Comprehensive Characterization of Raw and Processed Quinoa from Conventional and Organic Farming by Label-Free Shotgun Proteomics.

Quinoa is widely recognized for its exceptional nutritional properties, particularly its complete protein content. This study, for the first time, investigates the effects of processing methods (boiling and extrusion) and farming conditions (conventional and organic) on the proteomic profile. Following a label-free shotgun proteomics approach, a total of 1796 proteins were identified and quantified across all quinoa samples.

A comprehensive investigation of Clerodendrum Infortunatum Linn. using LC-QTOF-MS/MS metabolomics as a promising anti-alzheimer candidate.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) poses a global health challenge, demanding innovative approaches for effective treatments. Clerodendrum infortunatum Linn. (Lamiaceae) is a shrub traditionally used as a medicinal plant to treat inflammation, skin diseases, and bronchitis.

Synergy of Analytical Characterization and Biocompatible Extractions for the Enhancement of High-Quality Biorefinery Products from .

This study presents the development of an analytical characterization strategy tailored to end products derived from an alfalfa ()-based biorefinery with particular emphasis on protein concentrates and phenolic-enriched fractions. Our approach began with a comprehensive full-factorial experimental design aimed at optimizing the extraction process, taking care to design a biocompatible extraction protocol. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) techniques were used to characterize the molecular profile of the extracts.

Cognitive-enhancing effect of fruit on scopolamine-induced cognitive impairment in rats: metabolite profiling, , and investigations.

Many plants are reported to enhance cognition in amnesic-animal models. The metabolite profile of fruit methanolic extract (CDFME) was characterized by LC-QTOF-MS/MS, and its total phenolics content (TPC) and total flavonoids content (TFC) were determined. In parallel, its cognitive-enhancing effect on scopolamine (SCOP)-induced AD in rats was evaluated.

Patient demographics and psychotropic medication prescribing in Australian general practices: pre- and during COVID-19 pandemic.

Introduction Mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and psychological distress in the adult population significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the rates of prescribing psychotropic medications in adults during the COVID-19 period have not been well explored. Aim The aim of this study was to examine the association between demographic characteristics and rates of prescribing psychotropic medications to general practice patients during 2018-2022.
