  5. [ASAP] Acrylamide Defects the Expression Pattern of the Circadian Clock and Mitochondrial Dynamics in C57BL/6J Mice Liver and HepG2 Cells

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Circadian rhythm helps organisms adapt to their environment and control a variety of physiological and metabolic processes. Acrylamide is a toxic compound that can be produced during food processing. The aim of this research is to investigate whether the circadian clock is involved in the toxicity mechanisms of acrylamide in mice liver.

  9. [ASAP] Eugenol Confers Cadmium Tolerance via Intensifying Endogenous Hydrogen Sulfide Signaling in Brassica rapa

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Eugenol, a plant-derived small compound, shows great medicinal potential. However, whether and how eugenol regulates crop physiology remains elusive. Here we reported that eugenol induced Cd (cadmium) tolerance in the root of Brassica rapa. Roots were treated with eugenol and CdCl2 simultaneously (eugenol + Cd) or pretreated with eugenol followed by CdCl2 treatment (eugenol → Cd).

  11. [ASAP] Melamine-Induced Decomposition and Anti-FRET Effect from a Self-Assembled Complex of Rhodamine 6G and DNA-Stabilized Silver Nanoclusters Used for Dual-Emitting Ratiometric and Naked-Eye-Visible Fluorescence Detection

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • In this work, blue-emitting silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) were prepared in a matrix of single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) on the basis of ambient hydrothermal reactions. DNA acted as the stabilizer or coating agent, and NaBH4 was used as the reducing agent. Through the interactions between rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) and the synthesized DNA-AgNCs, the self-assembled complex of DNA-AgNC–Rh6G was generated.

  12. Bisphenol A: Food Exposure and Impact on Human Health

    • Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety

    • Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial compound used extensively to produce synthetic polymers, such as epoxy resins, which are incorporated into the inner coating of metal cans, and also to manufacture polycarbonates with applications in bottles, including bottles of water. Several studies have reported on the transfer of this compound to food.
