Copper (Cu) has been used as a feed additive for many years. However, high Cu amounts can cause oxidative stress and adversely affect animal performance. Such negative effects may depend on the amounts and forms of Cu. In the present study, the effects of inorganic Cu (CuSO₄) and organic Cu...

Intestinal injury is one of the main side-effects of cisplatin (CP) chemotherapy, severely limiting the clinical application of CP. Vitamin D₃ is an essential nutrient for mammals and exists in a wide range of foods; it regulates immune function and reduces oxidative stress. However, the effect of...

A polysaccharide fraction named ATFP was isolated and purified from Allium tenuissimum L. flowers. Its primary structure and therapeutic effects on mice with acute ulcerative colitis were investigated in the present study. The results showed that the molecular weight of ATFP was determined to be...

Background: The annual incidence of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) has been reported to vary from 0.2% to 11% in diabetes-specific clinical settings and less than 0.1% to 8% in community- and population-based cohorts. According to the International Diabetes Foundation, approximately 40 million to 60...

The food enzyme mucorpepsin (EC 3.4.23.23) is produced with the non-genetically modified Rhizomucor miehei strain DSM 29547 by Chr. Hansen. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in dairy processing for cheese production. The dietary exposure ...

In recent years, the safety of copper in drinking water has increasingly been questioned. Copper speciation is an important factor that affects its bioavailability and toxicity; thus, it is critical to investigate the speciation of copper that is ingested from food and drinking water during in...

Human milk lipids differ from the milk lipids of other mammals in composition and positional distribution of fatty acids. Analysis and detection technology of lipids is key to understanding milk lipids, and thus the concentrations, compositions and distribution characteristics of milk lipids are...

Umami, a taste sensation known for its savory and delicious properties, has garnered considerable attention from both consumers and the food industry. However, current understanding and evaluation of umami characteristics remain limited, presenting a long-standing issue. To address this challenge,...

Ni exposure leads to respiratory diseases in mice. Txnrd3 has been shown to have a protective effect on the body, but there is a paucity of empirical research focusing specifically on lung tissue. Melatonin possesses potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic effects. By regulating...

Diabetic liver injury is a complication of diabetes without any specific medicine approved for its effective treatment or prevention. In this research, the effect of camel whey protein (CWP) on diabetic liver injury in T2DM rats (T2DM induced by a high-fat diet) and streptozotocin along with its...
