Abstract
BACKGROUND IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy (IgE-CMA) is one of the first allergies to arise in early childhood and may result from exposure to various milk allergens, of which β-lactoglobulin (BLG) and casein are the most important. Understanding the underlying mechanisms behind IgE-CMA is imperative for the discovery of novel biomarkers and the design of innovative treatment and prevention strategies. METHODS We report a longitudinal in vivo murine model, in which two mice strains (BALB/c and C57Bl/6) were sensitized to BLG using either cholera toxin or an oil emulsion (n = 6 per group). After sensitization, mice were challenged orally, their clinical signs monitored, antibody (IgE and IgG1) and cytokine levels (IL-4 and IFN-γ) measured, and fecal samples subjected to metabolomics. The results of the murine models were further extrapolated to fecal microbiome-metabolome data from our population of IgE-CMA (n = 22) and healthy (n = 23) children (Trial: NCT04249973), on which polar metabolomics, lipidomics and 16S rRNA metasequencing were performed. In vitro gastrointestinal digestions and multi-omics corroborated the microbial origin of proposed metabolic changes. RESULTS During mice sensitization, we observed multiple microbially derived metabolic alterations, most importantly bile acid, energy and tryptophan metabolites, that preceded allergic inflammation. We confirmed microbial dysbiosis, and its associated effect on metabolic alterations in our patient cohort, through in vitro digestions and multi-omics, which was accompanied by metabolic signatures of low-grade inflammation. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that gut dysbiosis precedes allergic inflammation and nurtures a chronic low-grade inflammation in children on elimination diets, opening important new opportunities for future prevention and treatment strategies.

Nutritional Characterization of Chilean Landraces of Common Bean. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:817. [PMID: 38592828 PMCID: PMC10974410 DOI: 10.3390/plants13060817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the primary grain legume cultivated worldwide for direct human consumption due to the high nutritional value of its seeds and pods. The high protein content of common beans highlights it as the most promising source of plant-based protein for the food industry. Additionally, landraces of common bean have great variability in nutritional traits, which is necessary to increase the nutritional quality of elite varieties. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to nutritionally characterize 23 Chilean landraces and 5 commercial varieties of common bean to identify genotypes with high nutritional value that are promising for the food industry and for genetic improvement programs. The landrace Phv23 ('Palo') was the most outstanding with high concentrations of minerals such as P (7.53 g/kg), K (19.8 g/kg), Mg (2.43 g/kg), Zn (52.67 mg/kg), and Cu (13.67 mg/kg); essential amino acids (364.8 mg/g protein); and total proteins (30.35 g/100 g seed). Additionally, the landraces Phv9 ('Cimarrón'), Phv17 ('Juanita'), Phv3 ('Araucano'), Phv8 ('Cabrita/Señorita'), and Phv4 ('Arroz') had a high protein content. The landrace Phv24 ('Peumo') stood out for its phenolic compounds (TPC = 218.1 mg GA/100 g seed) and antioxidant activity (ORAC = 22,167.9 μmol eq trolox/100 g extract), but it has moderate to low mineral and protein concentrations. In general, the concentration of nutritional compounds in some Chilean landraces was significantly different from the commercial varieties, highlighting their high nutritional value and their potential use for the food industry and for genetic improvement purposes.

Abstract
Tryptophan metabolism plays an essential role in human health. In mammals, about 95% of dietary tryptophan is metabolized through the kynurenine pathway, which is associated with the development of several pathologies, including neurodegeneration. Some of the kynurenine pathway metabolites are agonists of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor involved in metabolic functions, inflammation, and carcinogenesis. Thus, their origins, fates, and roles are of widespread interest. Except for being produced endogenously, these metabolites can originate from exogenous sources (e.g., food) and undergo absorption in the digestive tract. Recently, a special focus on exogenous sources of tryptophan metabolites was observed. This overview summarizes current knowledge about the occurrence of the kynurenine pathway metabolites (kynurenines) in food and the analytical method utilized for their determination in different food matrices. Special attention was paid to sample preparation and chromatographic analysis, which has proven to be a core technique for the detection and quantification of kynurenines. A discussion of the fate and role of dietary kynurenines has also been addressed. This review will, hopefully, guide further studies on the impact of dietary kynurenines on human health.

Abstract
Meat quality seems to be influenced by the dietary regimes applied for animal feeding. Several research studies are aimed at improving meat quality, preserving it from oxidative processes, by the incorporation of antioxidant components in animal feeding. The main part of these studies evaluates meat quality, determining different parameters directly on meat, while few research studies take into account what may happen after meat ingestion. To address this topic, in this study, an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion protocol was applied to two different pork muscles, longissimus dorsi and rectus femoris, obtained from pigs fed with different diets. In detail, two groups of 12 animals each were subjected to either a conventional diet or a supplemented diet with extruded linseeds as a source of omega-3 fatty acids and plant extracts as a source of phenolics antioxidant compounds. The digested meat was subjected to an untargeted metabolomics approach. Several metabolites deriving from lipid and protein digestion were detected. Our untargeted approach allowed for discriminating the two different meat cuts, based on their metabolomic profiles. Nonetheless, multivariate statistics allowed clearly discriminating between samples obtained from different animal diets. In particular, the inclusion of linseeds and polyphenols in the animal diet led to a decrease in metabolites generated from oxidative degradation reactions, in comparison to the conventional diet group. In the latter, fatty acyls, fatty aldehydes and oxylipins, as well as cholesterol and vitamin D3 precursors and derivatives, could be highlighted.

Abstract
Palm oil is a vegetable oil that is widely used for cooking and deep-frying because of its affordability. However, repeatedly heated palm oil is also prone to oxidation due to its significant content of unsaturated fatty acids and other chemical toxicants such as glycidyl esters and 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD). Initially, the physicochemical properties such as colour, viscosity, peroxide, p-anisidine and total oxidation (TOTOX) of periodically heated palm oil were investigated. Chemical profiling and fingerprinting of six different brands of palm cooking oil during heating cycles between 90 and 360 min were conducted using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) metabolomics. In addition, the multivariate analysis was employed to evaluate the 1H NMR spectroscopic pattern of repeatedly heated palm oil with the corresponding physicochemical properties. The FTIR metabolomics showed significant different of the chemical fingerprinting subjected to heating duration, which in agreement with the result of 1H NMR metabolomics. Partial least squares (PLS) model revealed that most of the physicochemical properties of periodically heated palm oil are positively correlated (R2 values of 0.98-0.99) to their spectroscopic pattern. Based on the findings, the color of the oils darkened with increased heating time. The peroxide value (PV), p-anisidine value (p-AnV), and total oxidation (TOTOX) values increased significantly due to degradation of unsaturated compounds and oxidation products formed. We identified targeted metabolites (probable carcinogens) such as 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) and glycidyl ester (GE), indicating the conversion of 3-MCPD to GE in repeatedly heated oils based on PCA and OPLSDA models. Our correlation analysis of NMR and physicochemical properties has shown that the conversion of 3-MCPD to GE was significantly increased from 180 to 360 min cooking time. The combination spectroscopic techniques with physicochemical properties are a reliable and robust methods to evaluate the characteristics, stability and chemical's structure changes of periodically heated palm oil, which may contribute to probable carcinogens development. This study has proven that combination of NMR and physicochemical analysis may predict the formation of the probable carcinogens of heated cooking oil over time which emphasizing the need to avoid certain heating cycles to mitigate formation of probable carcinogens during cooking process.

Abstract
Protein and amino acid oxidation in food products produce many new compounds, of which the reactive and toxic compound dityrosine, derived from oxidized tyrosine, is the most widely studied. The high reactivity of dityrosine enables this compound to induce oxidative stress and disrupt thyroid hormone function, contributing to the pathological processes of several diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cognitive dysfunction, aging, and age-related diseases. From the perspective of food safety and human health, protein-oxidation products in food are the main concern of consumers, health management departments, and the food industry. This review highlights the latest research on the formation pathways, toxicity, detection methods, occurrence in food, and mitigation strategies for dityrosine. Furthermore, the control of dityrosine in family cooking and food-processing industry has been discussed. Food-derived dityrosine primarily originates from high-protein foods, such as meat and dairy products. Considering its toxicity, combining rapid high sensitivity dityrosine detection techniques with feasible control methods could be an effective strategy to ensure food safety and maintain human health. However, the current dityrosine detection and mitigation strategies exhibit some inherent characteristics and limitations. Therefore, developing technologies for rapid and effective dityrosine detection and control at the industrial level is necessary.

Glucose boosts protein oxidation/nitration during simulated gastric digestion of myofibrillar proteins by creating a severe pro-oxidative environment. Food Chem 2022; 397:133805.

Abstract
The severe pro-oxidative environment in the stomach promotes oxidation of dietary components. The pro-oxidant molecular mechanisms of reducing sugars on this environment are unknown. To investigate the mechanisms involved in protein oxidation and nitration during a simulated gastric digestion (porcine pepsin, 37 °C, 2 h) of meat proteins, these were exposed to several dietary reactive components namely myoglobin, glucose, glyoxal, myoglobin + glucose and myoglobin + glyoxal. Two versions of each experimental unit were prepared depending on the addition or absence of nitrite. Compared to control (only meat proteins), myoglobin + glucose showed the highest pro-oxidative and pro-nitrosative effect (p < 0.001), likely caused by an increase in ROS derived from the degradation of glucose during assay. Nitrite promoted the occurrence of protein nitration but decreased protein oxidation in myoglobin-added groups (p < 0.001) by, plausibly, stabilizing heme iron. These results indicate the relevant role of glyco-oxidation during digestion of red meat with other dietary components such as reducing sugars.

Abstract
SCOPE The consumption of processed meat is associated with increased risk of chronic diseases, but determining how the exposure to specific cooking processes alters the metabolome is an analytical challenge. This study aims to evaluate the impact of four typical cooking methods for beef (boiling, barbecuing, grilling, and roasting) on the urinary metabolite profiles in rats, using a non-targeted approach. METHODS AND RESULTS Male Wistar rats (n = 48) are fed for 3 weeks with experimental diets containing either raw or cooked (boiled, barbecued, grilled, and roasted) beef. A control group is fed with milk proteins. The 24 h-urines are analyzed using LC-MS. The consumption of boiled meat leads to the specific excretion of di- and tri-peptides (aspartyl-leucine, glycyl-aspartate, and aspartyl-prolyl-threonine) and a cyclo-prolyl-proline (p < 0.001). No singular metabolite specifically associated with the groups "grilled," "roasted," and "barbecued" meat is observed. CONCLUSION Urinary metabolite profiles of rats fed boiled beef are clearly distinct from those of rats fed with raw, grilled, roasted, or barbecued beef. The specific metabolites include the products of non-digested proteins and may be useful as potential intake biomarkers of this meat cooking method.

Abstract
FLEXiGUT is the first large-scale exposomics study focused on chronic low-grade inflammation. It aims to characterize human life course environmental exposure to assess and validate its impact on gut inflammation and related biological processes and diseases. The cumulative influences of environmental and food contaminants throughout the lifespan on certain biological responses related to chronic gut inflammation will be investigated in two Flemish prospective cohorts, namely the "ENVIRONAGE birth cohort", which provides follow-up from gestation to early childhood, and the "Flemish Gut Flora Project longitudinal cohort", a cohort of adults. The exposome will be characterised through biomonitoring of legacy and emerging contaminants, mycotoxins and markers of air pollution, by analysing the available metadata on nutrition, location and activity, and by applying state-of-the-art -omics techniques, including metagenomics, metabolomics and DNA adductomics, as well as the assessment of telomere length and measurement of inflammatory markers, to encompass both exposure and effect. Associations between exposures and health outcomes will be uncovered using an integrated -omics data analysis framework comprising data exploration, pre-processing, dimensionality reduction and data mining, combined with machine learning-based pathway analysis approaches. This is expected to lead to a more profound insight in mechanisms underlying disease progression (e.g. metabolic disorders, food allergies, gastrointestinal cancers) and/or accelerated biological ageing.

Abstract
Background: Cisplatin, a chemotherapy used to treat solid tumors, causes acute kidney injury (AKI), a known risk factor for chronic kidney disease and mortality. AKI diagnosis relies on biomarkers which are only measurable after kidney damage has occurred and functional impairment is apparent; this prevents timely AKI diagnosis and treatment. Metabolomics seeks to identify metabolite patterns involved in cell tissue metabolism related to disease or patient factors. The A Canadian study of Cisplatin mEtabolomics and NephroToxicity (ACCENT) team was established to harness the power of metabolomics to identify novel biomarkers that predict risk and discriminate for presence of cisplatin nephrotoxicity, so that early intervention strategies to mitigate onset and severity of AKI can be implemented. Objective: Describe the design and methods of the ACCENT study which aims to identify and validate metabolomic profiles in urine and serum associated with risk for cisplatin-mediated nephrotoxicity in children and adults. Design: Observational prospective cohort study. Setting: Six Canadian oncology centers (3 pediatric, 1 adult and 2 both). Patients: Three hundred adults and 300 children planned to receive cisplatin therapy. Measurements: During two cisplatin infusion cycles, serum and urine will be measured for creatinine and electrolytes to ascertain AKI. Many patient and disease variables will be collected prospectively at baseline and throughout therapy. Metabolomic analyses of serum and urine will be done using mass spectrometry. An untargeted metabolomics approach will be used to analyze serum and urine samples before and after cisplatin infusions to identify candidate biomarkers of cisplatin AKI. Candidate metabolites will be validated using an independent cohort. Methods: Patients will be recruited before their first cycle of cisplatin. Blood and urine will be collected at specified time points before and after cisplatin during the first infusion and an infusion later during cancer treatment. The primary outcome is AKI, defined using a traditional serum creatinine-based definition and an electrolyte abnormality-based definition. Chart review 3 months after cisplatin therapy end will be conducted to document kidney health and survival. Limitations: It may not be possible to adjust for all measured and unmeasured confounders when evaluating prediction of AKI using metabolite profiles. Collection of data across multiple sites will be a challenge. Conclusions: ACCENT is the largest study of children and adults treated with cisplatin and aims to reimagine the current model for AKI diagnoses using metabolomics. The identification of biomarkers predicting and detecting AKI in children and adults treated with cisplatin can greatly inform future clinical investigations and practices.

Abstract
SCOPE Recent studies have linked high consumption of red and processed meats to an increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cooking-induced oxidation of proteins and amino acids might be contributing factors. Herein, this study investigates the influence of oxidized pork and the protein oxidation biomarker dityrosine (Dityr) on hepatic steatosis in mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Low- and high-oxidative injury pork (LOP and HOP) are freeze-dried to prepare mouse diets. Mice are fed a diet of either the control, LOP, HOP, LOP+Dityr, or Dityr for 12 weeks. HOP and Dityr intake induced oxidative stress and inflammation that impaired thyroid function and peripheral metabolism (reduced type 1 deiodinase activity) of thyroid hormones (THs). These lead to a decrease in the circulating as well as liver THs and induced hepatic steatosis. This process might be regulated through reduced TH levels and altered TH target genes and proteins related to hepatic lipid metabolism that ultimately inhibited hepatic energy metabolism, as indicated by increased hepatic lipid synthesis, decreased hepatic lipid catabolism, and fatty acid oxidation. CONCLUSION HOP intake could induce hepatic steatosis by impairing TH function. Dityr plays an important role in the HOP-induced harmful effects.

Abstract
To identify candidate bacteria associated with aging, we performed fecal microbiota sequencing in young, middle-aged and older adults, and found lower Bifidobacterium adolescentis abundance in older individuals aged ≥60 years. Dietary supplementation of B. adolescentis improved osteoporosis and neurodegeneration in a mouse model of premature aging (Terc-/-) and increased healthspan and lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans. B. adolescentis supplementation increased the activity of the catalase (CAT) enzyme in skeletal muscle and brain tissue from Terc-/- mice, and suppressed cellular senescence in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Transgenic deletion of catalase (ctl-2) in C. elegans abolished the effects of B. adolescentis on the lifespan and healthspan. B. adolescentis feeding also led to changes in oxidative stress-associated metabolites in Terc-/- mouse feces. These results suggest a role for B. adolescentis in improving the healthspan and lifespan through the regulation of CAT activity and host metabolism.

Abstract
Endogenous metabolites are a class of molecules playing diverse and significant roles in many metabolic pathways for disease. Honokiol (HNK), an active poly-phenolic compound, has shown potent anticancer activities. However, the detailed crucial mechanism regulated by HNK in colorectal cancer remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the therapeutic effects and the underlying molecular mechanisms of HNK on colorectal cancer in a mouse model (ApcMin/+) by analyzing the urine metabolic profile based on metabolomics, which is a powerful tool for characterizing metabolic disturbances. We found that potential urine biomarkers were involved in the metabolism of compounds such as purines, tyrosines, tryptophans, etc. Moreover, we showed that a total of 27 metabolites were the most contribution biomarkers for intestinal tumors, and we found that the citrate cycle (TCA cycle) was regulated by HNK. In addition, it was suggested that the efficacy of HNK was achieved by affecting the multi-pathway system via influencing relevant metabolic pathways and regulating metabolic function. Our work also showed that high-throughput metabolomics can characterize the regulation of metabolic disorders as a therapeutic strategy to prevent colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most lethal disease worldwide. Despite an urgent need for therapeutic advance, selective target identification in a preclinical phase is hampered by molecular and metabolic variations between cellular models. To foster optimal model selection from a translational perspective, we performed untargeted ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry-based polar metabolomics and lipidomics to non-transformed (CCD841-CON and FHC) and transformed (HCT116, HT29, Caco2, SW480 and SW948) colon cell lines as well as tissue samples from ten colorectal cancer patients. This unveiled metabolic signatures discriminating the transformed from the non-transformed state. Metabolites involved in glutaminolysis, tryptophan catabolism, pyrimidine, lipid and carnitine synthesis were elevated in transformed cells and cancerous tissue, whereas those involved in the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle, urea cycle and redox reactions were lowered. The degree of glutaminolysis and lipid synthesis was specific to the colon cancer cell line at hand. Thus, our study exposed pathways that are specifically associated with the transformation state and revealed differences between colon cancer cell lines that should be considered when targeting cancer-associated pathways.

Abstract
Pseudomonas fluorescens is a psychrotrophic species associated with milk spoilage because of its lipolytic and proteolytic activities. Consequently, monitoring P. fluorescens or its antecedent activity in milk is critical to preventing quality defects of the product and minimizing food waste. Therefore, in this study, untargeted metabolomics and peptidomics were used to identify the changes in milk related to P. fluorescens activity by simulating the low-temperature conditions usually found in milk during the cold chain. Both unsupervised and supervised multivariate statistical approaches showed a clear effect caused by the P. fluorescens inoculation on milk samples. Our results showed that the levels of phosphatidylglycerophosphates and glycerophospholipids were directly related to the level of contamination. In addition, our metabolomic approach allowed us to detect lipid and protein degradation products that were directly correlated with the degradative metabolism of P. fluorescens. Peptidomics corroborated the proteolytic propensity of P. fluorescens-contaminated milk, but with lower sensitivity. The results obtained from this study provide insights into the alterations related to P. fluorescens 39 contamination, both pre and post heat treatment. This approach could represent a potential tool to retrospectively understand the actual quality of milk under cold chain storage conditions, either before or after heat treatments.

[PMID: 34066686 PMCID: PMC8150382 DOI: 10.3390/ani11051335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Revised: 04/21/2021] [Accepted: 04/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The probiotic Bacillus subtilis strain 29784 (Bs29784) has been shown to improve performance in broilers. In this study, we used a metabolomic and 16S rRNA gene sequencing approach to evaluate effects of Bs29874 in the broiler intestine. Nicotinic acid and hypoxanthine were key metabolites that were produced by the strain in vitro and were also found in vivo to be increased in small intestinal content of broilers fed Bs29784 as dietary additive. Both metabolites have well-described anti-inflammatory effects in the intestine. Furthermore, Bs29784 supplementation to the feed significantly altered the ileal microbiome of 13-day-old broilers, thereby increasing the abundance of genus Bacillus, while decreasing genera and OTUs belonging to the Lactobacillaceae and Enterobacteriacae families. Moreover, Bs29784 did not change the cecal microbial community structure, but specifically enriched members of the family Clostridiales VadinBB60, as well as the butyrate-producing families Ruminococcaceae and Lachnospiraceae. The abundance of various OTUs and genera belonging to these families was significantly associated with nicotinic acid levels in the cecum, suggesting a possible cross-feeding between B. subtilis strain 29784 and these beneficial microbes. Taken together, the data indicate that Bs29784 exerts its described probiotic effects through a combined action of its metabolites on both the host and its microbiome.

Abstract
SCOPE The consumption of red and processed meat, and not white meat, associates with the development of various Western diseases such as colorectal cancer and type 2 diabetes. This work aims at unraveling novel meat-associated mechanisms that are involved in disease development. METHODS AND RESULTS A non-hypothesis driven strategy of untargeted metabolomics is applied to assess colon tissue from rats (fed a high dose of beef vs. white meat) and from pigs (fed red/processed meat vs. white meat), receiving a realistic human background diet. An increased carnitine metabolism is observed, which is reflected by higher levels of acylcarnitines and 3-dehydroxycarnitine (rats and pigs) and trimethylamine-N-oxide (rats). While 3-dehydroxycarnitine is higher in HT29 cells, incubated with colonic beef digests, acylcarnitine levels are reduced. This suggests an altered response from colon cancer cell line towards meat-induced oxidative stress. Moreover, metabolic differences between rat and pigs are observed in N-glycolylneuraminic acid incorporation, prostaglandin, and fatty acid synthesis. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates elevated (acyl)carnitine metabolism in colon tissue of animals that follow a red meat-based diet, providing mechanistic insights that may aid in explaining the nutritional-physiological correlation between red/processed meat and Western diseases.

The combined effect of fermentation of lactic acid bacteria and in vitro digestion on metabolomic and oligosaccharide profile of oat beverage. Food Res Int 2021; 142:110216.

Abstract
Oat (Avena sativa L.) is widely appreciated for its beneficial properties for human health, which have led to the introduction of more food products on the market, including oat beverages. The fibre components found in the oat are recognized for their beneficial effects, despite other bioactive compounds with healthy properties being present. This work aimed to evaluate the metabolites profile of a commercial oat beverage, either fermented with lactic bacteria or not, following in vitro gastro-intestinal digestion. UHPLC-QTOF untargeted metabolomics allowed investigation of the bioaccessibility of health-related metabolites from the oat beverage at the intestinal level. The results identified flavonoids, phenolic acids (avenanthramides), amino acids and steroids as the major classes of compounds. In particular, after in vitro digestion, amino acids, peptides, and phenolic acids showed the highest increases. The co-fermentation of oat milk by Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp. strains decreased the levels of both lignans and phytic acid, while increased the levels of some polyphenols like avenanthramides. Furthermore, fermentation by microorganisms increased the bioaccessibility of specific amino acids, vitamins, and polyphenols (flavonoids and phenolic acids). Interestingly, despite lacking a significant part of beta-glucans, the HPAEC-PAD profiling of our oat beverage evidenced that the fermentation process did not alter the oligosaccharides profile, thus preserving its prebiotic potential. The phytochemical profile of oat milk was shown to have a functional potential. Nonetheless, the fermentation by bacterial strains changed the profile of metabolites during in vitro digestion, thus offering an interesting option in the future development of cereal-based beverages.

A Combined Metabolomic and Metagenomic Approach to Discriminate Raw Milk for the Production of Hard Cheese. Foods 2021; 10:foods10010109.

Abstract
The chemical composition of milk can be significantly affected by different factors across the dairy supply chain, including primary production practices. Among the latter, the feeding system could drive the nutritional value and technological properties of milk and dairy products. Therefore, in this work, a combined foodomics approach based on both untargeted metabolomics and metagenomics was used to shed light onto the impact of feeding systems (i.e., hay vs. a mixed ration based on hay and fresh forage) on the chemical profile of raw milk for the production of hard cheese. In particular, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF) was used to investigate the chemical profile of raw milk (n = 46) collected from dairy herds located in the Po River Valley (Italy) and considering different feeding systems. Overall, a total of 3320 molecular features were putatively annotated across samples, corresponding to 734 unique compound structures, with significant differences (p < 0.05) between the two feeding regimens under investigation. Additionally, supervised multivariate statistics following metabolomics-based analysis allowed us to clearly discriminate raw milk samples according to the feeding systems, also extrapolating the most discriminant metabolites. Interestingly, 10 compounds were able to strongly explain the differences as imposed by the addition of forage in the cows’ diet, being mainly glycerophospholipids (i.e., lysophosphatidylethanolamines, lysophosphatidylcholines, and phosphatidylcholines), followed by 5-(3′,4′-Dihydroxyphenyl)-gamma-valerolactone-4′-O-glucuronide, 5a-androstan-3a,17b-diol disulfuric acid, and N-stearoyl glycine. The markers identified included both feed-derived (such as phenolic metabolites) and animal-derived compounds (such as lipids and derivatives). Finally, although characterized by a lower prediction ability, the metagenomic profile was found to be significantly correlated to some milk metabolites, with Staphylococcaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, and Dermabacteraceae establishing a higher number of significant correlations with the discriminant metabolites. Therefore, taken together, our preliminary results provide a comprehensive foodomic picture of raw milk samples from different feeding regimens, thus supporting further ad hoc studies investigating the metabolomic and metagenomic changes of milk in all processing conditions.

Abstract
Food and feed proteins are subject to oxidation reactions during production, processing, and storage. Several individual oxidized amino acids have been described in model systems and food; however, protein oxidation in food is still mostly assessed by the analysis of protein carbonylation. In the present review, the chemistry of protein oxidation and its implications for protein functionality, food flavor, and nutritional physiology are briefly summarized. Limitations of generic methods targeting redox-relevant functional groups and properties of typical reaction products, such as the determination of protein carbonyls and fluorescence spectroscopy, are presented. Methods for the quantitation of individual oxidation products of susceptible amino acids, such as cysteine, methionine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, are reported. Special regard is paid to limitations resulting from the required hydrolysis procedures and unintended formation of the analytes during sample pretreatment. If available, results from food analysis obtained by different methods are compared. Suggestions and requirements for future works on protein oxidation in food and nutrition are given.

Abstract
It is known that the first osmotic phase affects the growth rates of roots immediately upon addition of salt; thus, dissecting metabolites profiling provides an opportunity to throw light into the basis of plant tolerance by searching for altered signatures that may be associated with tolerance at this organ. This study examined the influence of salt treatment on fatty acid composition and chemical composition of the essential oil of C. aurantium roots. Results proved that, under salt treatment, an increase of double bond index and linoleic desaturation ratio was pointed out. On the other hand, the reduction of saturated fatty acids was spotted. Such treatment also induced quantitative changes in the chemical composition of the essential oils from C. aurantium roots and increased markedly the rates of monoterpenes, while the sesquiterpenes decreased significantly. Both primary and secondary metabolites were found to be significantly salt responsive, including one fatty acid (palmitoleic acid) and six volatiles (E-2-dodecenal, tetradecanal, γ-Elemene, trans-caryophyllene, α-Terpinene and germacrene D). Plasticity at the metabolic level may allow Citrus plants to acclimatize their metabolic ranges in response to changing environmental conditions.

Abstract
The harmful effects of food-occurring oxidized amino acids, namely, aminoadipic acid (AAA), dityrosine (DTYR), L-kynurenine (KN), kynurenic acid (KA) and 3-nitrotyrosine (3NT), were studied on differentiated CACO-2 cells by flow cytometry and quantification of glutathione (GSH), and allysine. Cells were exposed to food-relevant doses (200 μM) of each compound for 4 or 72h and compared to a control (no stimulated cells). All oxidized amino acids induced apoptosis and results indicated that underlying mechanisms depended on the chemical nature of the species. AAA, KN and KA caused ROS generation and severe oxidative stress in 96%, 98% and 89% of exposed cells (77% in control cells), leading to significant GSH depletion and allysine accretion (1.5, 1.5 and 1.6 nmol allysine/mg protein, respectively at 4h; control: 0.22 nmol/mg protein; p < 0.05). DTYR and 3NT induced significant apoptosis to 29% and 25% of cells (control: 16%; p < 0.05) and necrosis to 28% and 26% of cells (control: 23%) at 72h by ROS-independent mechanisms. KN and KA were found to induce a cycle arrest effect on CACO-2 cells. These findings emphasize the potential harmful effects of the intake of oxidized proteins and amino acids and urge the necessity of carrying out further molecular studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ionization air purifiers, which purify particulate matter (PM) by producing vast number of negative air ions (NAI), are widely used. Recent study implied that ionization air purification could bring respiratory benefits but deterioration of heart rate variability (HRV). However, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. OBJECTIVES To explore the molecular linkages between indoor NAI, decreased PM and the cardiorespiratory effect after purification. METHODS Urine samples were collected from 44 healthy children three times of each study period (real and sham purification) in an existing randomized, double-blind crossover study. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry was conducted in metabolomics analysis, the associations between indoor NAI, decreased PM and the cardiorespiratory function were investigated via the meet-in-metabolite approach (MIMA) based on statistical and metabolic pathway analysis. Mixed-effect models were used to establish associations between exposure, health parameters and metabolites. RESULTS Twenty-eight and fourteen metabolites were identified with significant correlations to NAI and PM, respectively. Besides, eight and eighteen metabolites were separately associated with respiratory function and HRV. The increased NAI and decreased PM improved respiratory function mainly with eight pathways, promoting energy production, anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation capacity. Decreased PM ameliorated HRV with six main pathways, increasing energy production and anti-inflammation capacity while increased NAI deteriorated HRV with five main pathways, lowering energy generation and anti-oxidation capacity. CONCLUSIONS Increased NAI and decreased PM ameliorated respiratory function by increasing energy production, improving anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation capacity. Decreased PM improved cardiac autonomic function by increasing energy production and anti-inflammation capacity, while these benefits were overcast by massive NAI via lowering energy generation and anti-oxidation capacity with different metabolic pathways.

Abstract
SCOPE To improve understanding of the epidemiological link between red and processed meat consumption and chronic diseases, more insight into the formation of metabolites during meat digestion is warranted. METHODS AND RESULTS Untargeted mass-spectrometry-based metabolomics is applied to explore the impact of red and processed meat consumption (compared to chicken), combined with a prudent or Western dietary pattern. A pig feeding study (n = 32), as a sentinel for humans, is conducted in a 2 × 2 factorial design for 4 weeks. The luminal content of the small intestine and colon are collected to determine their metabolic fingerprints. Seventy-six metabolites (38 in the small intestine, 32 in the colon, and 6 in both intestinal compartments) contributing to the distinct gut metabolic profiles of pigs fed either chicken or red and processed meat are (tentatively) identified. Consumption of red and processed meat results in higher levels of short- and medium-chain acylcarnitines and 3-dehydroxycarnitine, irrespective of dietary context, whereas long-chain acylcarnitines and monoacylglycerols are associated with the red and processed Western diet. CONCLUSION The identification of red and processed meat-associated gut metabolites in this study contributes to the understanding of meat digestion in a complex but controlled dietary context and its potential health effects.

Abstract
Despite clinical and research interest in the health implications of the conjugation of linoleic acid (LA) by bifidobacteria, the detailed metabolic pathway and physiological reasons underlying the process remain unclear. This research aimed to investigate, at the molecular level, how LA affects the metabolism of Bifidobacterium breve DSM 20213 as a model for the well-known LA conjugation phenotype of this species. The mechanisms involved and the meaning of the metabolic changes caused by LA to B. breve DSM 20213 are unclear due to the lack of comprehensive information regarding the responses of B. breve DSM 20213 under different environmental conditions. Therefore, for the first time, an untargeted metabolomics-based approach was used to depict the main changes in the metabolic profiles of B. breve DSM 20213. Both supervised and unsupervised statistical methods applied to the untargeted metabolomic data allowed confirming the metabolic changes of B. breve DSM 20213 when exposed to LA. In particular, alterations to the amino-acid, carbohydrate and fatty-acid biosynthetic pathways were observed at the stationary phase of growth curve. Among others, significant up-regulation trends were detected for aromatic (such as tyrosine and tryptophan) and sulfur amino acids (i.e., methionine and cysteine). Besides confirming the conjugation of LA, metabolomics suggested a metabolic reprogramming during the whole growth curve and an imbalance in redox status following LA exposure. Such redox stress resulted in the down-accumulation of peroxide scavengers such as low-molecular-weight thiols (glutathione- and mycothiol-related compounds) and ascorbate precursors, together with the up-accumulation of oxidized (hydroxy- and epoxy-derivatives) forms of fatty acids. Consistently, growth was reduced and the levels of the oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde were higher in LA-exposed B. breve DSM 20213 than in the control.

Metabolomic Study to Evaluate the Transformations of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil's Antioxidant Phytochemicals During In Vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9040302. [PMID: 32268618 PMCID: PMC7222208 DOI: 10.3390/antiox9040302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2020] [Revised: 03/30/2020] [Accepted: 04/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
In this work, different commercial extra-virgin olive oils (EVOO) were subjected to in vitro gastrointestinal digestion and the changes in bioactive compounds were evaluated by ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry, using untargeted metabolomics. As expected, raw EVOO samples were abundant in total sterols (on average: 3007.4 mg equivalents/kg) and tyrosol equivalents (on average: 334.1 mg equivalents/kg). However, the UHPLC-QTOF screening allowed us to annotate 310 compounds, with a large abundance of sterols (219 compounds), followed by polyphenols (67 compounds) and terpenoids. The in vitro gastrointestinal digestion was found to affect the phytochemical composition of the different EVOO samples. In particular, both unsupervised and supervised statistics depicted the modifications of the bioactive profile following gastric and pancreatic phases. Overall, the compounds which resulted as the most affected by the in vitro digestion were flavonoids (cyanidin and luteolin equivalents), whilst relatively high % bioaccessibility values were recorded for tyrosol equivalents during the pancreatic phase (on average, 66%). In this regard, oleuropein-aglycone (i.e., the major phenolic compound in EVOO) was converted to hydroxytyrosol, moving from an average value of 1.3 (prior to the in vitro digestion) up to 9.7 mg equivalents/kg during the pancreatic step. As proposed in the literature, the increase in hydroxytyrosol might be the result of the combined effect of lipase(s) activity and acidic conditions. Taken together, the present findings corroborate the suitability of untargeted metabolomics coupled to in vitro digestion methods to investigate the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds. In this regard, a significant impact of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on polyphenolic profiles has been detected, thus suggesting the need to account for actual bioaccessibility values rather than just considering the amounts in the raw commodity.

Impact of storage conditions on the human stool metabolome and lipidome: Preserving the most accurate fingerprint. Anal Chim Acta 2020; 1108:79-88. [PMID: 32222247 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2020.02.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2019] [Revised: 02/12/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Faecal metabolomics markedly emerged in clinical as well as analytical chemistry through the unveiling of aberrations in metabolic signatures as reflection of variance in gut (patho)physiology and beyond. Logistic hurdles, however, hinder the analysis of stool samples immediately following collection, inferring the need of biobanking. Yet, the optimum way of storing stool material remains to be determined, in order to conserve an accurate snapshot of the metabolome and circumvent artifacts regarding the disease and parameter(s) under observation. To address this problem, this study scrutinised the impact of freeze-thaw cycling, storage duration, temperature and aerobicity, thereby using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS)-based polar metabolomics and lipidomics methodologies for faecal metabolomics. Both targeted (n > 400) and untargeted approaches were implemented to assess storage effects on individual chemical classes of metabolites as well as the faecal fingerprint. In general, recommendations are that intact stool samples should be divided into aliquots, lyophilised and stored at -80 °C for a period no longer than 18 weeks, and avoiding any freeze-thawing. The first preservation week exerted the most decisive impact regarding storage temperature, i.e. 12.1% and 6.4% of the polar metabolome experienced a shift at -20 °C and at -80 °C, respectively, whereas 8.6% and 7.9% was observed to be changed significantly for the lipidome. In addition, aside from the negligible impact of aerobicity, the polar metabolome appeared to be more dependent on the storage conditions applied compared to the lipidome, which emerged as the more stable fraction when assessing the storage duration for 25 weeks. If the interest would greatly align with particular chemical classes, such as branched-chain amino acids or short-chain fatty acids, specific storage duration recommendations are reported. The provided insights on the stability of the faecal metabolome may contribute to a more reasoned design of experiments in biomarker detection or pathway elucidation within the field of faecal metabolomics.

Abstract
SCOPE Common methods for food intake assessment are error-prone. Estimating food intake via metabolite biomarkers in blood/urine is challenged by inter-individual variation. Here, meat intake markers based on criteria defined within the FoodBAll consortium, including dose dependency, specificity, kinetics, and their ability to predict meat dose, are evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS In two randomized human interventions, meat at different doses are consumed. Plasma concentrations of 100 analytes, including previously proposed meat intake markers, are determined at different time points up to 24 h after meat ingestion using targeted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Plasma concentrations of π-methylhistidine (π-M-His) correlated best with the chicken meat amount consumed even after 24 h (R2 = 0.96). Both, anserine and π-M-His show first-order elimination kinetics, irrespective of meat dose (t1/2 is 1.4 and 5.9 h, respectively). Surprisingly, π-M-His best predicted the amount of beef consumed, albeit at lower concentrations. Furthermore, trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) increases only after beef, while dimethylglycine only after chicken consumption. The lack of baseline concentrations for π-M-His and anserine is likely the strength of these compounds to predict meat dose. CONCLUSION Quantitative assessment of meat intake within 24 h is most accurate with π-M-His, whereas TMAO and dimethylglycine best discriminate between chicken and beef.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The World Health Organization classified processed and red meat consumption as "carcinogenic" and "probably carcinogenic", respectively, to humans. Haem iron from meat plays a role in the promotion of colorectal cancer in rodent models, in association with enhanced luminal lipoperoxidation and subsequent formation of aldehydes. Here, we investigated the short-term effects of this haem-induced lipoperoxidation on mucosal and luminal gut homeostasis including microbiome in F344 male rats fed with a haem-enriched diet (1.5 μmol/g) 14-21 days. RESULTS Changes in permeability, inflammation, and genotoxicity observed in the mucosal colonic barrier correlated with luminal haem and lipoperoxidation markers. Trapping of luminal haem-induced aldehydes normalised cellular genotoxicity, permeability, and ROS formation on a colon epithelial cell line. Addition of calcium carbonate (2%) to the haem-enriched diet allowed the luminal haem to be trapped in vivo and counteracted these haem-induced physiological traits. Similar covariations of faecal metabolites and bacterial taxa according to haem-induced lipoperoxidation were identified. CONCLUSIONS This integrated approach provides an overview of haem-induced modulations of the main actors in the colonic barrier. All alterations were closely linked to haem-induced lipoperoxidation, which is associated with red meat-induced colorectal cancer risk.

Abstract
Under global climate change forecasts, the pressure of environmental stressors (and in particular drought) on crop productivity is expected to rise and challenge further global food security. The application of beneficial microorganisms may represent an environment friendly tool to secure improved crop performance and yield stability. Accordingly, this current study aimed at elucidating the metabolomic responses triggered by mycorrhizal (Funneliformis mosseae) inoculation of durum (Triticum durum Desf.; cv. 'Mongibello') and bread wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.; cv. 'Chinese Spring') under full irrigation and water deficit regimes. Metabolomics indicated a similar regulation of secondary metabolism in both bread and durum wheat cultivars following water limiting conditions. Nonetheless, a mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) x cultivar interaction could be observed, with the bread wheat cultivar being more affected by arbuscular colonization under water limiting conditions. Discriminant compounds could be mostly related to sugars and lipids, both being positively modulated by AMF colonization under water stress. Moreover, a regulation of metabolites related to oxidative stress and a tuning of crosstalk between phytohormones were also evidenced. Among the latter, the stimulation of the brassinosteroids biosynthetic pathway was particularly evident in inoculated wheat roots, supporting the hypothesis of their involvement in enhancing plant response to water stress and modulation of oxidative stress conditions. This study proposes new insights on the modulation of the tripartite interaction plant-AMF-environmental stress.

Abstract
Current untargeted approaches for metabolic fingerprinting of colon tissue and cell lines lack validation of reproducibility and/or focus on a selection of metabolites as opposed to the entire metabolome. Yet, both are critical to ensure reliable results and pursue a fully holistic analysis. Therefore, we have optimized and validated a platform for analyzing the polar metabolome and lipidome of colon-derived cell and tissue samples based on a consecutive extraction of polar and apolar components. Peak areas of selected targeted analytes and the number of untargeted components were assessed. Analysis was performed using ultra-high performance liquid-chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). This resulted in an optimized extraction protocol using 50% methanol/ultrapure water to obtain the polar fraction followed by a dichloromethane-based lipid extraction. Using this comprehensive approach, we have detected more than 15,000 components with CV < 30% in internal quality control (IQC) samples and were able to discriminate the non-transformed (NT) and transformed (T) state in human colon tissue and cell lines based on validated OPLS-DA models (R2Y > 0.719 and Q2 > 0.674). To conclude, our validated polar metabolomics and lipidomics fingerprinting approach could be of great value to reveal gastrointestinal disease-associated biomarkers and mechanisms.

Arcanjo NM, Ventanas S, González-Mohíno A, Madruga MS, Estévez M. Benefits of wine-based marination of strip steaks prior to roasting: inhibition of protein oxidation and impact on sensory properties. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2019; 99:1108-1116. [PMID: 30047154 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.9278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2018] [Revised: 07/21/2018] [Accepted: 07/22/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of red wine-based marination on the oxidative stability and overall quality of roasted beef strip steaks. Four treatments were considered, according to the type of wine (300 mL dealcoholized wine/kilogram meat): 'Cabernet Sauvignon', 'Tempranillo', 'Isabel' (ISA), and a control. The formation of potentially harmful protein oxidation products during roasting, including protein carbonyls and dityrosines, was inhibited by bioactive components of the wine. RESULTS ISA marinades were particularly resistant to protein oxidation, which could be due the particular composition of this wine in phenolic compounds. Wine-based marination was also effective in controlling the formation of lipid-derived volatile compounds, such as hexanal, octane-2,5-dione, and heptan-2-one, which led to a reduced perception of rancidity by panelists. Additionally, wines contributed to spicing roasted beef with wine-derived flavors from esters, alcohols, and lactones. CONCLUSIONS Hence, marination may be a feasible means to alleviate the potential negative effects that oxidative reactions cause to meat proteins, improve beef quality, and diversify beef cuts into a variety of safer and more flavored meat products. Among wines, ISA appeared to be most promising in terms of antioxidant protection; however, the limited consumer acceptance of steaks treated with this wine may be regarded as a drawback to be sorted out in future studies. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The fate of polyphenols from edible tree nuts was investigated using a simulated in vitro intestinal fermentation system. The digested food matrix was fermented for 48 h and the changes in the phenolic profiles were evaluated by both untargeted UHPLC-QTOF and targeted UHPLC-Orbitrap mass spectrometry. The untargeted metabolomics approach allowed us to monitor the comprehensive changes in phenolic profiles from 0 up to 48 h of in vitro fermentation. Multivariate statistics (i.e., orthogonal projection to latent structures discriminant analysis) applied to this untargeted data allowed us to identify the most discriminating phenolic metabolites and to further understand the colonic transformation pathways involved. In particular, 13 putatively identified compounds derived from flavonoids, lignans and phenolic acids were found to have the highest discrimination potential. Six phenolic metabolites were then quantified by means of targeted metabolomics (using a UHPLC-Orbitrap). These metabolites included 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, hippuric acid, caffeic acid, protocatechuic acid and protocatechuic aldehyde. Using the targeted data, a clear matrix effect was observed over time, with an increase of some phenolic metabolites moving from 8 to 48 h of in vitro fermentation. Based on these data, catabolic pathways for colonic microbial degradation of flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acids, tyrosols and lignans are proposed. Our findings show that edible tree nuts deliver polyphenols to the colon, where several microbial transformations occur that lead to smaller phenolic metabolites being observed. Furthermore, we found that the combined use of targeted and untargeted metabolomics can be particularly effective for investigating the fate of polyphenols in the large intestine.

Abstract
Maize is a staple food source in the world, whose ancient varieties or landraces are receiving a growing attention. In this work, two Italian maize cultivars with pigmented kernels and one inbred line were investigated for untargeted phenolic profile, in vitro antioxidant capacity and resistance to Fusariumverticillioides infection. "Rostrato Rosso" was the richest in anthocyanins whilst phenolic acids were the second class in abundance, with comparable values detected between cultivars. Tyrosol equivalents were also the highest in "Rostrato Rosso" (822.4 mg kg-1). Coherently, "Rostrato Rosso" was highly resistant to fungal penetration and diffusion. These preliminary findings might help in breeding programs, aiming to develop maize lines more resistant to infections and with improved nutraceutical value.

Milk replacer restriction during early life impairs the live body weight and progesterone patterns of ewe lambs during the replacement period. J Dairy Sci 2018; 101:8021-8031.

Abstract
Nutritional programming caused by feed restriction during the early life may counteract the profitability of the dairy sheep farm. However, most studies have been focused exclusively on the prenatal period, and scarce information regarding the effect of milk replacer (MR) restriction on feed efficiency [residual feed intake (RFI)] and progesterone patterns of replacement ewe lambs is available. Therefore, in the present study 40 Assaf female newborn lambs were penned individually and assigned randomly to 1 of 2 treatment groups (n = 20 per treatment). The first group of lambs was fed MR ad libitum (ADLB), whereas the second one (restricted, RES) only received approximately 62.5% of the MR intake measured in the ADLB group. All the lambs were weighed twice a week until they were 35 d old. Then 8 lambs from each group were killed and a morphological study of the gut was performed. Moreover, a piece of liver was cut to measure fat content and oxidative status. The rest of the ewe lambs (24) were weaned and offered a total mixed ration ad libitum to calculate the RFI during the replacement phase. Plasma samples were collected when ewe lambs were 8 mo old to perform a nontargeted metabolomic analysis on a hybrid quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometer coupled to an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatographic system. Progesterone was also measured weekly on serum samples by sequential competitive immunoassay until the end of the experiment (9.5 mo old). The results observed indicate that moderated MR restriction promoted differences in the morphology of the gut of the 35-d-old lambs, but not in the apparent digestibility or feed efficiency traits (RFI) during the replacement phase. However, there was a trend toward reduced live body weight of the RES ewe lambs when they were 9.5 mo old. Moreover, progesterone patterns revealed that only 1 RES versus 4 ADLB ewe lambs had ovulated for the first time at the end of the experiment. This evidence suggests the existence of long-term effects caused by early feed restriction with negative consequences on live body weight and reproductive traits of replacement ewe lambs.

Abstract
Interest in using polyphenols as modulators of the activity of starch digestive enzymes is increasing. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the role of phenolic compounds characterising pigmented maize flours in the modulation of in vitro starch digestibility. Flours from three different pigmented maize varieties were evaluated under cooking conditions and compared to common yellow maize (YM). The untargeted metabolomics-based approach comprehensively annotated around 300 phenolic compounds, with a high distribution of anthocyanins and phenolic acids (in free and bound fractions of maize samples) and significant differences across genotypes. Following in vitro starch digestion, the cooked pigmented maize flours showed higher resistant starch content (from 5.1 to 6.9 g /100 g dry matter), as well as lower starch hydrolysis index (HI) when compared to YM flour, with the "Rostrato Rosso" maize having the lowest HI (i.e., 61). Coherently, multivariate statistics following metabolomics showed the discrimination potential of anthocyanins' profile after cooking, characterising the "Rostrato Rosso" during in vitro digestion. These findings might be related to the modulation of enzyme activity by phenolic compounds during in vitro digestion. Therefore, the use of pigmented maize flours might help in the formulation of gluten-free foods with slowly digestible starches by exploiting the wide phenolic composition of these matrices.

Abstract
The routine biochemical parameters for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis are all protein markers. Serum concentrations of these markers can be affected by some benign diseases. Most of the occurrence of HCC has a background of cirrhosis, posing a great challenge to differential diagnosis of HCC from cirrhosis using traditional biochemical parameters. Values of serum small molecular metabolites for HCC diagnosis are not fully evaluated. In this study, a traditionalmass spectrometry-based screening strategy was employed to profile amino acids and acylcarnitines in blood samples collected from HCC and cirrhosis patients. Each whole blood specimen was sampled on filter paper and dried at room temperature. Metabolites in the dried blood spots were extracted using organic solvent and then concentrated for mass spectrometry analysis. It was found that 11 parameters, including amino acids, acylcarnitines and some of their relevant ratios, could be used to construct a satisfied differential diagnosis model. In this model, most of the relevant amino acids were essential amino acids. It was noticed that short-chain acylcarnitines tended to be risk factors for HCC. Long-chain acylcarnitines seemed to be risk factors for cirrhosis. This study demonstrates the value of mass spectrometry-based analysis for differential diagnosis of HCC and cirrhosis. Improved differential diagnosis ability may be achieved by combined use of traditional protein markers along with metabolite markers.

Abstract
Interest in the role of small bioactive molecules (< 500 Da) in plants is on the rise, compelled by plant scientists' attempt to unravel their mode of action implicated in stimulating growth and enhancing tolerance to environmental stressors. The current study aimed at elucidating the morphological, physiological and metabolomic changes occurring in greenhouse tomato (cv. Seny) treated with omeprazole (OMP), a benzimidazole inhibitor of animal proton pumps. The OMP was applied at three rates (0, 10, or 100 μM) as substrate drench for tomato plants grown under nonsaline (control) or saline conditions sustained by nutrient solutions of 1 or 75 mM NaCl, respectively. Increasing NaCl concentration from 1 to 75 mM decreased the tomato shoot dry weight by 49% in the 0 μM OMP treatment, whereas the reduction was not significant at 10 or 100 μM of OMP. Treatment of salinized (75 mM NaCl) tomato plants with 10 and especially 100 μM OMP decreased Na+ and Cl- while it increased Ca2+ concentration in the leaves. However, OMP was not strictly involved in ion homeostasis since the K+ to Na+ ratio did not increase under combined salinity and OMP treatment. OMP increased root dry weight, root morphological characteristics (total length and surface), transpiration, and net photosynthetic rate independently of salinity. Metabolic profiling of leaves through UHPLC liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry facilitated identification of the reprogramming of a wide range of metabolites in response to OMP treatment. Hormonal changes involved an increase in ABA, decrease in auxins and cytokinin, and a tendency for GA down accumulation. Cutin biosynthesis, alteration of membrane lipids and heightened radical scavenging ability related to the accumulation of phenolics and carotenoids were observed. Several other stress-related compounds, such as polyamine conjugates, alkaloids and sesquiterpene lactones, were altered in response to OMP. Although a specific and well-defined mechanism could not be posited, the metabolic processes involved in OMP action suggest that this small bioactive molecule might have a hormone-like activity that ultimately elicits an improved tolerance to NaCl salinity stress.

Abstract
Food intake and metabolization of foods is a complex and multi-facetted process that encompasses the introduction of new metabolite compounds in our body, initiation or alterations in endogenous metabolic processes and biochemical pathways, and likely also involving the activity of the gut microbial community that we host. The explorative nature of metabolomics makes it a superior tool for examining the whole response to food intake in a more thorough way and has led to the introduction of the term nutrimetabolomics. Protein derived from animal sources constitutes an important part of our diet, and there is therefore an interest in understanding how these animal-derived dietary sources influence us metabolically. This review aims to illuminate how the introduction of nutrimetabolomics has contributed to gain novel insight into metabolic and nutritional aspects related to intake of animal-based foods.
