1,2-Diacetylbenze (CHO, DAB) is a potential inducer or activator of toxic mechanisms. DAB exerts high absorption by the gastrointestinal tract and high blood-brain barrier penetration. However, only the effects of DAB on the central nervous system were reported, with a dearth of evidence of DAB's effects on the liver, which is more susceptible to toxic substances.

Converging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory effects of B vitamins on cognitive impairment, but the effects of B vitamins on cognitive impairment induced by DAB remain unclear. Here, we investigated the anti-inflammatory properties of B vitamins in DAB-stimulated human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.

However, electricity consumed in refrigeration processes has an economical and an environmental impact. This study focuses on the cold chain of cooked ham, including transport, cold room in supermarket, display cabinet, transport by consumer, and domestic refrigerator, and aims to predict the risk for human health associated with Listeria monocytogenes, the amount of food wasted due to the growth of spoilage bacteria, and the electrical consumption to maintain product temperature through the cold chain.
