Maternal low protein diet around pregnancy reduces the primordial follicles in offspring ovary. Resolving cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with low protein diet is therefore urgently needed for the guidance of dietary interventions. Here, we utilized single-cell and spatial RNA-seq to create transcriptomic atlases of offspring ovaries from maternal low protein diet mice. Analysis of cell type specific low protein diet associated transcriptional changes revealed increased unfolded protein and decreased oxidative phosphorylation defense as a hallmark of low protein diet effects. Altered pathways included hedgehog signaling in granulosa cells, BMP signaling in theca cells and PTN signaling in early theca cells. Notably, the disordered follicular cell function and ovarian microenvironment may closely corelated with decreased follicular number and quality. Collectively, our findings depict the transcriptomic atlases of the offspring ovary derived from maternal low protein diet group and provide candidate molecular mechanisms underlying the complex ovarian cell changes conferred by low protein diet.

A highly sensitive and rapid LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the quantification of dexamethasone in rat plasma and brain tissue. Protein precipitation method was used for sample preparation. The separation of dexamethasone and the IS (labetalol) was achieved on an Atlantis dC column using an isocratic mobile phase (10 mM ammonium formate and acetonitrile, 25/75, v/v) delivered at 0.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is now diagnosed biologically. Since subjective cognitive decline (SCD) may indicate preclinical AD, assessing AD-biomarkers is crucial. We investigated cognitive and neurodegenerative trajectories in SCD over 24 months based on biomarker positivity, and evaluated the predictive value of plasma biomarkers.

Background: Fish allergy affects children and adults worldwide and there are transient and persistent phenotypes.

Objective: We aimed to analyze persistence, severity and reactivity thresholds in challenge-confirmed fish allergic patients sensitized to parvalbumin.

Methods: Patients 12-65 years-old reporting immediate reactions to fish, with fish skin prick test ≥5 mm and IgE to cod and carp β-parvalbumins ≥0.

In this study, a novel acid-induced heat-set soy protein hydrolysate (SPH) gel was successfully developed. The effects of protein (7 and 8 wt%) and glucono-δ-lactone (GDL, 4, 6, 8, and 10 wt%) concentrations on its aggregation and gelation behaviors were investigated by evaluating the structural, rheological, textural, and physical properties of the SPH gel. The structural properties revealed that GDL promoted the formation of SPH aggregates and gels, primarily via disulfide bonds and hydrophobic interactions, which were closely related to the unfolding of the protein structure, exposed hydrophobic groups, decreased protein solubility, and increased particle size and turbidity during the heating process.

Improving the catalytic efficiency and recyclability of immobilized enzyme remained a serious challenge in industrial applications. Enzyme immobilization in the amorphous zeolite imidazolate framework (aZIF) preserved high enzyme activity, but still faced separation difficulties and a low catalytic efficiency in practice. In this study, a one-pot co-precipitation method was used to form the enzyme-aZIF/magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) biocomposite by rapidly precipitating snailase (Sna) and β-glucosidase (β-G) with metal/ligand on MNP and modifying with L-aspartic acid (Asp).
