Vitamin C supplementation promotes mental vitality in healthy young adults: results from a cross-sectional analysis and a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
출판일: 2022. 02. Abstract Purpose: We aimed to investigate the link of vitamin C status with vitality and psychological functions in a cross-sectional study, and examine their causal relationship through a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Methods: We first conducted a population-based cross-sectional investigation of healthy young adults (n = 214, 20–39 years), and analyzed the associations of […]
Luteolin Induces Apoptosis and Autophagy in HCT116 Colon Cancer Cells via p53-dependent pathway
출판일: 2022. 02. Abstract Although a dietary phytochemical luteolin has been shown to regulate various anticancer mechanisms, a role of luteolin in autophagy regulation is mostly unidentified. Here, we investigated whether luteolin exhibits its anticancer effects by induction of apoptosis and autophagy in a p53-dependent manner in colon cancer cells. Cell viability was determined using […]
Comparison of nutritional status of the infants and young children in South Korea and North Korea
출판일: 2021. 06. Abstract Purpose Previous studies have reported the difference in nutritional status between South and North Korean infants and young children (IYC). Clear understanding on the nature of such differences is essential for planning food and nutrition policies and programs to prepare for a possible re-unification of the two Koreas in future. This […]
COVID-19 and changes in Korean consumers’ dietary attitudes and behaviors
출판일: 2021. 12. Abstract BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has dramatically changed nearly every aspect of our lives. Although Dietary lifestyle includes attitudes and behaviors to meet their most basic needs, but few studies have examined the pattern of changes in dietary lifestyle driven by COVID-19. This study explores changes in dietary attitudes […]
Effect of a nutritionally balanced diet comprising whole grains and vegetables alone or in combination with probiotic supplementation on the gut microbiota
출판일: 2021. 06. 30. Abstract Dysbiosis is a microbial imbalance, which often causes diseases and can be triggered by diet. Here, we deter-mined the effect of a nutritionally balanced diet rich in vegetables and whole grains alone and/or in combination with probiotics on the gut microbiota of healthy adults. We conducted a parallel-group randomized trial […]
Black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) attenuates inflammatory markers and vascular endothelial dysfunction in Wistar rats fed a high-fat diet with fructose solution
출판일: 2021. 10. Abstract A continuous high-fat/high-fructose diet induces inflammation and lowers vascular endothelial function in the body. This research examined the effects of black raspberry (BR) powder consumption on the inflammatory response and endothelial dysfunction in rats fed with a high-fat diet and fructose solution. Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups as […]
Isolation, characterization and biosafety evaluation of Lactobacillus fermentum OK with potential oral probiotic properties
출판일: 2021. 03. Abstract It has been reported that certain probiotic bacteria have inhibitory effects against oral pathogens. Lactobacillus spp. have been studied and used as probiotics globally, but due to difficulties with laboratory cultivation and experimentation with oral microorganisms, there are few studies on Lactobacillus spp. isolated from the oral cavity being used against […]
Fucoxanthin biosynthesis has a positive correlation with the specific growth rate in the culture of microalga Phaeodactylum tricornutum
출판일: 2021. 04. Abstract In this study, the correlation between the specific growth rate of Phaeodactylum tricornutum and fucoxanthin (fucoxanthin) biosynthesis was investigated both in batch and in semi-continuous cultures. Fucoxanthin content from P. tricornutum biomass showed a positive correlation with specific growth rate during the normal culture period. The maximum yield of fucoxanthin (2.42 […]
Determination and photochemical conversion of protofagopyrins and fagopyrins in buckwheat plants
출판일: 2021. 07. Abstract This study was conducted to develop a method for analyzing protofagopyrins and fagopyrins in buckwheat extract by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry multiple reaction monitoring (UPLC-MS/MS MRM), to validate the developed method, and to determine the conversion of protofagopyrins to fagopyrins by various light sources. Protofagopyrin E (PFE), protofagopyrin […]
Sweetness profiles of glycosylated rebaudioside A and its binary mixtures with allulose and maltitol
출판일: 2021. 03. 31. Abstract Rebaudioside A is a promising natural alternative sweetener but they produce increased bitterness, astringency, and unpleasant aftertastes. Glycosylation and blending with different sweeteners are known to improve the sensory characteristics of rebaudioside A. The present study was conducted to identify the relative sweetness and sensory profile of glycosyl rebaudioside […]
