A Novel Liquid Multi-Phytonutrient Supplement Demonstrates DNA-Protective Effects

This study explored the DNA protective (anti-mutagenic) effects of an oral, liquid, multi-phytonutrient dietary supplement containing a proprietary blend of fruits, vegetables and aloe vera concentrated components in addition to a proprietary catechin complex from green tea (VIBE Cardiac & Life, Eniva Nutraceuticals, Anoka, MN; herein described as “VIBE”). This study tested the hypothesis that VIBE would reduce DNA damage in skin cells exposed to UVR. Human epidermal cells, from the cell line A431NS, were treated with 0% (control), 0.125%, 0.5%, 1% and 2% VIBE, and then exposed to 240 J/m² UVR. The amount of DNA damage was assessed using the COMET assay. At each concentration tested, a significantly smaller amount of DNA damage was measured by the COMET assay for the VIBE treated cells compared to the control cells exposed to UVR without VIBE. The dose response curves showed a maximal response at 0.5% VIBE with a threefold reduction in COMET tail density compared to the control samples without VIBE (p < 0.001). Additional research is warranted in human clinical trials to further explore the results of this study which demonstrated the DNA protective and anti-mutagenic effects of VIBE for human skin cells exposed to UVR-induced DNA damage.     

EGCG与锌离子互作对PC-3细胞能量代谢的影响

采用Hoechst33258荧光染色法观察EGCG、Zn2+和EGCG+Zn2+对前列腺癌PC-3细胞凋亡的诱导作用;采用HPLC法检测了EGCG、Zn2+和EGCG+Zn2+对PC-3细胞内腺苷酸(ATP、ADP、AMP)含量的影响,并分析了能量负荷(EC)和ATP/ADP比值。结果表明,Hoechst33258染色后正常细胞发出均匀微弱的蓝色荧光,细胞核未见异常,EGCG、Zn2+和EGCG+Zn2+处理后凋亡的PC-3细胞都发出较强的蓝色荧光,细胞核DNA断裂及染色体高度浓缩;EGCG、Zn2+及二者混合物处理后细胞内总腺苷酸含量、EC及ATP/ADP比值都下降,表明EGCG与Zn2+对PC-3细胞能量代谢都存在明显的抑制作用。

超声复合碱处理大豆蛋白与EGCG复合物功能特性研究

大豆分离蛋白(SPI)经超声复合碱处理后与表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯(EGCG)进行复合形成复合物。采用傅里叶变换红外光谱和荧光光谱对超声复合碱处理及EGCG改性的SPI结构及构象进行解析,以粒径、Zeta电位、浊度及乳化特性为指标,分析该复合体系中SPI构象改变与功能特性之间的关系。结果表明:超声复合碱处理使SPI的粒径减小、溶液电位绝对值增加、乳化性显著提高。超声复合碱处理的SPI与EGCG复合后,SPI的Zeta电位绝对值进一步显著增加,其粒径明显减小,乳化特性显著提高。光谱分析显示,超声复合碱处理以及EGCG可以改变SPI的二级结构,使蛋白链解折叠,并且改变蛋白芳香族氨基酸残基所处的微环境,使蛋白的构象发生改变。通过荧光淬灭光谱分析发现,EGCG对SPI的荧光猝灭机制为静态猝灭,SPI与EGCG之间形成了结合位点数近似于1的复合物。     

Release Kinetics of Si,Al, Fe,and Mn from Acid Soils in the Presence of EGCG

Plant polyphenols can affect soil processes. In the present study, batch experiments were conducted to study the effects of epigallocatechin gallate on the release kinetics of silicon (Si), aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn) from acid Anthrosol and Luvisol. The results indicated that the optimal model describing the release kinetics of these elements was a double constant, simple Elovich, or parabolic diffusion equation, and a first-order equation was not suitable. These elements went through an initial rapid-release phase, followed by a slower-release phase. The order of release amounts and rates for Anthrosol was Si > Al > Fe > Mn, but they were different at different phases. However, the order for Luvisol was always Al > Mn > Si > Fe. Meanwhile, the release amount and rate of every element was in the order Luvisol > Anthrosol. The results of this study could help to resolve Al and Mn toxicity in acid soils.     

琼胶寡糖及EGCG对冰藏花鲈鱼片新鲜度与蛋白质生化特性的影响

花鲈贮运期间易受微生物与内源酶的联合作用,导致新鲜度及蛋白质生化特性改变,影响其食用价值。因此,采用适当的保鲜方式对花鲈贮运流通过程中的品质变化加以调控,以保证其品质安全显得尤为重要。为探究表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯(EGCG)及琼胶寡糖(AO)对冰藏花鲈鱼片的保鲜效果,对硬度值、色差及新鲜度指标(硫代巴比妥酸值、K值、挥发性盐基氮、菌落总数、感官评分)进行测定,并对蛋白质生化特性(肌原纤维蛋白含量、二级结构、巯基、羰基含量)进行分析。结果显示,对照组在第16天时感官得分低于8,且菌落总数和K值已分别高达(6.78±0.15) lg(CFU/g)与67.37%±1.75%,不可食用,而EGCG组(EG)、琼胶寡糖组(AO)及复合组的样品仍具有较好的硬度、色泽及新鲜度。贮藏至20 d时对照组的TBA值高达(0.81±0.03) mg/kg,而EG组、AO组及复合组的TBA值在贮藏期间均未出现大幅度增加,且始终低于对照组。另外,贮藏至12 d时对照组的羰基含量已显著高于其他保鲜处理组,对照组在贮藏末期的羰基含量上升至(1.63±0.04)nmol/mg,而EG组、 AO组及复合组的羰基含量仅为(1.14±0.03)、(1.28±0.08)与(0.99±0.09) nmol/mg。贮藏末期复合组的蛋白含量、α螺旋、巯基均高于对照组和单一保鲜组。研究表明,EGCG及琼胶寡糖均能较好地维持鱼片的新鲜度,能显著抑制蛋白质变性与氧化,且二者复合后的保鲜效果优于单一保鲜剂,延长鱼片保质期至20 d以上。该研究为EGCG及琼胶寡糖的保鲜机理提供了理论基础,为开发高效的新型生物保鲜剂提供参考。
