α2,6-linked sialylated oligosaccharides riched in goat milk alleviate food allergy by regulating the gut flora and mucin O-glycosylation.

The nutritious goat milk has low allergenicity. Oligosaccharides represent one of the crucial functional constituents in goat milk, which are structurally similar to human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). Currently, the anti-allergic activity of GMOs has not been reported.

Diversely regio-oxidative degradation of konjac glucomannan by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase AA10 and generating antibacterial hydrolysate.

Konjac glucomannan (KGM) hydrolysate exhibit various biological activities and health-promoting effects. Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) play an important role on enzymatic degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides to obtain fermentable sugars. It is generally accepted that LPMOs exhibits high substrate specificity and oxidation regioselectivity.

Comparative Analysis of Free and Glycoconjugates Oligosaccharide Content in Milk from Different Species.

Human milk is important for infant growth, and oligosaccharides are one of its main functional nutrients. To enable a systematic comparison of free oligosaccharide and glycoconjugate content in milk from different species, the phenol-sulfuric acid and resorcinol assays were combined to determine the content. Using real samples, the method revealed that human milk contained the highest amount of total, neutral (9.

Comparative Analysis of Human Milk Glycosphingolipids from Different Secretor Mothers Using HILIC-MS/MS.

Glycosphingolipids participate in brain development, intestinal tract maturation, and defense against gut pathogens. Here, we performed a qualitative and quantitative comparison of milk glycosphingolipids from secretors and nonsecretors. Hydrophilic interaction chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry was employed, along with an internal standard, to resolve the complications presented by the fact that glycosphingolipids are structurally diverse, varying in glycan composition and ceramide.

Qualitative and quantitative mass spectrometry comparison of characteristic galactosyl lactose isomers from goat milk at different lactation stages.

Galactooligosaccharides are composed mainly of galactosyl lactose, which is important for infant growth and as a functional food additive. Although galactosyl lactose is abundant in goat milk, its complex structure has hindered the separation and analysis of its isomers. In this study, 5 isomers of goat milk galactosyl lactose were separated by HPLC: β6'-galactosyl lactose (β6'-GL), α6'-galactosyl lactose (α6'-GL), β4'-galactosyl lactose (β4'-GL), α3'-galactosyl lactose (α3'-GL), and β3'-galactosyl lactose (β3'-GL).

Securinine Promotes Neuronal Development and Exhibits Antidepressant-like Effects via mTOR Activation.

Impaired differentiation of newborn neurons or abnormalities at the synapses resulted from stress maladaptation could be the key etiology of depression. Recent studies have shown that mTOR, a crucial factor for neuronal differentiation and synapse development, acts as a common factor that mediates the rapid antidepression effects of several new-class antidepressants. In this study, the antidepressant-like activity of securinine, an alkaloid that has central nervous system stimulation ability, was investigated.
