Nine compounds including a new A-type proanthocyanidin trimer, epicatechin-(2β→O→7,4β→8)-[catechin-(6→4β)]-epicatechin (8), and a known trimer, epicatechin-(4β→8)-epicatechin-(2β→O→7,4β→8)-catechin (9), being reported for peanut skin for the first time, were isolated and purified. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods and by degradation reactions with L-cysteine in acidic conditions. The DPPH radical scavenging activity and the inhibitory activity on maltase and sucrase of the isolated compounds were investigated. All compounds showed strong DPPH scavenging activities (EC₅₀ < 20 μg/mL). Compound 8 showed the strongest inhibitory activity on maltase with an IC₅₀ value of 0.088 mg/mL, while compound 9 exhibited the strongest inhibition on sucrase with an IC₅₀ value of 0.091 mg/mL.

Maternal supplementation with α-tocopherol inhibits the development of offspring food allergy, H1R signaling and ultimately anaphylaxis early in life.

Food allergy has had a rapid rise in prevalence, and thus it is important to identify approaches to limit the development of food allergy early in life. Because maternal dietary supplementation with α-tocopherol (α-T), an isoform of vitamin E, during pregnancy and nursing increases neonate plasma levels of α-T and can limit neonate development of other allergies, we hypothesized that α-T can limit development of food allergy. To assess this, male mice with mutations in their skin barrier genes (FT-/- mice) were mated with wild-type females that received a diet supplemented with α-tocopherol or a control diet.

Food allergy can be life threatening and often develops early in life, especially in infants and children with atopic dermatitis. Food allergy is induced in neonatal mice with skin barrier mutations (Flaky Tail, FT+/- mice with filaggrin and mattrin gene mutations) by epicutaneous sensitization with co-exposures to the food allergen peanut extract (PNE), the environmental allergen Alternaria alternata (Alt), and detergent (4% SDS); oral PNE-challenge induces anaphylaxis. Sensitization in these neonates also induces eosinophil infiltration into the skin and elevates skin expression of eotaxins (CCL11 and CCL24).

Introduction: Hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) to colecalciferol (vitamin D) have been rarely reported and the mechanism is unknown. As an alternative treatment was not recommended for vitamin D deficiency, a desensitization protocol with colecalciferol can be performed. We found that there is no standard desensitization protocol for vitamin D.

Background: Peanut allergy accounts for 25% of food allergic children, but current testing has a poor positive predictive value (PPV) and low accuracy, with peanut allergy over-diagnoses estimated to be greater than 60% in clinical settings. New methods for peanut allergy diagnosis via Bead-Based Epitope Assay (BBEA) testing with Ara h 2.008 and Ara h 2.
