Indole derivatives produced by these bacteria can then compensate for the lack of endogenously produced AhR ligands, reflecting an interesting mutualistic balance between the needs of microbiome and host (Zelante et al., 2013). The pathophysiological relevance of microbiome-derived AhR ligands is ...
Although the risk of acute toxicity from undercooking meat (food poisoning) is likely a greater risk than toxin exposure from overcooking it, there are ways to reduce toxin production during meat preparation: avoid direct exposure of meat to open flame or hot metal surfaces; cook meat at or ...
Nature’s answer to estrogen dominance is a compound called diindolylmethane (DIM). DIM comes from indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which is found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. DIM helps the body detoxify bad estrogens and also prevents good estrogens and other helpful hormones, l...
The worldwide emergence of antibiotic resistance poses a serious threat to human health. A molecular understanding of resistance strategies employed by bacteria is obligatory to generate less-susceptible antibiotics. Albicidin is a highly potent antibact
The skin is the interface between the organism and the external environment, acting as its first barrier. Thus, this organ is constantly challenged by physical stimuli such as UV and infrared radiation, visible light, and temperature as well as chemicals and pathogens. To counteract the deleterious...
is sensitive to its local microenvironment, changes of pH and ions, could influence FRET determination, and thus this must be considered when comparing the lifetime distributions in different regions of a cell or tissue. Additionally, multiple lifetimes components can be detectedin plantafrom auto-...
undatus. As Ascomycota is the most widely studied microbial group in terms of pigment production [52], filamentous ascomycetes fungi have been confirmed as a source of natural pigments. For instance, fungal genera such as Aspergillus and Penicillium belong to Ascomycota; they can produce natural ...
Indole alkaloids are particularly abundant in fungi, especially among Ascomycota. Most indole alkaloids are derived from L-tryptophan, which is the indole donor [56]. Among fungal indole alkaloids, ergot alkaloids synthetized by Claviceps purpurea are the best understood as its biosynthesis pathway is...
Overall, it is clear how all the samples are similar and consequently how the packaging protection does not cause a significant change on the volatiles detected, but only has an influence in the abundance level of several of them. This result was validated using the statistical analysis of ANOVA...
The majority of Trp is absorbed in the small intestine. A small portion can reach the colon, where it can be used by commensal bacteria. In humans, three Trp pathways are generally described: The kynurenine pathway, the indole pathway, and the serotonin pathway. Serotonin (also known as ...
