Polyphenols from whole millet grain (Setaria italica) alleviate glucose and lipid homeostasis in diet-induced obese mice by increasing endogenous GLP-1.

Background: Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a whole millet grain that has been considered for improving the disorder of glucose and lipid metabolism. The purpose of the work is to explore the extraction and enrichment of polyphenols from foxtail millets which can regulate the disorder of glucose and lipid metabolism by increasing endogenous GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1).

Results: The optimum ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of foxtail millet polyphenols (FMPs) was as follows: 70 °C and 400 W and 70% ethanol concentration, further purification using macroporous resin.

A novel lncRNA 495810 promotes the aerobic glycolysis in colorectal cancer by stabilizing pyruvate kinase isozyme M2.

Aberrant expression of long non‑coding RNA (lncRNA) plays an important role in malignant progression of colon cancer and has become a new therapeutic target. In the present study, it was found that the expression of a novel lncRNA 495810 was significantly upregulated in colon cancer and correlated with poor prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. The highly expressed lncRNA 495810 promoted the proliferation and inhibited apoptosis of CRC cells.

, a Potent Probiotic, Alleviates Colitis via Acetate-Mediated IgA Response and Microbiota Restoration.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex disease characterized by relapsing episodes of inflammation of the colonic mucosa. Research into IBD suggests that this disease condition is caused by alterations in resident mucosal bacterial populations. Our previous study showed that was significantly elevated during the improvement of IBD.

Ferulic Acid and P-Coumaric Acid Synergistically Attenuate Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease through HDAC1/PPARG-Mediated Free Fatty Acid Uptake.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease and has become a growing public health concern worldwide. Polyphenols may improve high-fat diet (HFD)-related NAFLD. Our previous study found that ferulic acid (FA) and p-coumaric acid (p-CA) were the polyphenols with the highest content in foxtail millet.

Polyphenols from foxtail millet bran ameliorate DSS-induced colitis by remodeling gut microbiome.

Introduction: Polyphenols from plants possess the anti-inflammatory and gut microbiota modulated properties. Foxtail millet ( L., FM) has potential medical and nutritional functions because of rich phenolic and other phytochemical components.

The Mixture of Ferulic Acid and P-Coumaric Acid Suppresses Colorectal Cancer through lncRNA 495810/PKM2 Mediated Aerobic Glycolysis.

Polyphenol-rich foods are gaining popularity due to their potential beneficial effects in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Foxtail millet is one of the important functional foods, riches in a variety of biologically active substance. Our previous study showed that ferulic acid (FA) and p-coumaric acid (p-CA) are the main anticancer components of foxtail millet bran, and the two have a significant synergistic effect.

A sensitive electrochemical DNA sensor for detecting Helicobacter pylori based on accordion-like TiCTx: a simple strategy.

A novel electrochemical DNA sensor was designed to detect Helicobacter pylori based on accordion-like TiCT. Here the multilayer TiCT obtained by DMSO delamination was used to modify the glass carbon electrode, with a large specific surface area and excellent conductivity. Au nanoparticles were supported on the modified electrode and worked as an effective carrier to fix the capture probe (cpDNA) with sulfhydryl group through the firm binding of Au-S bond.

Kaempferol Reverses Aerobic Glycolysis via miR-339-5p-Mediated PKM Alternative Splicing in Colon Cancer Cells.

Colon cancer is an aggressive malignancy with very limited therapeutic approaches. The available therapeutic agents for colon cancer show strong adverse effects and poor effectiveness, indicating the urgent need to identify new therapeutic drugs for this malignancy. Kaempferol, a flavonoid found in a variety of natural foods, exhibits significant inhibitory effects on colon cancer.
