Abstract Context Obesity surveillance is scarce in adolescents, and little known on whether salivary metabolomics data, emerging minimally invasive biomarkers, can characterize metabolic patterns associated with overweight or obesity adolescents. Objective This pilot study aims to identify the molecular signatures body mass index (BMI) Italian Methods Saliva samples BMI were collected a subset ...

ABSTRACT. Quisqualis indica (Q. indica; Rangoon creeper) is found in Asia and finds its place Ayurvedic texts, ethno-medicine as well modern research. Its leaves contain important constituents like rutin, quisqualis acid, trigonelline, L-proline L-asparagine. Traditionally, the are used antipyretic, anti-flatulent, anti-inflammatory, anti-septic, anti-diarrhoeal. Modern pharmacological research...

Coral growth anomalies (GAs) are tumor-like protrusions that detrimental to coral health, affecting both the skeleton and soft tissues. These lesions increasingly found throughout tropics commonly associated with high human population density, yet little is known about molecular pathology of disease. Here, we investigate metabolic impacts GAs through 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolo...

The postharvest processing factors including cherry methods highly influence the final quality of coffee beverages, especially in composition several metabolites such as glucose, fructose, amino acid (glutamic acid), and chlorogenic acids (CGA) well trigonelline contents. In this research, UV spectroscopy combined with chemometrics was used to classify a ground roasted Lampung robusta specialty...

Mathematical algorithms offer a useful method for quantitative analysis of compounds in multi-component mixtures to overcome the overlapping problems occurred in UV spectrophotometry. The aim of this study is to develop a method to determine the bioactive compounds in herbal dosage forms produced from fenugreek extract. A UV- spectrophotometric method based on mathematical algorithm was used to...

Coffee contains various bioactives implicated with human health and disease risk. To accurately assess the effects of overall consumption upon health and disease, individual intake must be measured in large epidemiological studies. Metabolomics has emerged as a powerful approach to discover biomarkers of intake for a large range of foods. Here we report the profiling of the urinary metabolome o...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, its poor prognosis being related to asymptomatic development and late detection. Hence, there is great need for novel biomarkers that can aid in the early detection of lung cancer. In this study, NMR-metabonomics is applied for investigating lung cancer metabolic signatures in blood plasma and urine. Biofluid samples from lung cancer patients (n...
