There is limited information on the effect of fruits on human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 activity. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of fruit juice on CYP2C9-mediated drug metabolism. Nine citrus fruits and eight tropical fruits were chosen. We investigated effects of the fruits on diclofenac 4'-hydroxylation and tolbutamide hydroxylation by human liver microsomes. Among the fruits, pineapple juice showed potent inhibition of CYP2C9 activity. The addition of 25 microl (5.0% v/v) of pineapple juice resulted in almost complete inhibition. Next we examined the inhibitory effect of bromelain, a cysteine protease in pineapple. Bromelain also strongly inhibited CYP2C9 activity. In addition, E-64, a cysteine protease inhibitor, almost entirely blocked inhibition by pineapple juice and bromelain. Thus we found that pineapple juice was a potent inhibitor of CYP2C9, and that the inhibitory effect might be due to the bromelain contained in pineapple.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how different types and frequencies of beverage consumption relate to erectile dysfunction (ED) in American men, using data from the NHANES 2003-2004.
- The results showed that men who consume grape juice regularly (5 or more times a week) had a significantly lower likelihood of experiencing ED, especially in those over 40 years old.
- While grape juice was the most notable beverage linked to reduced ED prevalence, other beverages like tomato, orange, and soft drinks also showed initial correlations with ED.

Background: The widespread use of pesticides for the protection of fruits has resulted in the presence of pesticide residue levels beyond their limit in fruits. This ensures their transfer to processed products, such as juices, posing a threat to human health. Therefore, an efficient and selective method is required for monitoring pesticide residues in fruit juices.

Recent research in patients with functionally univentricular hearts (UVH) is focusing on pathologies of the lymphatic vessels. Morphology of the abdominal lymphatic vessels was analyzed by MRI in patients with UVH following total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) and it was examined, if clinical and laboratory parameters correlate with changes after TCPC. We prospectively examined 33 patients at the age of 19.

In this study, a pineapple-starch-xanthan gum system was prepared using fresh pineapple juice, maize starch, and xanthan gum (XG). The feasibility of using low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) to predict pineapple gels' rheological properties and printability was evaluated. Results indicated that as maize starch and XG increased, the gel transformed from unable to support printed models to a stable shape, eventually becoming too viscous for printing.
