Abstract
Oilseeds are important sources of diversified nutraceuticals with marked health attributes. Thus, a better understanding of metabolome differences between common oilseeds will be conducive to the food pharmacy. This study aimed to compare the metabolite profiles and antioxidant activity of sesame, soybean, peanut, and perilla seeds and reveal the variation in bioactive compounds. LC-MS-based widely targeted metabolic profiling identified a total of 975 metabolites, of which 753 were common to the four crops. Multivariate analyses unveiled a crop-specific accumulation of metabolites, with 298-388 DAMs (differentially accumulated metabolites) identified. Amino acid metabolism, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis, and lipid metabolism were the most differentially regulated pathways. Furthermore, we revealed the variation in the relative content of 48, 20, 18, 9, 18, 11, and 6 differentially accumulated bioactive flavonoids, phenolic acids, amino acids, vitamins, terpenoids, alkaloids, and coumarins, respectively. Most of the flavonoids accumulated highly in soybean, followed by perilla. Sesame exhibited a better amino acid profile than other oilseeds. DPPH and FRAP assays showed that the antioxidant activity of perilla seed extracts was the highest, followed by soybean, peanut, and sesame. Our results provide data support for the comprehensive use of sesame, perilla, soybean, and peanut seeds in food, and pharmaceutical industries.

Serum metabolomics profiling of improved metabolic syndrome is characterized by decreased pro-inflammatory biomarkers: A longitudinal study in Chinese male adults. Nutr Res 2023; 115:13-25. [PMID: 37216838 DOI: 10.1016/j.nutres.2023.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a serious global health concern. The objective of this study is to dynamically investigate the changes of metabolic profiles and metabolites in Chinese male MetS subjects after an 18 months diet and exercise intervention. Fifty male MetS patients defined according to International Diabetes Federation 2005 guidelines were subjected to diet and exercise counseling for 18 months. Serum samples were taken at baseline, 12 months, and 18 months, respectively, for clinical evaluation and metabolomics analyses. Diet and exercise intervention for 18 months achieved significant improvements in the metabolic profiles of all participants. Nineteen subjects (38.0%) exhibited MetS remission at the end of the study. A total of 812 relative features were characterized and 61 were successfully identified. Furthermore, 17 differential metabolites were of significance at both time points (baseline-12 months, baseline-18 months) and presented nonlinear trends through time. Eight metabolites (47.1%) were predominantly converged to inflammation and oxidative stress. Pro-inflammatory biomarkers were remarkably decreased after 18 months of intervention, and prostaglandin E2, neuroprotectin D1, and taxiphyllin in combination were firstly found to demonstrate a fair discriminative power (area under curve = 0.911) to predict the improvement of MetS undergone diet and exercise intervention. The significant shift of metabolomic profiling after 18 months of lifestyle counseling provide a novel insight and reveal that earlier inflammation control may be of potential benefit in MetS management.

Sakurai N. Recent applications of metabolomics in plant breeding. BREEDING SCIENCE 2022; 72:56-65. [PMID: 36045891 PMCID: PMC8987846 DOI: 10.1270/jsbbs.21065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/19/2021] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Metabolites play a central role in maintaining organismal life and in defining crop phenotypes, such as nutritional value, fragrance, color, and stress resistance. Among the 'omes' in biology, the metabolome is the closest to the phenotype. Consequently, metabolomics has been applied to crop improvement as method for monitoring changes in chemical compositions, clarifying the mechanisms underlying cellular functions, discovering markers and diagnostics, and phenotyping for mQTL, mGWAS, and metabolite-genome predictions. In this review, 359 reports of the most recent applications of metabolomics to plant breeding-related studies were examined. In addition to the major crops, more than 160 other crops including rare medicinal plants were considered. One bottleneck associated with using metabolomics is the wide array of instruments that are used to obtain data and the ambiguity associated with metabolite identification and quantification. To further the application of metabolomics to plant breeding, the features and perspectives of the technology are discussed.
