  6. [ASAP] Dietary Compounds To Reduce In Vivo Inorganic Arsenic Bioavailability

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • It is estimated that approximately 200 million people are exposed to arsenic levels above the World Health Organization provisional guideline value, and various agencies have indicated the need to reduce this exposure. In view of the difficulty of removing arsenic from water and food, one alternative is to reduce its bioavailability (the amount that reaches the systemic circulation after ingestion).

  17. A Historical Review on Antibiotic Resistance of Foodborne Campylobacter

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Campylobacter is one of the most commonly reported foodborne human bacterial gastrointestinal pathogens. Campylobacter is the etiological agent of campylobacteriosis, which is generally a self-limited illness and therefore does not necessitate treatment. However, when immunocompromised status and other co-morbidities necessitate antimicrobial treatment. For clinical treatment of campylobacteriosis, macrolides and fluoroquinolones are the as the drug choices.

  21. [ASAP] The Kinetics and Mechanisms for Photodegradation of Nitrated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons on Lettuce Leaf Surfaces: An In Vivo Study

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Insights into the environmental fates of nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs) in edible vegetables are of great significance for better evaluating human exposure to NPAHs through the dietary pathway. In this work, a fluorescence quenching method using graphene quantum dots as a fluorescent probe was first applied for the in vivo determination of 9-nitroanthracene (9-NAnt) and 1-nitropyrene (1-NPyr) adsorbed on the leaf surfaces of living lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) seedlings.

  22. [ASAP] Resveratrol Prevents Acrylamide-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Inflammatory Responses via Targeting Circadian Regulator Bmal1 and Cry1 in Hepatocytes

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Acrylamide, mainly formed in Maillard browning reaction during food processing, causes defects in liver circadian clock and mitochondrial function by inducing oxidative stress. Resveratrol is a polyphenol that has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. However, the preventive effects of resveratrol on acrylamide-triggered oxidative damage and circadian rhythm disorders are unclear at the current stage.
