Article Abstract
Quinoa is one of the gluten-free crops that has attracted considerable interest. Quinoa contains functional ingredients such as bioactive peptides, polysaccharides, saponins, polyphenols, flavonoids and other compounds. It is very important to determine efficient methods to identify such functional ingredients, and to explain their possible health benefits in humans. In this review, the chemical structure and biological activity mechanisms of quinoa nutrient composition have been elaborated. In addition, the development of quinoa-based functional foods and feed is emerging, providing a reference for the development of functional products with quinoa as an ingredient that are beneficial to health. The active ingredients in quinoa have different health effects including antioxidant, antidiabetic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity activities. Further exploration is also needed to improve the application of quinoa within the functional food industry, and in the areas of feed, medicine and cosmetics.

Blood meal modulates midgut bacterial community structure and metabolic function in Aedes albopictus.
Comp Biochem Physiol Part D Genomics Proteomics
September 2025
Chinese PLA Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing, China. Electronic address:
The transmission of mosquito-borne diseases is intrinsically linked to mosquito blood-feeding behavior, yet the metabolic adaptations of the midgut microbiota in response to blood meals remain poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize the structural and functional changes in the midgut microbiota of Aedes albopictus following blood feeding and to elucidate their potential physiological implications. In this study, we employed 16S rRNA gene amplification coupled with PacBio Sequel II sequencing to characterize shifts in the midgut microbiota of Aedes albopictus before and after blood feeding on mice.

Genetic predisposition, inflammation, and oxidative stress are known contributors to the development of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). While genetic factors are non-modifiable, lifestyle, nutritional factors and oxidative stress may represent areas for intervention. This study aimed to assess biochemical markers of oxidative stress and evaluate dietary intake in women with newly diagnosed HT, identified through population-based screening.

Eutrophication in semi-enclosed coastal systems remains a persistent concern due to restricted water circulation and continuous nutrient inputs. To better characterize nutrient-driven water quality degradation, we applied a threshold-based analysis to seasonal monitoring data collected from Masan Bay, South Korea, between 2010 and 2015. Eutrophication status was assessed using a composite Eutrophication Index (EI) integrating chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP).

In the last decades, immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment. Despite its success, a significant number of patients fail to respond, and the underlying causes of ineffectiveness remain poorly understood. Factors such as nutritional status and body composition are emerging as key predictors of immunotherapy outcomes.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a rising health issue linked to poor diet and gut microbiota dysbiosis. The Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet, high in polyphenols and anti-inflammatory nutrients, may help protect against MASLD. This study examined how adherence to the MIND diet relates to MASLD severity, focusing on hepatic steatosis, fibrosis, insulin resistance, inflammation, and gut microbiota diversity.
