Published: June 2017

In this study, we determined the vitamin B content of commercially available century eggs (pidan) and characterized their vitamin B compositions in detail. The egg yolk and white of century eggs (each 100 g wet weight) contained 1.9±0.6 and 0.8±0.3 μg of vitamin B, respectively. The vitamin B compounds purified from the egg yolk and white were identified as vitamin B using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/tandem mass spectrometry. The vitamin B present in the yolk or white of century eggs was recovered completely in macromolecular fractions, but not in free vitamin B fractions by Sephadex G-50 gel filtration. However, with respect to the vitamin B bound to protein in the century egg yolk, approximately 52% of the free vitamin B was formed during in vitro gastric digestion and no free vitamin B was detected in the egg white.

Introduction: Substance use disorders, particularly alcohol use disorders, represent a significant public health problem, with adolescents particularly vulnerable to their adverse effects. This study examined the possible anxiolytic and antidepressant effects of biotin, a crucial vitamin for brain function, in attenuating the behavioral and neurobiological changes associated with alcohol withdrawal in adolescent rats.

Materials And Methods: Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to a 20% ethanol solution for 21 days, followed by a 21-day drug-free period to assess long-term behavioral and physiological changes.

Colorectal cancer, the third most common cancer globally, causes over 900,000 deaths annually. Although vitamin D is observed to have potential anti-carcinogenic properties, research findings on its preventable effect against colorectal cancer remain inconclusive. Notably, different subsites within the colon and rectum may be associated with distinct risk factors.
