Alkylresorcinols in adipose tissue biopsies as biomarkers of whole-grain intake: an exploratory study of responsiveness to advised intake over 12 weeks

Abstract

Alkylresorcinols (ARs) have been suggested as biomarkers of whole-grain wheat and rye intake. Plasma AR concentrations have a short half-life; hence, long-term biomarkers are needed. This study evaluated the responsiveness of ARs in adipose tissue biopsies as biomarkers after a whole-grain intake intervention. Samples and data of 27 participants from a 12-week randomized parallel-group dietary intervention were available. The participants were replacing their habitual diet with a whole-grain-enriched diet (WGDG) or a refined grain diet (RDG) during the intervention. Blood samples and adipose tissue biopsies were collected at baseline and after 12 weeks, and AR concentrations in the plasma and adipose tissues from the participants were compared against estimated whole-grain intake. AR concentrations in the adipose tissue and plasma did not change after 12 weeks in the WGDG group, as no significant increase in whole-grain intake was observed, but was significantly lower than baseline in the RDG group (P<0.05), owing to decreased whole-grain intake in this group. Plasma and adipose tissue AR concentrations were significantly higher in the WGDG group than in the RDG group (P<0.05), and were highly correlated with average whole-grai...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
