Analysis of porcine adipose tissue transcriptome reveals differences in de novo fatty acid synthesis in pigs with divergent muscle fatty acid composition
(BMC, 2013-12-01)
Background: In pigs, adipose tissue is one of the principal organs involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism.
It is particularly involved in the overall fatty acid synthesis with consequences in ...
Nitrosyl-Heme and Heme Iron Intake from Processed Meats in Subjects from the EPIC-Spain Cohort
(MDPI, 2024-03-18)
Background: The consumption of processed and red meats is linked to the likelihood of developing colorectal cancer. Various theories have been proposed to explain this connection, focusing on nitrosyl-heme ...
Linking sensory and proton transfer reaction–mass spectrometry analyses for the assessment of melon fruit (Cucumis melo L.) quality traits
(Springer, 2020-05-05)
Sixty-seven samples of ten melon types (Cucumis melo L.) were evaluated to determine the relationship between their quality traits: sensory attributes, pH, soluble solids, and volatile organic compounds. ...
Effect of ultrasound processing on the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of selected vegetables
(Springer, 2019-05-09)
Ultrasound processing can result in cell wall disruption, facilitating the release of the cellular content. Therefore, we hypothesized that sonication of vegetables could be used as a pre-treatment to ...
