Extraction optimization, characterization and antioxidant activity in vitro of polysaccharides from mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaves.

Carbohydr. Polym. 128 , 52-62, (2015)

Extraction optimization, characterization and antioxidant activity in vitro of polysaccharides from mulberry leaves (MLP) were investigated in the present study. The optimal extraction conditions with an extraction yield of 10.0 ± 0.5% for MLP were determined...

Modulation of biomechanical properties of hyaluronic acid hydrogels by crosslinking agents.

J. Biomed. Mater. Res. A 103 , 3072-80, (2015)

Modulation of both mechanical properties and biocompatibilities of hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels is very importance for their applications in biomaterials. Pure HA solution was converted into a hydrogel by using butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) as a crossl...

GlxA is a new structural member of the radical copper oxidase family and is required for glycan deposition at hyphal tips and morphogenesis of Streptomyces lividans.

Biochem. J. 469 , 433-44, (2015)

Streptomyces lividans displays a distinct dependence on copper to fully initiate morphological development. Evidence has accumulated to implicate the participation of an extracytoplasmic cuproenzyme in morphogenesis. In the present study, we show that GlxA fu...

Characterization and hepatoprotective effect of polysaccharides from Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa (Bunge) Hu ex H. F. Chou sarcocarp.

Food Chem. Toxicol. 74 , 76-84, (2014)

The polysaccharides from Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa (Bunge) Hu ex H. F. Chou sarcocarp (PWJS) is evaluated for the chemical composition, antioxidant activity and hepatoprotective effect. The characteristics of PWJS were determined by FT-IR spectral an...

Glycan complexity dictates microbial resource allocation in the large intestine.

Nat. Commun. 6 , 7481, (2015)

The structure of the human gut microbiota is controlled primarily through the degradation of complex dietary carbohydrates, but the extent to which carbohydrate breakdown products are shared between members of the microbiota is unclear. We show here, using xy...

Use of Commercial Dry Yeast Products Rich in Mannoproteins for White and Rosé Sparkling Wine Elaboration.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 63 , 5670-81, (2015)

In sparkling wines, mannoproteins released during yeast autolysis largely affect their final quality. This process is very slow and may take several months. The aim of this work was to study the effect of several commercial dry yeast autolysates on the chemic...

Antioxidant and antitumor effects of polysaccharides from the fungus Pleurotus abalonus.

Chem. Biol. Interact. 237 , 166-74, (2015)

Dietary supplement of edible Pleurotus abalonus (P. abalonus) rich in fungal polysaccharides is associated with anticancer health benefit. We here isolated the polysaccharides (PAP) from the fruiting bodies of P. abalonus, and evaluated the antiproliferative ...

Triterpene glycosides and other polar constituents of shea (Vitellaria paradoxa) kernels and their bioactivities.

Phytochemistry 108 , 157-70, (2014)

The MeOH extract of defatted shea (Vitellaria paradoxa; Sapotaceae) kernels was investigated for its constituents, and fifteen oleanane-type triterpene acids and glycosides, two steroid glucosides, two pentane-2,4-diol glucosides, seven phenolic compounds, an...

Inhibition screening method of microsomal UGTs using the cocktail approach.

Eur. J. Pharm. Sci. 71 , 35-45, (2015)

A rapid method for the simultaneous determination of the in vitro activity of the 10 major human liver UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes was developed based on the cocktail approach. Specific substrates were first selected for each UGT: etoposide for ...

Qualitative and quantitative determination of peptides related to celiac disease in mixtures derived from different methods of simulated gastrointestinal digestion of wheat products.

Anal. Bioanal. Chem 406(19) , 4765-75, (2014)

During wheat digestion, gluten-derived proteolytic resistant peptides are generated, some of them involved in celiac disease. In vitro digestion models able to mimic the peptides generated in the human gastrointestinal tract are extremely useful to assess the...
