The effects of dietary vitamin D supplementation and in vitro 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 treatment on autophagy in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells from high fat diet-induced obese mice.
출판일: 2021.10.14 Abstract Obesity is associated with the dysregulation of vitamin D metabolism and altered immune responses in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs). Vitamin D can affect the differentiation, maturation, and activation of dendritic cells (DCs) and regulate autophagy via vitamin D receptor signaling. Autophagy was shown to be involved in the functions of DCs. We investigated the effects of dietary […]

IDO1 scavenges reactive oxygen species in myeloid-derived suppressor cells to prevent graft-versus-host disease
출판일: 2020.06.01 Abstract Tryptophan-catabolizing enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) also has an immunological function to suppress T cell activation in inflammatory circumstances, including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a fatal complication after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT). Although the mononuclear cell expression of IDO1 has been associated with improved outcomes in GVHD, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. […]
Probiotic Supplementation Improves Cognitive Function and Mood with Changes in Gut Microbiota in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Trial
출판일: 2020.04.17 Abstract Probiotics have been proposed to ameliorate cognitive impairment and depressive disorder via the gut-brain axis in patients and experimental animal models. However, the beneficial role of probiotics in brain functions of healthy older adults remains unclear. Therefore, a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled multicenter trial was conducted to determine the effects of probiotics […]
Analysis of glucosinolates and their metabolites from napa cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. Pekinensis) and napa cabbage kimchi using UPLC-MS/MS
출판일: 20201231 Abstract In this study, we analyzed glucosinolates and their metabolites in the inner and outer parts of napa cabbage (NC; Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis) and napa cabbage kimchi (NKC) using UPLC-ESI-MS/MS. In the extracts from NC and NKC, glucobrassicanapin (m/z 386), glucoalyssin (m/z 450), glucobrassicin (m/z 447), 4-methoxyglucobrassicin (m/z 477), and neoglucobrassicin (m/z 477) […]
