AI Article Synopsis
- The study compared various treatments of leaf-spraying solutions on the medicinal edible plant Viola inconspicua, focusing on leaf color, biomass, and microbial communities.
- The plants treated with a combination of brown sugar, urea, and KHPO water showed the healthiest leaves and the highest biomass compared to other treatments.
- Additionally, distinct metabolites were found in the different treatment groups, indicating that the best solutions enhanced amino acids and root flavonoids, while also promoting beneficial bacterial associations.
Article Abstract
The typical edible medicinal plants of Viola inconspicua were compared with leaf-green, biomass, metabolomes, and bacterial communities, after leaf-spraying water (A), brown sugar water (B), brown sugar, urea, and KHPO water (C), or KHPO and urea water (D). The plants sprayed with C solution presented relatively normal leaf-green and the highest biomass. In contrast of A group, B, C, and D groups were found with 72, 94, and 104 leaf differently accumulated metabolites (DAMs) and 105, 88, and 92 root DAMs, respectively. Typically, relative abundances of amino acids were elevated in C and D groups, while those of leaf flavonoids were increased in B group. Noticeably, leaf DAMs of C group versus A group had strong correlations with one to more phylum- or/and genus-dominant bacteria of C group. Taken together, leaf-spraying brown sugar, urea, and KHPO water are ideal for holding leaf-green and biomass in V. inconspicua plants.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) serves as a home-based kidney replacement therapy with increasing utilization across the globe. However, long-term use of high-glucose-based PD solution incites repeated peritoneal injury and inevitable peritoneal fibrosis, thus compromising treatment efficacy and resulting in ultrafiltration failure eventually. In the present study, we utilized human mesothelial MeT-5A cells for the in vitro experiments and a PD mouse model for in vivo validation to study the pathophysiological mechanisms underneath PD-associated peritoneal fibrosis.

Noncentrifugal sugar (NCS) is an unrefined, dark brown sugar containing minerals and plant secondary metabolites, unlike refined white sugar (WS). This study explored using NCS in confectionary jellies as an alternative sugar. We used different concentrations of NCS and WS to prepare low methoxyl pectin (LMP) confectionery gels characterized by their physical and rheological properties along with time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR) relaxometry.

Background: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) holds potential as a precision public health intervention, offering personalised insights into how diet and physical activity affect glucose levels. Nevertheless, the efficacy of using CGM in populations with and without diabetes to support behaviour change and behaviour-driven outcomes remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis examines whether using CGM-based feedback to support behaviour change affects glycaemic, anthropometric, and behavioural outcomes in adults with and without diabetes.

Ready-to-eat (RTE) abalones, scallops and oysters were prepared through a process of cooking, drying, vacuum packaging, and high-temperature sterilization, and were subjected to accelerated storage. Upon storage, the three RTE shellfishes all showed color deterioration, as indicated by darker color, decreased L* and W* values, and increased a* value. In contrast, the color deterioration of RTE oysters was more pronounced.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have emerged as important agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). SGLT2 inhibitors have been associated with improved cardiovascular outcomes, not only through their immediate hemodynamic effects-such as glycosuria and (at least temporary) increased natriuresis-but also due to their multifaceted impact on metabolism. Recently, studies have also focused on the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on adipose tissue.
