Article Synopsis
- Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) is a long-lasting chemical commonly found in various everyday products and is primarily ingested through food.
- A study in rats compared the effects of high-fiber (HF) versus low-fiber (LF) diets on PFOS absorption and removal from the body, finding that HF reduced PFOS levels in the bloodstream while increasing its excretion in feces.
- The findings indicate that a diet rich in soluble dietary fibers may enhance the elimination of PFOS and alter gut microbiota composition.
The Trigonella species possess medicinal, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical properties due to the presence of many bioactive compounds. Its therapeutic effects are mostly valuable in medicine, cosmetics and the functional food industry. Correct genetic characterisation of plant material is needed to increase the potential of Trigonella species by breeding and conservation programs.

Some well-known PFAS are perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCA), perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSA), and polyfluorinated telomer alcohols (FTOH). Due to the strength of the carbon-fluorine bond, PFAS are chemically very stable and highly resistant to biological degradation, posing a risk to human health and the environment.

All nonsurgical forms of cancer management are known to potentially violate the structural and functional integrity of the cardiovascular system. The prevalence and severity of cardiotoxicity and vascular abnormalities led to the emergence of a clinical subdiscipline, called cardiooncology.
