Yoghurt fermentation alters the composition and antiplatelet properties of milk polar lipids

Lordan, Ronan; Vidal, Natalia P.; Huong Pham, Thu; Tsoupras, Alexandros; Thomas, Raymond H.; Zabetakis, Ioannis (Elsevier, 2020)

Dairy polar lipids (PL) seem to exhibit antiplatelet effects. However, it is not known what molecular species may be responsible. In this study, we confirmed using C30 reversed-phase (C30RP) ultra-high-performance liquid ...
Zinc binding to S100B affords regulation of trace metal homeostasis and excitotoxicity in the brain

Hagmeyer, Simone; Cristóvão, Joana S.; Mulvihill, John J.E.; Boeckers, Tobias M.; Gomes, Cláudio M.; Grabrucker, Andreas M. (Frontiers Media, 2018)

Neuronal metal ions such as zinc are essential for brain function. In particular synaptic processes are tightly related to metal and protein homeostasis, for example through extracellular metal-binding proteins. One such ...
Zinc deficiency during pregnancy leads to altered microbiome and elevated inflammatory markers in mice

Sauer, Ann Katrin; Grabrucker, Andreas M. (Frontiers Media, 2019)

Zinc is an essential trace metal for bacteria of the intestinal flora. Approximately 20% of dietary zinc – intake is used by intestinal bacteria. The microbiome has recently been described as an important factor for ...
