Article Abstract

Microalgae have emerged as a storehouse of biologically active components having numerous health benefits that can be used in the formulation of nutraceuticals, and functional foods, for human consumption. Among these biologically active components, functional triacylglycerols are increasingly attracting the attention of researchers owing to their beneficial characteristics. Microalgae are excellent sources of triacylglycerol containing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and can be used by the vegan population as a replacement for fish oil. The functional triacylglycerols extracted using conventional processes have various drawbacks resulting in lower yield and inferior quality products. The non-thermal technologies are emerging as user-friendly and environment-friendly technologies that intensify the yield of final products and maintain the high purity of extracted products that can be used in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical applications. The present review focuses on major non-thermal technologies that can probably be used for the extraction of high-quality functional triacylglycerols from microalgae.

Introduction: Aging is accompanied by systemic metabolic changes that contribute to disease susceptibility and functional decline. Sex differences in aging have been reported in humans, yet their mechanistic basis remains poorly understood. Due to their physiological similarity to humans, rhesus macaques are a powerful translational model to investigate sex-specific metabolomic aging under controlled conditions.

Objective: This study evaluates cardiac function in older adults with T2DM and preserved LVEF using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography to explore the risk factors associated with subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction (GLS <18%) in this population.

Methods: All patients (n = 87, aged 60 years and above) and controls (n = 20) underwent clinical assessment and echocardiography, including GLS assessment.

Results: Univariate analysis identified gender (OR 3.

High-fat (HF) diets contribute to obesity, insulin resistance, fatty liver, gut microbiota dysbiosis, oxidative stress, and low-grade chronic inflammation. This study evaluated the preventive effects of dietary Type 2 resistant starch (RS2) from high-amylose maize and low-dose d-fagomine (FG) from buckwheat on these metabolic disturbances. Male Wistar-Kyoto rats (9-10 weeks old) were assigned to four diet groups for 10 weeks: standard (STD) diet, HF diet (45% kcal from fat), HF + RS diet (15% RS2), and HF + FG diet (0.

Background: Current scoring systems for hypertriglyceridaemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) severity are few and lack reliability. The present work focused on screening predicting factors for HTG-SAP, then constructing and validating the visualization model of HTG-AP severity by combining relevant metabolic indexes.

Methods: Between January 2020 and December 2024, retrospective clinical information for HTG-AP inpatients from Weifang People's Hospital was examined.
