Structure of protein emulsion in food impacts intestinal microbiota, caecal luminal content composition and distal intestine characteristics in rats
ConclusionOverall, the structure of protein emulsion in food affects the expression of amino acid transporters and gut peptides concomitantly with modification of the gut microbiota composition and activity. Our data suggest that these effects of the emulsion structure are the result of a modification of protein digestion properties.This article is protected by copyright.

Phytochemicals in quinoa and amaranth grains and their antioxidant, anti ‐inflammatory, and potential health beneficial effects: a review
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) and amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) are pseudocereal grains rich in both macronutrients and micronutrients including vitamins and minerals. The proteins are particularly of high nutritional quality due to the outstanding balance of essential amino acids. However, recent research strongly suggests that nonessential nutrients such as phytochemicals of quinoa and amaranth may also have potential health beneficial effects. This review focuses on the phytochemical composition of quinoa and amaranth seeds, the antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities of hydrophilic (e.g. phenolics, beta...

Back cover: Polyphenols from Lonicera caerulea L. berry attenuate experimental nonalcoholic steatohepatitis by inhibiting proinflammatory cytokines productions and lipid peroxidation
Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2017, 61, 1600858. DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201600858 Dietary supplementation of LCP, the polyphenols from Lonicera caerulea L. berry, ameliorate inflammation, lipid peroxidation, and insulin resistance in the experimental nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) model by suppressing proinflammatory cytokines production, up‐regulating the expression of Nrf2 and MnSOD, and down‐regulating the expression of FoxO1 and HO‐1.

Front cover: A functional pseudogene, NMRAL2P, is regulated by Nrf2 and serves as a coactivator of NQO1 in sulforaphane ‐treated colon cancer cells
Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2017, 61, 1600769. DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201600769 Pseudogenes have been viewed, historically, as nonfunctional DNA sequences with close homology to other functional protein‐coding genes. NmrA‐like redox sensor 2 (NMRAL2P) is a novel functional pseudogene, the first to be identified both as a direct transcriptional target of Nrf2, and as a downstream co‐regulator of Nrf2‐dependent gene activation in response to sulforaphane treatment.

N ‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids increase hepatic fibroblast growth factor 21 sensitivity via a PPARγ‐β‐klotho pathway
Conclusion: Our data indicate n‐3 PUFAs increase hepatic FGF21 sensitivity and β‐klotho expression probably through a PPARγ‐dependent mechanism, and may thereby exert hepatic beneficial effects on lipid metabolism.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved (Source: Nahrung / Food)

Dietary fat content modulates the hypolipidemic effect of dietary inulin in rats
ConclusionDietary fat content modulates the hypolipidemic effect of dietary inulin. The hypolipidemic effect of inulin differs depending on dietary fat content (5 versus 20%). Specifically, 5% inulin instead of cellulose in a semi‐purified diet significantly reduces serum lipid levels in rats fed a high‐fat diet, which is strongly associated with increased total lipid and neutral sterol excretion. These results indicate that dietary fat content modulates the hypolipidemic effect of dietary inulin. (Source: Nahrung / Food)

Mediterranean tomato ‐based sofrito protects against vascular alterations in obese Zucker rats by preserving NO bioavailability
Conclusion: This is the first evidence of tomato‐based sofrito protection against vascular alterations that could precede major cardiometabolic complications in obesity. These results contribute to explain the therapeutic properties of the Mediterranean diet in obesity‐related disorders. Therefore, sofrito is an attractive dietary approach against vascular alterations in obesity.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved (Source: Nahrung / Food)

Fructose downregulates miR ‐330 to induce renal inflammatory response and insulin signaling impairment: Attenuation by morin
ConclusionThese findings suggest that morin protects against fructose‐induced kidney insulin signaling impairment by upregulating miR‐330 to reduce inflammatory response. Morin may be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of kidney injury associated with fructose‐induced inflammation and insulin signaling impairment. Fructose downregulates miR‐330 expression to increase sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1)/sphingosine‐1‐phosphate (S1P)/S1P receptor (S1PR)1/3 signaling and then activate nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB)/NOD‐like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome to produce IL‐1...
