Nutritional and Therapeutic Properties of Fermented Camel Milk Fortified with Red Chenopodium quinoa Flour on Hypercholesterolemia Rats

Quinoa is a nutrient-dense food that lowers chronic disease risk. This study evaluated the physicochemical and sensory qualities of fermented camel milk with 1, 2, 3, and 4% quinoa. The results showed that improvement in camel’s milk increased the total solids, protein, ash, fiber, phenolic content, and antioxidant activity more effectively. Fermented camel milk with 3% of quinoa flour exhibited the highest sensory characteristics compared to other treatments. Fermented camel milk enriched with 3% red quinoa flour was studied in obese rats. Forty male Wistar rats were separated into five groups: the first group served as a normal control, while groups 2–4 were fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol (HF)-diet and given 2 mL/day of fermented milk and quinoa aqueous extract. Blood glucose, malondialdehyde (MDA), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), cholesterol, triglyceride, aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatinine, and urea levels decreased dramatically in comparison to the positive control group, while high-density lipoprotein (HDL), albumin, and total protein concentrations increased significantly. Fortified fermented camel milk decreased the number of giant adipocytes while increasing the number of tiny adipocytes in the body. The results showed that the liver and renal functions of hypercholesterolemic rats were enhanced by consuming fermented milk and quinoa. These results demonstrated the ability of quinoa and camel milk to protect rats from oxidative stress and hyperlipidemia. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms behind the metabolic effects of fermented camel milk and quinoa.     

Effect of Structured Phenolic Lipids with EPA/DHA and Gallic Acid against Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) in Mice

Obesity is the leading risk factor for developing metabolic (dysfunction)-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). The food industry has an essential role in searching for new strategies to improve primary food sources to revert some of the metabolic alterations induced by obesity. There is consistent evidence that long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) belonging to the n-3 series, i.e., eicosapentaenoic (20:5n-3, EPA) and docosahexaenoic (22:6n-3, DHA) acids, could revert some alterations associated with obesity-induced metabolic diseases. A relevant tool is the synthesis of structured acylglycerols (sAG), which include EPA or DHA at the sn-2 position. On the other hand, it has been reported that a crucial role of antioxidants is the reversion of MAFLD. In this work, we studied the effects of new molecules incorporating gallic acid (GA) into EPA/DHA-rich structured lipids. Mice were fed with a high-fat diet (60%) for three months and were then divided into five groups for supplementation with sAG and sAG structured with gallic acid (structured phenolic acylglycerols, sPAG). sPAG synthesis was optimized using a 2²-screening factorial design based on the response surface methodology (RSM). Our results show that treatment of sPAG was effective in decreasing visceral fat, fasting glycemia, fasting insulin, suggesting that this new molecule has a potential use in the reversal of MAFLD-associated alterations.     

Ultrasound Assisted Synthesis and In Silico Modelling of 1,2,4-Triazole Coupled Acetamide Derivatives of 2-(4-Isobutyl phenyl)propanoic acid as Potential Anticancer Agents

The development of an economical method for the synthesis of biologically active compounds was the major goal of this research. In the present study, we have reported the ultrasound-radiation-assisted synthesis of a series of novel N-substituted 1,2,4-triazole-2-thiol derivatives. The target compounds 6a–f were efficiently synthesized in significant yields (75–89%) by coupling 1,2,4-triazole of 2-(4-isobutylphenyl) propanoic acid 1 with different electrophiles using ultrasound radiation under different temperatures. The sonication process accelerated the rate of the reaction as well as yielded all derivatives compared to conventional methods. All derivatives were confirmed by spectroscopic (FTIR, ¹HNMR, ¹³CNMR, HRMS) and physiochemical methods. All derivatives were further screened for their anticancer effects against the HepG2 cell line. Compound 6d containing two electron-donating methyl moieties demonstrated the most significant anti-proliferative activity with an IC₅₀ value of 13.004 µg/mL, while compound 6e showed the lowest potency with an IC₅₀ value of 28.399 µg/mL. The order of anticancer activity was found to be: 6d > 6b > 6f > 6a > 6c > 6e, respectively. The in silico modelling of all derivatives was performed against five different protein targets and the results were consistent with the biological activities. Ligand 6d showed the best binding affinity with the Protein Kinase B (Akt) pocket with the lowest ∆G value of −176.152 kcal/mol. Compound 6d has been identified as a promising candidate for treatment of liver cancer.     

Sustainable and Efficacy Approach of Green Synthesized Cobalt Oxide (Co3O4) Nanoparticles and Evaluation of Their Cytotoxicity Activity on Cancerous Cells

In this study, rosemary leaf extract was effectively used to synthesize cobalt oxide nanoparticles (Co₃O₄ NPs) using a rapid, low-cost, and environmentally friendly approach. The prepared Co₃O₄ NPs were examined using various analytical techniques. However, UV spectrum analysis displayed two sharp absorption peaks at ~350 and 745 nm. The dynamic light scattering and zeta potential measurements were used to evaluate the particle size and the effective stabilization of the synthetic nanoparticles in the suspensions. A semi-triangular pyramidal shape of the Co₃O₄ NPs with a wide particle-size distribution could be observed in the scanning electron microscopy images. The energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum confirmed their successful synthesis, as the experimental atomic percentages agreed with the theoretical values. Moreover, X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the synthesized Co₃O₄ NPs had a cubic crystalline structure corroborating that of theoretical Co₃O₄. Additionally, the Co₃O₄ NPs were not toxic at ≤62.5 µg/mL for Hep G2 and at ≤31.25 µg/mL for Mcf7. Therefore, these unique environmentally friendly Co₃O₄ NPs at this safe concentration could be studied in the future for their therapeutic activity.     

Rosmarinic Acid Prevents Cisplatin-Induced Liver and Kidney Injury by Inhibiting Inflammatory Responses and Enhancing Total Antioxidant Capacity,Thereby Activating the Nrf2 Signaling Pathway

Drug-induced liver and kidney damage is an emergent clinical issue that should be addressed. Rosmarinic acid (RA) has obvious anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, so we evaluated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of RA pretreatment on serum and liver and kidney tissues of cisplatin (CP)-treated mice and explored the possible mechanisms. The results showed that RA pretreatment effectively downregulated the serum, liver, and kidney levels of ALT, AST, BUN, and CRE and the inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and simultaneously enhanced the total antioxidant capacity of the liver and kidney. RA pretreatment significantly reduced the levels of MPO, MDA, and NO in liver and kidney tissue, inhibited the mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in liver and kidney tissue, activated the Nrf2 signaling pathway, and upregulated the mRNA expression of downstream target genes. Our findings show that RA could effectively prevent and alleviate acute liver and kidney injury caused by CP.     

An integrated liver,hippocampus and serum metabolomics based on UPLC–Q-TOF–MS revealed the therapeutical mechanism of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen in p-chlorophenylalanine-induced insomnia rats

Ziziphi Spinosae Semen (ZSS), a well-known herbal medicine for treating insomnia, is popular in not only China but also in Europe, India and Iran. However, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this work, taking the targeted organs of insomnia, the liver and hippocampus, as the objects, a combination metabolomics based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC–Q-TOF–MS) was established to illustrate the abnormality of metabolic characteristics of the liver, hippocampus and serum of p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA)-induced insomnia rats and to demonstrate the mechanism of ZSS in treating insomnia. The results showed that ZSS could restore the brain cell morphology, decrease the degree of hepatocyte necrosis and regulate the disturbance of neurotransmitters and hormones in insomnia rats. In terms of metabolomics, a total of 33 liver metabolites, 25 hippocampal metabolites and 18 serum metabolites were finally selected as the potential biomarkers and an important pathway of phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis was common in three tissues in PCPA rats. Meanwhile, ZSS significantly reversed the levels of 23 liver metabolites, 15 hippocampal metabolites and 5 serum metabolites. The present study demonstrates the actions of ZSS in treating insomnia by enhancing both cerebral and hepatic functions.
