Cranberry supplementation improves physiological markers of performance in trained runners

Author(s): Parenteau F; Puglia VF; Roberts M; Comtois AS; Bergdahl A;

Purpose: Cranberries have the highest polyphenol and antioxidant capacity among fruits and vegetables and may protect against exercise-induced free radical production, consequently improving performance. This study aimed to investigate the effect of polyphenol-rich cranberry extract (CE) on time-trial performance and lactate response following exercise. ...

New Megastigmane and Polyphenolic Components of Henna Leaves and Their Tumor-Specific Cytotoxicity on Human Oral Squamous Carcinoma Cell Lines

Author(s): Orabi MAA; Orabi EA; Awadh AAA; Alshahrani MM; Abdel-Wahab BA; Sakagami H; Hatano T;

Polyphenols have a variety of phenolic hydroxyl and carbonyl functionalities that enable them to scavenge many oxidants, thereby preserving the human redox balance and preventing a number of oxidative stress-related chronic degenerative diseases. In our ongoing investigation of polyphenol-rich plants in search of novel molecules, we resumed the investigat ...

Recent developments in photocatalysis of industrial effluents ։ A review and example of phenolic compounds degradation

Author(s): Motamedi M; Yerushalmi L; Haghighat F; Chen Z;

Industrial expansion and increased water consumption have created water scarcity concerns. Meanwhile, conventional wastewater purification methods have failed to degrade recalcitrant pollutants efficiently. The present review paper discusses the recent advances and challenges in photocatalytic processes applied for industrial effluents treatment, with res ...

Discovery of new vascular disrupting agents based on evolutionarily conserved drug action, pesticide resistance mutations, and humanized yeast

Author(s): Garge RK; Cha HJ; Lee C; Gollihar JD; Kachroo AH; Wallingford JB; Marcotte EM;

Thiabendazole (TBZ) is an FDA-approved benzimidazole widely used for its antifungal and antihelminthic properties. We showed previously that TBZ is also a potent vascular disrupting agent and inhibits angiogenesis at the tissue level by dissociating vascular endothelial cells in newly formed blood vessels. Here, we uncover TBZ's molecular target and m ...

Defensive Traits during White Spruce (Picea glauca) Leaf Ontogeny

Author(s): Antoine-Olivier Lirette

Changes during leaf ontogeny affect palatability to herbivores, such that many insects, including the eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.)), are specialist feeders on growing conifer leaves and buds. Developmental constraints imply lower toughness in developing foliage, and optimal defense theory predicts higher investment in chemical ...

Late-spring frost risk between 1959 and 2017 decreased in North America but increased in Europe and Asia.

Author(s): Zohner CM, Mo L, Renner SS, Svenning JC, Vitasse Y, Benito BM, Ordonez A, Baumgarten F, Bastin JF, Sebald V, Reich PB, Liang J, Nabuurs GJ, de-Miguel S, Alberti G, Antón-Fernández C, Balazy R, Brändli UB, Chen HYH, Chisholm C, Cienciala ...

Late-spring frosts (LSFs) affect the performance of plants and animals across the world's temperate and boreal zones, but despite their ecological and economic impact on agriculture and forestry, the geographic distribution and evolutionary impact of these frost events are poorly understood. ...
