Abstract
Due to its excellent antiseptic efficacy and antimicrobial properties, propolis has shown attractive advantages in wound dressings. However, an inclusive review of the propolis-based materials as a wound dressing is still lacking. The current short review summarizes the skin wound healing process, relates evaluation parameters, and then reviews the refined propolis-based materials dressings such as antimicrobial property, adhesion and hemostasis, anti-inflammatory and substance delivery. The approaches implemented to achieve these functions are classified and discussed. Furthermore, applications of propolis wound dressing for treating different types of wounds such as heal wounds, burns, and ulcers are presented. The future directions of propolis-based wound dressings for wound healing are further proposed. This review showed that propolis-based materials might be a promising new dressing for wound occlusion and tissue repairing.

Abstract
Furan is a heat-induced food contaminant, and it causes damage to visceral organs, including the testis. To determine the mechanism of the damage to the testis, a mouse model treated with furan (8 mg/kg bw/day) and salidroside (SAL, 10/20/40 mg/kg bw/day) was established, and levels of testicular functional markers and changes of morphology were investigated in furan-induced mice treated with SAL. The change in related proteins and genes suggested that SAL restored the furan-mediated leaky tight junction and triggered the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome together with inflammation. To find out the gut-testis axis, microbiota PICRUSt analysis and correlation analysis were conducted to investigate the core microbiota and metabolites. The endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related key protein levels and the result of transmission electron microscopy suggested that SAL inhibited the furan-induced intestinal ERS. The result of TUNEL and levels of apoptosis-related proteins suggested that furan-induced intestinal apoptosis was alleviated by SAL. Collectively, SAL inhibited furan-induced ERS-mediated intestinal apoptosis through modulation of intestinal flora and metabolites, thus strengthening the gut barrier. It inhibited LPS from entering the circulatory system and suppressed the testicular TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome, which alleviated testicular inflammation.

Food Chem Toxicol 2023:113934.

Abstract
Evidence suggests that furan, a widespread environmental and food contaminant, causes liver toxicity and cancer, but its implications in the brain are not well defined. We measured behavioral, glial, and biochemical responses in male juvenile rats exposed orally to 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg furan and vitamin E after 28 days. Furan-mediated hyperactivity peaked at 5 mg/kg and did not exacerbate at 10 mg/kg. Enhanced motor defect was also observed at 10 mg/kg. Furan-treated rats elicited inquisitive exploration but showed impaired working memory. Without compromising the blood-brain barrier, furan induced glial reactivity with enhanced phagocytic activity, characterized by parenchyma-wide microglial aggregation and proliferation, which switched from hyper-ramified to rod-like morphology with increasing doses. Furan altered the glutathione-S-transferase-driven enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defence systems differentially and dose-dependently across brain regions. Redox homeostasis was most perturbed in the striatum and least disrupted in hippocampus/cerebellum. Vitamin E supplementation attenuated exploratory hyperactivity and glial reactivity but did not affect impaired working memory and oxidative imbalance. Overall, sub-chronic exposure of juvenile rats to furan triggered glial reactivity and behavioral defects suggesting the brain's vulnerability during juvenile development to furan toxicity. It remains to be determined whether environmentally relevant furan concentrations interfere with critical brain developmental milestones.

Abstract
Background Across the world, people are exposed to pesticide residues in agricultural products. Various materials are used to deal with effects of these residues. Considering the wide use of dichlorvos and acetamiprid in crops, pesticide residues in cucumber and its effects on the biochemical parameters of mice were calculated, and the protective role of donkey colostrum (DC) to deal with the pesticide effects was investigated. Materials and Methods Dichlorvos (4 ml/l) and acetamiprid (0.5 g/l) residues, after spraying cucumber plants, were 0.5 and 1.5 mg/kg, respectively. For 60 days, the mentioned doses were used in the drinking water of 4 groups of mice. No substances were added to mice drinking water in the control group while dichlorvos and acetamiprid groups received 0.5 and 1.5 mg/kg of pesticide, respectively, and the mixed group received a combination of two pesticides. In order to investigate the protective role of DC, 0.2 ml of colostrum was given to each of the groups in a similar division and timing. Results In the biochemical sector, albumin (control 2.96, dichlorvos 1.86, acetamiprid 2.00, and mix 1.6 g/dl) and total protein levels reduced. Alanine aminotransferase (control 41.8, dichlorvos 56.2, acetamiprid 58.4, and mix 68 iu/l) and aspartate aminotransferase levels increased. In the protective role of colostrum, albumin (control 2.96, dichlorvos 2.74, acetamiprid 2.80, and mix 2.50 g/dl) and alanine aminotransferase changes (control 41.8, dichlorvos 43.4, acetamiprid 46.0, and mix 52.2 iu/l) were recorded (P = 0.0001). Conclusion Adding pesticides to mice drinking water causes liver disorders and DC can be effective in protecting these damages.

Abstract
Research on heat-induced food contamination is being given more attention as a result of the health risks that have been publicly revealed in recent years. Furan is known as a colorless, combustible, heterocyclic aromatic organic molecule and is formed when food products are processed and stored. It has been established that furan, which is inevitably ingested, has a deleterious impact on human health and causes toxicity. Furan is known to have adverse effects on the immune system, neurological system, skin, liver, kidney, and fat tissue. Infertility caused by furan is a result of its damaging effects on several tissues and organs as well as the reproductive system. Although studies on the adverse effects of furan on the male reproductive system have been performed, there is no study revealing apoptosis in Leydig cells at the gene level. In this study, TM3 mouse Leydig cells were exposed to 250- and 2,500-μM concentrations of furan for 24 h. The findings demonstrated that furan decreased cell viability and antioxidant enzyme activity while increasing lipid peroxidation, reactive oxygen species, and apoptotic cell rates. Furan also increased the expression of the important apoptotic genes Casp3 and Trp53 while decreasing the expression of another pro-apoptotic gene, Bcl2, and antioxidant genes Sod1, Gpx1, and Cat. In conclusion, these results imply that furan may cause loss of cell function in mouse Leydig cells responsible for testosterone biosynthesis by impairing the efficiency of the antioxidant system, possibly by inducing cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.

Abstract
Furan (C4H4O) is a naturally occurring organic compound. It develops as a result of the thermal processing of food and stimulates critical impairments in male reproductive tract. Eriodictyol (Etyol) is a natural dietary flavonoid possessing diverse pharmacological potentials. The recent investigation was proposed to ascertain the ameliorative potential of eriodictyol against furan-instigated reproductive dysfunctions. Male rats (n = 48) were classified into 4 groups: untreated/control, furan (10 mg/kg), furan+ eriodictyol (10 mg/kg + 20 mg/kg) and eriodictyol (20 mg/kg). At the 56th day of the trial, the protective effects of eriodictyol were evaluated by assessing various parameters. Results of the study revealed that eriodictyol attenuated furan-induced testicular toxicity in the biochemical profile by increasing catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) along with glutathione reductase (GSR) activities, whereas reduced the reactive oxygen species (ROS) along with malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. It also restored the normal state of sperm motility, viability, the count of hypo-osmotic tail swelled sperm as well as epididymal sperm number along with reduced sperm anomalies (morphological) tail, mid-piece and head. Furthermore, it elevated the decreased levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), plasma testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) as well steroidogenic enzymes (17β-HSD, StAR protein & 3β-HSD) and testicular anti-apoptotic marker (Bcl-2) expression, whereas, down-regulating apoptotic markers (Bax & Caspase-3) expression. Eriodictyol treatment also effectively mitigated the histopathological damages. The outcomes of the current study provide fundamental insights into the ameliorative potential of eriodictyol against furan-instigated testicular toxicity.

Abstract
Despite lead widespread environmental pollution, its effect on humans and livestock's respiratory systems remains inadequately investigated. Similarly, furan is industrially relevant with enormous environmental presence. Lead and furan can be ingested -via lead pipes contaminated water and heat-treated food respectively. Thus, humans are inadvertently exposed continuously. Lead toxicity is well studied, and furan have earned a position on the IARC's list of carcinogens. Here, we evaluate the effect of co-exposure to lead and furan on rat lungs. Thirty Wistar rats were grouped randomly into six cohorts (n = 6) consisting of a control group, furan alone group, lead acetate (PbAc) alone group and three other groups co-exposure to graded PbAc (1, 10 & 100 µg/L) alongside a constant furan (8 mg/kg) dose. After twenty-eight days, enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant, oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers were biochemically evaluated. The ELISA-based technique was used to measure oxidative-DNA damage (8-OHG), tumour protein 53 (TP53) expressed and tumour necrotic factor-alpha (TNF-α) level. Dose-dependent increases (p < 0.05) in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, myeloperoxidase, TNF-α and TP53 level, with an associated decrease (p < 0.05) in enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants were observed in the furan, PbAc and the co-treated rats relative to the control. In addition, PbAc and furan treatment impaired the histoarchitectural structures of rat lungs, exemplified by pro-inflammatory cell infiltration and trafficking into the bronchioles and alveolar spaces. Co-exposure to furan and PbAc may contribute to lung dysfunction via loss of redox balance, genomic damage/instability, inflammation and disrupted histoarchitectural features.

Abstract
Furan and lead are contaminants of global concern due to the potential public health threat associated with their exposure. Herein, the neurobehavioral performance, biochemical effects and histological alterations associated with co-exposure to furan (8 mg/kg) and lead acetate at low, environmentally realistic concentrations (1, 10 and 100 µg PbAc/L) for 28 uninterrupted days were investigated in rats. The results demonstrated that locomotor, motor and exploratory deficits associated with separate exposure to furan and lead was exacerbated in the co-exposed rats. Furan and lead co-exposure aggravated the marked decrease in acetylcholinesterase activity and antioxidant status, elevation in oxido-inflammatory stress indices and caspases activation in the cerebrum and cerebellum of exposed rats compared with control. Furan and lead co-exposure worsened neuronal degeneration as verified by histomorphometry and histochemical staining. Collectively, furan and lead acts together to exacerbate neurotoxicity via inhibition of cholinergic system, induction of oxido-inflammatory stress and caspases activation in rats.

Abstract
Furan, a processing-induced food contaminant, has attracted great attention due to its hepatotoxicity. To further investigate the underlying mechanism of salidroside (SAL) alleviating furan-induced liver damage, we divided Balb/c mice into the control group, the furan (8 mg/kg/day) group, and three groups of three different doses of SAL (10/20/40 mg/kg/day) in the current research. The shifted serum profile was observed through untargeted metabonomics, to which the bile acid metabolism was related, and the alleviating effect of SAL against furan-induced apoptosis was caused by the metabolism. Target bile acid quantification for the liver and serum showed that SAL positively regulated the homeostasis of bile acids disturbed by furan. Meanwhile, SAL significantly upregulated the synthesis genes of bile acids (Cyp7a1, Cyp7b1, Cyp8b1, and Cyp27a1) and the uptake transport genes (Ntcp and Oatps) and downregulated the efflux transport genes (Bsep, Ost-α, Ost-β, Mrp2, and Mrp4). Transmission electron microscopy of the bile canaliculi and tight junctions and the levels of tight junction marker proteins (ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-1) confirmed that the disruption of the hepatic tight junction was inhibited by SAL. The connection between the apoptosis- and tight junction-related proteins was observed through the construction of a protein-protein interaction network. SAL suppressed the furan-induced hepatocyte apoptosis evidenced by the detection of TUNEL and Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase-3 levels. Taken together, SAL alleviated furan-induced hepatocyte apoptosis via altering the disordered homeostasis of bile acids and hepatic tight junctions.

Abstract
Furan is a volatile and carcinogenic heterocyclic chemical compound that occurs in a wide range of thermally processed food. It can be induced during food-preparing processes by high temperatures and UV-C light. In the present study, the degradation of furan content in ground coffee, Maillard model system, and not-from-concentrate (NFC) apple juice by red-fleshed apple anthocyanin extract (RAAE) was studied. The results demonstrated that RAAEs had different degrees of degradation of furan content in coffee powder, and the RAAE from ‘XJ3’ had the most significant effect, with a reduction rate of up to 20%. Moreover, by adding RAAE to the Maillard model system, we found the amounts of furan were significantly reduced. At the same time, RAAE from ‘XJ3’ could observably reduce the content of furan in pasteurized NFC juice, with ‘Fuli’ NFC juice furan content decreasing the most, which was 68%. Taken together, our study demonstrated that the use of RAAE could be a feasible way to reduce furan content in ground coffee, Maillard model system, and NFC apple juice.

Abstract
Bee products are a promising source of phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant activity. The present study was designed to explore the protective effect of honey, propolis, and their combination on gentamicin-induced oxidative stress and hepatorenal dysfunction. This study was conducted on male Wistar rats by intraperitoneal injections of gentamicin (120 mg/kg BW/day, i.p.) or normal saline (1 ml/kg BW/day, i.p.) for 10 consecutive days. Honey (2 g/kg BW), propolis (100 mg/kg BW), or their combination were given daily by gavage to normal and gentamicin groups. Honey and propolis samples were evaluated for their phytochemical composition and antioxidant capacity. The in vitro investigations showed that the evaluated samples especially propolis extract have high antioxidant power associated with the presence of several phenolic compounds such as flavonoids, flavan-3-ols, hydroxybenzoic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids, and stilbenes, while honey contains only hydroxybenzoic acids and hydroxycinnamic acids. It was also shown that simultaneous treatment with honey or propolis extract alone or in association prevented changes caused by gentamicin administration and improved hepatic and renal functions. Changes caused by gentamicin administration, observed by in vivo experiments, include significant elevation of uric acid, urea, creatinine, and hepatic enzyme levels (ALT, AST, and ALP) and kidney biochemical changes (an increase of urea, uric acid, and creatinine and a decrease of albumin and total protein) as well as remarkable changes of renal and liver oxidative stress markers (CAT, GPx, and GSH) and elevation of MDA levels. Overall, it can be concluded that honey and propolis might be useful in the management of liver and renal diseases induced by xenobiotics.

Food Sci Nutr 2021; 9:875-887. [PMID: 33598171 PMCID: PMC7866612 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.2051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2020] [Revised: 11/21/2020] [Accepted: 11/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Mixtures of selected functional foods (MSFF) were composed of nattokinase (fermented soybean), red yeast rice extract, Ginkgo biloba, oat fiber, garlic, bee pollen, and propolis as anti-hypercholesterolemic were studied. The goal of this study was to determine the bioactive compounds in these mixtures and their cholesterol-lowering potential effects (biochemical profiles, lipid peroxidation, liver tissue histopathology, and enzymatic activity analysis; HMGCoA reductase and ACAT2. The LC-MS/MS analysis showed that bioactive compounds such as Monacolin K, naringin, tocopherol, and glutamate, which have potential as anti-hypercholesterolemic agents, were present in these functional food mixtures. MSFF supplementation at 50 mg/kg 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg showed substantial reductions in serum lipid profiles (TC and LDL) (p < .05). The serum liver profiles of AST (115.33 ± 8.69 U/L) and ALT (61.00 ± 1.00 U/L) were significantly reduced (p < .05) with MSFF supplementation at 200 mg/kg. MDA lipid peroxidation has also decreased significantly (p < .05) in serum (3.69 ± 0.42 μmol/L) and liver (15.04 ± 0.97 μmol/mg) tissues and has been shown to protect against hepatic steatosis. The significant (p < .05) inhibition activity of HMGCoA reductase (163.82 ± 3.50 pg/ml) and ACAT2 (348.35 ± 18.85 pg/ml) was also attributed by the supplementation of MSFF at 200 mg/kg.
