Abstract
Introduction The study was aimed at evaluating the effects of areca nut extract (ANE) on the growth performance, cecal microbiota, and immunity of Wenchang chickens. Methods For this study, 42-day-old healthy Wenchang chickens (n = 450) with similar body weight were chosen. The animals were randomly divided into five groups, with six replicates per group and 15 chickens per replicate. One group was fed a basal diet (control; CCK). The remaining four groups were fed a basal diet supplemented with varying ANE concentrations: 0.038, 0.063, 0.100, and 0.151 g/kg, with the groups denoted as CNT1, CNT2, CNT3, and CNT4, respectively. The feeding experiment lasted 35 days. The ligated cecum segments of the control and experimental groups were collected for metabolomic and metagenomic analysis, while the bone marrow samples were extracted for tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomic analysis. Results All the experimental groups exhibited significantly higher average daily gain (ADG) and significantly lower feed-to-weight (F/G) ratios than CCK. Metabolomic screening of the cecum contents revealed the presence of 544 differential metabolites, including several gut health-related metabolites, such as xanthine, hydroxy hypoxanthine, 2,5-dimethylhydrazine, ganoderic acid, and 2-aminohexanoic acid. Metagenomic analysis of the cecum contents showed an upregulation in the abundance of Prevotella spp. in the experimental groups. However, we observed no significant differences in the abundances of other cecal microbes at phylum and genus levels. Furthermore, we observed significant associations between Prevotella spp. and the differentially abundant metabolites, such as cherubins, thiaburimamide, and 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine, (r)-mevalonate, 5-O-methylalloptaeroxylin, nalidixic acid, and deoxyloganin (p < 0.05). Proteomic analysis revealed that the differentially expressed proteins (such as interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 5 (IFIT5), MHC-BF1, and death domain-associated protein (Daxx)) in the bone marrow of the chickens were primarily enriched in the immune network for IgA production and B cell receptor signaling pathway. Conclusion In conclusion, dietary ANE supplementation was found to enhance metabolic activity and energy utilization, improve growth performance, modulate cecal microbiota, and strengthen the immunity of Wenchang chickens.

In Vitro and In Silico Activities of E. radiata and E. cinerea as an Enhancer of Antibacterial, Antioxidant, and Anti-Inflammatory Agents. Molecules 2023; 28:7153. [PMID: 37894631 PMCID: PMC10609132 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28207153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Eucalyptus, a therapeutic plant mentioned in the ancient Algerian pharmacopeia, specifically two species belonging to the Myrtaceae family, E. radiata and E. cinerea, were investigated in this study for their antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. The study used aqueous extracts (AE) obtained from these plants, and the extraction yields were found to be different. The in vitro antibacterial activity was evaluated using a disc diffusion assay against three typical bacterial strains. The results showed that the two extracts were effective against all three strains. Both extracts displayed significant antioxidant activity compared to BHT. The anti-inflammatory impact was evaluated using a protein (BSA) inhibition denaturation test. The E. radiata extract was found to inhibit inflammation by 85% at a concentration of 250 µg/mL, significantly higher than the Aspirin. All phytoconstituents present good pharmacokinetic characteristics without toxicity except very slight toxicity of terpineol and cineol and a maximum binding energy of -7.53 kcal/mol for its anti-TyrRS activity in silico. The study suggests that the extracts and their primary phytochemicals could enhance the efficacy of antibiotics, antioxidants, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). As pharmaceutical engineering experts, we believe this research contributes to developing natural-based drugs with potential therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
The Silk sericin protein was conjugated with magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles to form SS-MgO-NPs . UV, XRD, FTIR, SEM, DLS, and EDX were used to confirm the formation of SS-MgO-NPs. The absorption band of SS-MgO-NPs using UV-visible spectra was observed at 310 nm, with an average size of the nanoparticles was 65-88 nm analyzed from DLS. The presence of alcohol, CN, and CC, alkanes, alkenes, and cis alkenes, in silk sericin, is confirmed by FT-IR and may act as a stabilizing agent. Later SS-MgO-NPs were evaluated for antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-biofilm, ,anti-aging, and anticancer properties. The SS-MgO-NPs inhibited the formation of biofilm of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus cereus. The blood compatibility of SS-MgO-NPs, delaying coagulation was observed using human, blood, and goat blood samples. The SS-MgO-NPs exhibited significant anticancer activity on MCF-7 (IC50 207.6 μg/mL) cancer cell lines. Correspondingly, SS-MgO-NPs demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of the enzymes in the following order collagenase > elastase > tyrosinase > hyaluronidase, with IC50 values of 75.3, 85.3, 133.6, and 156.3 μgmL-1, respectively. This exhibits the compoundposses anti-aging properties. So, in in vitro settings, SS-MgO-NPs can be used as an antibacterial, anti-aging, and anticancer agent. Additionally, in vivo research is necessary to validate its therapeutic applications.

Front Nutr 2023; 9:1081351. [PMID: 36704798 PMCID: PMC9873385 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.1081351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Polyphenols play an important role in human nutrition, therefore, how to improve its content with innovative approach is important, and understanding the metabolic pathys is necessary. Mung beans are rich in polyphenols, which made them have physiological functions such as hypoglycemia, antioxidant, and hypotension. However, the content of polyphenols in natural mung bean is relatively low, and it needs to be increased. The methods of increasing polyphenol content in grains and beans by enrichment include physical stress, such as ultrasonic stress, hypoxia stress and ultraviolet radiation, and single exogenous substance stress, such as exogenous amino acids, exogenous sugars. But, the enrichment of polyphenols using exogenous substances in combination with physical stress is less applied. Therefore, this study innovated the use of exogenous γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) combined with ultrasonic stress to enrich mung bean sprouts polyphenols and enhance their content. The metabolic pathways of the enrichment process were also analyzed to provide a reference for studies related to the enrichment of polyphenols. Methods Mung bean seeds were pretreated with a combination of ultrasound and GABA under different conditions. Single-factor test and response surface methodology were used for optimizing pretreatment conditions of mung bean. Effects of combined pretreatments on the polyphenols content and antioxidant activity of sprouted mung beans were investigated. Additionally, metabolites were identified, and metabolic pathways were analyzed using non-targeted metabolomics techniques. Results Optimal conditions of mung bean pretreatment were found to be 370 W for ultrasound power, 40 min for ultrasonication time, 10 mmol/L for GABA concentration, and 8 h for the soaking duration. Under these conditions, the predicted polyphenol content was found to be 4.52 mg GAE/g DW. The pretreatment of mung beans with a combination of ultrasound and exogenous GABA resulted in mung bean sprouts with enhanced polyphenol content and antioxidant activity compared to mung beans germinated without pretreatment. A significant increase in the content of six polyphenols [Genistein, (-)-Epigallocatechin, Epicatechin, Nobiletin, Naringenin, Biochanin A] in the pretreated and germinated mung beans was found, and six metabolic pathways (flavonoid biosynthesis, isoflavones biosynthesis, biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids, anthocyanin biosynthesis, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and metabolic pathways) were significantly activated. Conclusion The obtained results suggest that a combination of ultrasound and exogenous GABA treatment can be used to produce mung bean sprouts with enriched polyphenols content and enhanced antioxidant activity.
