Chiral nonracemic γ-seleno-α,β-ethylenic esters, when treated with sulfuryl chloride and ethyl vinyl ether in hexanes, produced α-chloro-β,γ-ethylenic esters in 65-75% yields, with ee values of 95-97%, and with 1,3-syn transfer of chirality. Reaction of these allylic chloride electrophiles with methylcuprate and with sodium azide nucleophiles afforded exclusively γ-substituted-α,β-ethylenic esters with faithful anti-transfer of chirality on multigram scale.

Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to provide an opinion on the safety of a change of the specifications of the authorised NF 'phytosterols/phytostanols' as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. This authorised NF concerns phytosterols extracted from plants and which may be presented as free sterols and stanols or esterified with food grade fatty acids. It has to contain less than 81% β-sitosterol, less than 35% β-sitostanol, less than 40% campesterol, less than 15% campestanol, less than 30% stigmasterol and less than 3% brassicasterol.

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is the main carrier of cholesterol and cholesteryl ester in circulation. High plasma levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) are a major risk factor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). LDL-C lowering is recommended by many guidelines for the prevention and treatment of ASCVD.

Obesity is considered an epidemic often accompanied by insulin resistance (IR). Heat treatment (HT) has been shown to prevent high-fat diet-induced IR in skeletal muscle, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In this study, we discovered that high temperature alleviated the hallmarks of obesity by promoting glycogen synthesis and lowering blood glucose levels in skeletal muscle tissue (SMT).

Understanding sex disparities in modifiable risk factors across the lifespan is essential for crafting individualized intervention strategies. We aim to investigate age-related sex disparity in cardiometabolic phenotypes in a large nationwide Chinese cohort. A total of 254,670 adults aged 40 years or older were selected from a population-based cohort in China.
