The postbiotic potential of - a narrative review.

The filamentous fungus has a long tradition in East Asian food processing. It is therefore not surprising that in recent years fermentation products of have attracted attention in the emerging field of postbiotics. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the potential postbiotic effects of fermentation products from , by discussing possible mechanisms of action against the background of the molecular composition determined so far.

Fat Quality Impacts the Effect of a High-Fat Diet on the Fatty Acid Profile, Life History Traits and Gene Expression in .

Feeding a high-fat diet (HFD) has been shown to alter phenotypic and metabolic parameters in . However, the impact of fat quantity and quality remains uncertain. We first used butterfat (BF) as an example to investigate the effects of increasing dietary fat content (3-12%) on male and female fruit flies.

An aqueous extract of the brown alga extends lifespan in a sex-specific manner by interfering with the Tor-FoxO axis.

Food has a decisive influence on our health, to the extent where even lifespan can be directly affected by it. In the present work, we have examined the effects of an aqueous extract of the marine brown alga Eisenia bicyclis in terms of its potential to extend lifespan. For this purpose, we used the fruit fly melanogaster as a model.

Boron Contents of German Mineral and Medicinal Waters and Their Bioavailability in Drosophila melanogaster and Humans.

Scope: Boron is a trace element that naturally occurs in soil, making mineral and medicinal water important contributors to overall intake. Thus, in a systematic screening, the mean boron concentrations of 381 German mineral and medicinal waters are determined.

Methods And Results: Boron concentrations in mineral and medicinal waters are analyzed by inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
