The EAT-Lancet Commission's planetary health guidelines suggest a reduction in the consumption of animal-source foods (ASFs) for better health and more sustainable food systems. ASFs are highly nutrient dense, therefore suited to address the widespread issue of micronutrient deficiencies,...

The main etiological mechanism for Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is deep chondrocyte necrosis induced by environmental risk factors (ERFs). The scholars have conducted several epidemiological, cellular, and animal model studies on ERFs. Gradually, four etiological hypotheses have been formed, including ...

The in vivo digestion and absorption characteristics of reduced-sodium meat products are a problem that deserves attention in the field of meat science and technology. In this study, an animal model was used to investigate the in vivo digestive characteristics of high hydrostatic pressure treated...

The aim of this review is to describe the therapeutic effect of thymol on various human diseases, followed by its bioavailability in humans and animals. Based on our knowledge from the current literature, after thymol addition, thymol metabolites-mostly thymol sulphate and glucuronide-are detected...

Bile acids exist in many forms in the body as the principal constituent of bile. With the in-depth study of bile acids, scholars have found that bile acids are an important signal molecule in the body, which mediate bile acid receptors and exert corresponding biological effects. Enterohepatic...

This integrative study of transcriptomics and metabolomics aimed to improve our understanding of Wooden Breast myopathy (WB). Breast muscle samples from 8 WB affected and 8 unaffected male broiler chickens of 47 days of age were harvested for metabolite profiling. Among these 16 samples, 5 affected ...

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the inclusion of discarded red bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) meal on performance and egg quality of laying hens. A total of 80 hens of the Hy-Line White® genetic line were randomly distributed for 10 weeks in two treatments, eight replicates per treatment...

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that influences gene transcription; however, the effects of methylation-influencing chemicals on appetite are unknown. We evaluated the effects of single administration of a methyl donor, S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM), or methylation inhibitor,...

Ferulic acid (FA) is a phenolic acid found within the plant cell wall that has physiological benefits as an antioxidant. Although metabolic benefits of FA supplementation are described, lacking are reports of effects on appetite regulation. Thus, our objective was to determine if FA affects food or ...
