AI Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess lycopene intake among 100 women in Central Poland across different age groups (<30, 30-50, >50 years), with an average age of 49 years.
- - Conducted in June-July 2006 using 4-day dietary records, results showed the youngest group had the lowest lycopene intake (4.17 mg/day) while the oldest had the highest (4.88 mg/day).
- - Main sources of lycopene were identified as tomato products (50.6%) and fresh tomatoes (43.5%), with fruit contributing only minimally; the intake from these sources varied significantly by age, particularly for tomatoes and related products.
Article Abstract
The aim of the study was to estimate dietary intake of lycopene by the group of 100 women, from Central Poland, in different age <30 years, 30-50 years, >50 years (mean age 49 +/- 16 years) and main sources of lycopene. The study was carried out in the year 2006 (June-July) with the use of 4-day dietary food records. The lowest intake of lycopene was noted in the youngest group--4.17 mg/person/day, the highest intake in the oldest group--4.88 mg/person/day. The main sources of lycopene in food rations were tomato products (50.6%) and fresh tomatoes (43.5%). Tropical fruit delivered 5.2% of lycopene, other fruit and vegetable juices only 0.7%. Intakes of products, sources of lycopene, depended on age of women and were statistically significant in case of tomato, watermelon, pink grapefruit, and tomato products: ketchup, liquid tomato sauces, liquid tomato soups, tomato juice.

Background: The marine environment boasts distinctive physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. While numerous studies have delved into the microbial ecology and biological potential of the marine environment, exploration of genetically encoded, deep-sea sourced secondary metabolites remains scarce. This study endeavors to investigate marine bioproducts derived from deep-sea water samples at a depth of 1,000 m in the Java Trench, Indonesia, utilizing both culture-dependent and whole-genome sequencing methods.

Background: Previous researches have demonstrated an association between carotenoids and elongated telomeres. Nonetheless, there is scant scientific evidence examining this relationship in individuals who are overweight or obese, a demographic more predisposed to accelerated aging. This study aims to elucidate the correlation between serum carotenoid concentrations and telomere length within this population group.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) waste is of low degradability in nature, and its mismanagement threatens numerous ecosystems. To combat the accumulation of waste PET in the biosphere, PET bio-upcycling, which integrates chemical pretreatment to produce PET-derived monomers with their microbial conversion into value-added products, has shown promise. The recently discovered Rhodococcus jostii RPET strain can metabolically degrade terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol (EG) as sole carbon sources, and it has been developed into a microbial chassis for PET upcycling.
