Comparison of Vegetable Waste Byproducts of Selected Cultivars of Foeniculum vulgare Mill. by an Integrated LC-(HR)MS and H-NMR-Based Metabolomics Approach.

Introduction: The metabolome of plants is influenced by various factors, especially environmental, as the season in which they are grown. So, distinct varieties of the identical plant might show an increase or decrease in metabolites. The diversity of content of primary and secondary metabolites can also determine the variation in their biological properties.

Phenotypes and Serum Biomarkers in Sarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease, which is diagnosed on a compatible clinical presentation, non-necrotizing granulomatous inflammation in one or more tissue samples, and exclusion of alternative causes of granulomatous disease. Considering its heterogeneity, numerous aspects of the disease remain to be elucidated. In this context, the identification and integration of biomarkers may hold significance in clinical practice, aiding in appropriate selection of patients for targeted clinical trials.

Treatment with dapagliflozin increases FGF-21 gene expression and reduces triglycerides content in myocardial tissue of genetically obese mice.

Background: The association between obesity and some cardiovascular complications such as heart failure (HF) is well established, and drugs affecting adiposity are supposed to be promising treatments for these conditions. The sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are antidiabetic drugs showing benefits in patients with HF, despite the underlying mechanisms have not been completely understood yet. SGLT2i are supposed to promote systemic effects, such as triglycerides mobilization, through the enhancement of fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) activity.

Metabolite Profiling, through LC-ESI/LTQOrbitrap/MS Analysis, of Antioxidant Extracts from L.

Due to the increasing use of L. as a food supplement and starting material for tea preparation, a comprehensive analysis of green extracts was performed. Two different extraction methods were applied to yellow L.
