Cell culture media design is perhaps the most significant hurdle currently facing the commercialization of cultivated meat as an alternative source of dietary protein. Since media optimization for a specific culture system requires a significant amount of effort and investment, a major question...

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...

High-fibre diets are beneficial for many health outcomes via a wide range of mechanisms including gut microbiota fermentation-derived short-chain fatty acid (SCFAs) production. Mycoprotein (marketed as Quorn) is a food high in fibre (>6 g/100 g wet weight (ww)) and protein (13 g/100 g ww) which...

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...

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with unclear pathogenesis, and its incidence is increasing gradually. Recently, with the popularization of the concept of healthy diet, reducing the risk of ulcerative colitis through dietary intervention has become increasingly popular. In ...

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...

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for the body. Various organs of the body, including the intestine, are affected by its deficiency. Se deficiency can induce oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in the intestine. It can also increase intestinal permeability and decrease intestinal...
