Studied was the content of vitamins A and E as well as that of fats, aldehydes, and peroxides and the biologic activity of vitamin E with regard to the amount of santoquin in combined forage mixtures for birds. The experiments were carried out with a finisher forage mixture for broilers to which santoquin was added in amounts of 0.010, 0.016, 0.020, and 0.025 per cent. It was found that at an antioxidant concentration of 0.020 per cent a best protection of the biologic vitamin E activity was provided. The rapid inactivation of vitamin E at a level of santoquin lower than 0.016 per cent was associated with the intense deposition of products of the final oxidation when fats turned rancid. Taking into consideration the importance of fats as a source of energy a 0.020 per cent level of santoquin in the forage mixtures for broilers is suggested.

Human enteroid monolayers: A novel, functionally stable model for investigating oral drug disposition.

Department of Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington. Electronic address:
To further the development of an in vitro model that faithfully recapitulates drug disposition of orally administered drugs, we investigated the utility of human enteroid monolayers to simultaneously assess intestinal drug absorption and first-pass metabolism processes. We cultured human enteroid monolayers from 3 donors, derived via biopsies containing duodenal stem cells that were propagated and then differentiated atop permeable Transwell inserts, and confirmed transformation into a largely enterocyte population via RNA sequencing analysis and immunocytochemistry (ICC) assays. Proper cell morphology was assessed and confirmed via bright field microscopy and ICC imaging of tight junction proteins and other apically and basolaterally localized proteins.

In order to improve the preservation of red grape fruits, 'Chuju' polysaccharides (CCP) were cross-linked with chitosan (CS) to create CCP/CS composites with varying ratios. These composites were comprehensively characterized using FT-IR, C NMR, and SEM, which confirmed a smooth film surface and a uniform distribution of CCP. The composite films demonstrated efficacy in maintaining the quality of red grapes by mitigating shriveling and significantly reducing firmness loss by 22.

Lipase enzymes play a vital role in digestion and nutrient metabolism in host organisms, with symbiotic bacteria producing abundant enzymes, carbohydrates, vitamins, and other nutrients. This study aimed to isolate, identify, and screen lipase-producing bacteria from the gut of Systomus sarana, optimize enzyme production using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), and characterize the extracted lipase protein. A total of 11 bacterial strains were isolated and identified through 16S rRNA sequencing.

Background: In addition to its important roles in blood coagulation and bone formation, vitamin K (VK) contributes to brain function. Low dietary VK intake, which is common among older adults, is associated with age-related cognitive impairment.
Objective: To elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying VK's effects on cognition, we investigated the effects of low VK (LVK) intake on cognition in C57BL/6 mice.

Brown and beige adipocytes express uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1), which is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane and facilitates the dissipation of excess energy as heat. The activation of thermogenic adipocytes is a potential therapeutic target for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and related co-morbidities. Therefore, identifying novel approaches to stimulate the function of these adipocytes is crucial for advancing therapeutic strategies.
