The essence of this study was to investigate the metabolic responses of heart tissues of carpet-shell clam Ruditapes decussatus after exposure to two doses (0.2 and 1 g/L) of Roundup(®) during 24 and 72 h. The main metabolic changes after Roundup(®) exposure were related to disturbance in energy metabolism and metabolic biomarkers such as alanine, succinate, acetate and propionate, suggesting the occcurence of anaerobiosis and the impairment of oxydative metabolism. Results showed also that peak intensities of amino acids used as biomarker of anaerobiosis in molluscs are time and dose dependent. In the opposite, phosphoarginine and ATP level are dependent to Roundup(®) concentration rather than to the time of exposure. We suggest that changes in energy demands require adjustements in the forward arginine kinase reaction rate. Therefore, the results demonstrate the high applicability of HRMAS NMR to elucidate the mechanism of toxicity of Roundup(®). In addition, (31)P HRMAS NMR appeared to be an effective and simple method to follow bioaccumulation of Roundup(®) formulation.

Small molecules are essential for investigating the pharmacology of membrane proteins and remain the most common approach for therapeutically targeting them. However, most experimental small molecule screening methods require ligands containing radiolabels or fluorescent labels and often involve isolating proteins from their cellular environment. Additionally, most conventional screening methods are suited for identifying compounds with moderate to higher affinities ( < 1 μM) and are less effective at detecting lower affinity compounds, such as weakly binding molecular fragments.

High Resolution-Magic Angle Spinning (HR-MAS) solid-state NMR spectroscopy is finding increasing application in the analysis of solid foods, bypassing the need for complicated solvent extraction procedures. In the present protocol, we report a simple analytical approach based on HR-MAS NMR spectroscopy for the phenolic profiling of olive fruits, flesh, or skin. This approach allows the facile characterization of phenolic compounds in olive fruits cultivated for extra-virgin olive oil production as a function of maturation and variety, in addition to processing technology for table olives.

In this work, the mechanical properties of hydrogels based on linear polyethyleneimine (PEI) chemically crosslinked with ethyleneglycoldiglycidyl ether (EGDE) were improved by the ionic crosslinking with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP). To this end, the quaternization of the nitrogen atoms present in the PEI structure was conducted to render a network with a permanent positive charge to interact with the negative charges of TPP. The co-crosslinking process was studied by H high-resolution magic angle spinning (H HRMAS) NMR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in combination with organic elemental analysis and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Despite its notoriously mild phenotype, the dystrophin-deficient mdx mouse is the most common model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). By mimicking a human DMD-associated metabolic comorbidity, hyperlipidemia, in mdx mice by inactivating the apolipoprotein E gene (mdx-ApoE) we previously reported severe myofiber damage exacerbation via histology with large fibro-fatty infiltrates and phenotype humanization with ambulation dysfunction when fed a cholesterol- and triglyceride-rich Western diet (mdx-ApoE). Herein, we performed comparative lipidomic and metabolomic analyses of muscle, liver and serum samples from mdx and mdx-ApoE mice using solution and high-resolution-magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) H-NMR spectroscopy.

Article Synopsis
- - Hydrogels made from hyaluronic acid and agarose-carbomer are being studied for their potential to simultaneously deliver multiple drugs for different diseases, thanks to their biocompatibility and unique 3D structure.
- - The study focuses on how ethosuximide and sodium salicylate interact and diffuse within these hydrogels, using advanced techniques like NMR Spectroscopy to analyze their transport properties.
- - Findings suggest that when both drugs are loaded together, they behave similarly in their diffusion patterns, which may be influenced by drug-drug interactions, leading to a proposed trapping-release mechanism that affects how the drugs are released from the hydrogels.
