Exogenous application of dilute hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) increases neutral lipid production in Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Exposing early stationary phase cultures of P. tricornutum to 0.25-2mM H2O2 increases the amount of neutral lipids per biomass (mg/mg) by >100% at 24h post H2O2 treatment as determined upon lipid extraction and analysis using a neutral lipid assay. H2O2 treatment increased the total levels of neutral lipids harvested up to 50%, from 64mg/L to 96mg/L, demonstrating its possible effectiveness as a pre-harvest strategy to enhance the biofuel feedstock potential of P. tricornutum. The effects of H2O2 on biomass are concentration dependent; increasing concentrations of H2O2 reduce the levels of isolated biomass. Analysis of combined stressors demonstrates that H2O2 treatment exhibits synergistic effects to enhance neutral lipid production under nitrogen-depleted, but not phosphorus-depleted conditions, suggesting that the effects of hydrogen peroxide on lipid production are influenced by environmental nitrogen levels.

The nutritional value of any food product has historically been measured by the calorific value of individual components, harking back to the days of the development of the bomb calorimeter. A fuller understanding of nutrition later took into account the need for specific components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, that ere known to be required for good human health and growth. In milk and milk products, these include casein and whey proteins, lactose, milk fat triacylglycerides, minor lipid components (both charged and neutral), calcium, and micronutrients.

Importance: Medication adherence is important for managing blood pressure (BP), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Interventions to improve medication adherence are needed.

Objective: To examine the effectiveness of an intervention using algorithmic identification of low medication adherence, clinical decision support to physicians, and pharmacist outreach to patients to improve cardiometabolic medication adherence and BP, LDL-C, and HbA1c control.

Raw pork is prone to oxidation and rancidity as it contains a high level of unsaturated lipid molecules. Reliable biomarkers to benchmark pork freshness and their formation have not been systematically investigated. The results indicated that the peroxide values, TVB-N and rancid volatiles dramatically increased in pork during the storage period (4 °C, 0-9 d).

The scarcity, unstable nutritional quality and environmental cost of imported forages in arid insular regions like Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands (Spain) need exploring sustainable local alternatives. This study evaluated the nutritional quality of twelve native and endemic plant species categorized into legumes, grasses, and a mixed group, cultivated under controlled conditions. The bromatological profiles, focusing on fiber, protein, lipids, and minerals, showed significant differences among plants in key parameters of forage quality: neutral detergent fiber (NDF; 24.
