, one of the world's oldest distilled liquors, is widely consumed globally and has gained increasing popularity in East Asia. However, a comprehensive understanding of the underlying principles behind this traditional liquor product remains elusive. Currently, is facing the industrial challenge of modernization and standardization, particularly in terms of food quality, safety, and sustainability.

Scope: Oral food challenges (OFCs) are currently the gold standard for determining the clinical reactivity of food allergy (FA) but are time-consuming, expensive, and risky. To screen novel peripheral biomarkers of FA and characterize the aberrant lipid metabolism in serum, 24 rats are divided into four groups: peanut, milk, and shrimp allergy (PA, MA, and SA, respectively) and control groups, with six rats in each group, and used for widely targeted lipidomics and transcriptomics analysis.

Methods And Results: Widely targeted lipidomics reveal 144, 162, and 206 differentially accumulated lipids in PA, MA, and SA groups, respectively.

Peanuts are prone to trigger allergic reactions with high mortality rate. There is currently no effective way to prevent peanut allergy. In order to reduce the allergy risk of peanuts, it's significant to reduce sensitization of peanut prior to ingestion.

Background: Peanut allergy (PA) has become a clinical and public health problem, which is mainly regulated by genetics, immune responses, and environmental factors. Diagnosis and treatment for PA have always remained huge challenges due to its multiple triggers. Studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in the development of allergic diseases.

Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a polyphenol prevalent in daily food and plants. Food allergy (FA) can lead to metabolic disorders of the immune system. The objective of this study was to investigate CGA therapeutic effect on FA and regulatory mechanism through shrimp food allergy in mice models.

Food allergies (FA), a major public health problem recognized by the World Health Organization, affect an estimated 3%-10% of adults and 8% of children worldwide. However, effective treatments for FA are still lacking. Recent advances in glycoimmunology have demonstrated the great potential of sialic acids (SAs) in the treatment of FA.

There is no universally accepted uniform research to classify the severity of allergic reactions triggered by different food allergens. We established a food allergy model based on repeated intragastric administrations of proteins from peanut, egg, milk, or soybean mixed with cholera toxin followed by oral food challenges with a high dose of the sensitizing proteins. Increased specific IgE, specific IgG1, allergic symptom scores, histamine, murine mast cell proteases-1, vascular leakage, Th2 cytokines, and mast cell infiltration in the lungs and intestine were found in the allergic groups enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, hematoxylin-eosin, and toluidine blue staining.

Shrimp allergy (SA) is pathological type 2 inflammatory immune responses against harmless shrimp protein allergen, which is caused by complex interactions between dendritic cells (DCs) and other immune cells. Lipid metabolism in different DCs states are significantly changed. However, the lipid metabolism of spleen DCs in SA remain ambiguous.

Introduction: The increase in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and food allergy leads to an assumption that the 2 are related. This study aims to (1) systematic verification of HFD-induced obesity aggravates food allergy and (2) explore the correlation and molecular mechanisms of HFD-induced obesity promotes food allergy.

Methods: Female BALB/c mice are divided into the control group (control), the ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized group (OVA), the HFD-induced obesity group (HFD), and HFD-induced allergic obesity group (HFD + OVA).

Type 1 allergies, involve a complex interaction between dendritic cells and other immune cells, are pathological type 2 inflammatory immune responses against harmless allergens. Activated dendritic cells undergo extensive phenotypic and functional changes to exert their functions. The activation, differentiation, proliferation, migration, and mounting of effector reactions require metabolic reprogramming.

Aims: Epidemiology shows that gender affects the incidence of food allergy. However, there is a lack of evidence of gender differences in food allergies and little is known about the mechanisms. The aim of this study was to excavate potential reasons for gender differences in food allergy based on estrogen.

Aims: Cholera toxin is often used to induce food allergies. However, its exact mode of action and effect remain ambiguous. In this study, we established a BALB/c mouse cholera toxin/ovalbumin-induced food allergy model to determine the molecular basis and signaling mechanisms of the immune regulation of cholera toxin during food allergy.
