Cocoa diet and antibody immune response in preclinical studies
The ability of cocoa to interact with the immune system in vitro and in vivo has been described. In the latter context, a cocoa-enriched diet in healthy rats was able to modify the immune system's functionality. This fact ...
Preclinical immunomodulation by the probiotic Bifidobacterium breve M-16V in early life
This study aimed to investigate the effect of supplementation with the probiotic Bifidobacterium breve M-16V on the maturation of the intestinal and circulating immune system during suckling. In order to achieve this ...
Maslinic acid, a natural phytoalexin-type triterpene from olives - a promising nutraceutical?
Maslinic acid is a pentacyclic triterpene found in a variety of natural sources, ranging from herbal remedies used in traditional Asian medicine to edible vegetables and fruits present in the Mediterranean diet. In recent ...

Analysis of glycopeptide biomarkers by on-line TiO2 solid-phase extraction capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry
In this study is described an on-line titanium dioxide solid-phase extraction capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (TiO2-SPE-CE-MS) method for the analysis of the glycopeptide glycoforms obtained from the tryptic ...
Portable NIR spectroscopy to simultaneously trace honey botanical and geographicl origins and detect syrup adulteration.
Fraudulent practices concerning honey are growing fast and involve misrepresentation of origin and adulteration. Simple and feasible methods for honey authentication are needed to ascertain honey compliance and quality. ...
Accurate determination of the milk protein allergen β-lactoglobulin by on-line aptamer affinity solid-phase extraction capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry
An on-line aptamer affinity solid-phase extraction capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (AA-SPE-CE-MS) method was developed to purify, preconcentrate, separate, and characterize the milk allergenic protein β-lactoglobulin ...
Total polyphenol content in food samples and nutraceuticals: antioxidant indices versus high performance liquid chromatography
The total content of polyphenols and the antioxidant capacity have been estimated in various food and nutraceutical samples including cranberry, raspberry, artichoke, grapevine, green tea, coffee, turmeric, and other ...
On-line aptamer affinity solid-phase extraction direct mass spectrometry for the rapid analysis of α-synuclein in blood
On-line aptamer affinity solid-phase extraction direct mass spectrometry (AA-SPE-MS) is presented for the rapid purification, preconcentration, and characterization of α-synuclein (α-syn), which is a protein biomarker ...
Efficacy of Erwinia amylovora and Xanthomonas campestris pv campestris phages to control fire blight and black rot in vivo
Phytopathogens, such as Erwinia amylovora and Xanthomonas campestris, pose significant threats to agriculture, leading to substantial economic losses. Traditional chemical pesticides can harm soil fertility, contaminate ...

Developmental neurotoxicity of MDMA. A systematic literature review summarized in a putative adverse outcome pathway
The increasing use of illegal drugs by pregnant women causes a public health concern because it is associated with health risks for mothers and their developing children. One of such drugs is MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymeth ...
Effect of a cocoa diet on the small intestine and gut-associated lymphoid tissue composition in an oral sensitization model in rats
Previous studies have attributed to the cocoa powder the capacity to attenuate the immune response in a rat oral sensitization model. To gain a better understanding of cocoa-induced mechanisms at small intestinal level, ...
Untargeted HPLC-UV-FLD Fingerprinting for the Characterization, Classification, and Authentication of Tea
Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most popular beverages, commonly consumed all over the world. Depending on the fermentation process, tea leaves can be categorized into three major groups: unfermented green tea, ...
A review of sample preparation for purification of microRNAs and analysis by mass spectrometry methods
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in regulation of different bioprocesses, including multiple diseases, such as cancer, neurodegenerative and immune-related disorders. Analysis of miRNA biomarkers in biological ...
