarthritis. This review summarizes pathogenetic mechanisms underlie positive influence chondroitin sulphates (CSs) on PTOA as means preventive therapeutic treatment. Mechanisms development involve chondrocytes undergoing various forms cell death (apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis and/or necrosis). Chondroitin are class glycosaminoglycans improve structure function which is associated with their ability to decrease activation NF-κB p38 MAPK, up-regulate Nrf2. Standardized small fish extract (SSFE) an example drugs can attenuate NF-κB-mediated systemic inflammation, potentially helping reduce joint inflammation degradation, function, alleviate pain disability in patients these conditions.

Oxidative Stress in Pediatric Asthma: Sources, Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Potential of Antioxidants

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 30(2)

Опубликована: Фев. 19, 2025

Pediatric asthma is a common respiratory condition in children, characterized by complex interplay of environmental and genetic factors. Evidence shows that the airways stimulated asthmatic patients have increased oxidative stress, but exact mechanisms through which this stress contributes to progression are not fully understood. Oxidative originates from inflammatory cells airways, producing significant amounts reactive oxygen species (ROS) nitrogen (RNS). External factors such as cigarette smoke, particulate matter, atmospheric pollutants also contribute ROS RNS levels. The accumulation these disrupts cellular redox balance, leading heightened activates signaling pathways modulates release factors, worsening inflammation. Therefore, understanding sources impacts pediatric crucial developing antioxidant-based treatments. This review examines children with asthma, role development, potential antioxidants therapeutic strategy for asthma.
