Methylated cytosine (5-methylcytosine) is the most studied epigenetic mark involved in the regulation of gene expression. Although it displays highly variable dynamics during plant ontogenesis, it is possible to gain a fine spatial perspective with immunohistochemistry techniques that use specific antibodies and fluorochromes. Besides, there are other cytosine modifications described in plants, although their biological significance is still unknown (i.e., 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-formylcytosine and 5-carboxylcytosine). Here we present a standardized protocol to detect cytosine modifications in plant tissues.

Cellulite is an aesthetically distressing skin condition occurring in 80-90% of females and manifesting as dimples and depressions, producing an uneven surface to the skin. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of combined oral consumption of two dietary supplements based on chokeberry and tart cherry juices over a period of 32 days on cellulite reduction. Twenty women aged 21-49 with a cellulite grade of 1-2 according to the Nurnberger-Muller scale were participating in the study.
