Influence of dietary supplementation of herb extracts on volatile sulfur production in pig large intestine.

Volatile sulfur compounds (VS) are generated in the large intestine by the bacterial metabolism of sulfate and sulfur amino acids. VS are potentially harmful to the host. The effect of dietary supplementation of herb extracts on volatile sulfur production in the large intestine of pig was evaluated in this study. The extracts Perilla frutescens (Soyou), Mentha piperita (Peppermint), and Ajuga decumbens (Kiransou) were fed to pigs equipped with a permanent cannula at the cecum. Cecal digesta were sampled and analyzed for ammonia and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). Sampled digesta were incubated anaerobically either with or without L-methionine for 24 h to estimate volatile sulfur production in vivo. L-Methionine was supplemented to enhance methanethiol (MeSH) production. At the end of the incubation, head space concentrations of volatile sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), MeSH, and dimethyl sulfide (DMS) were determined by flame-photometric gaschromatography after the addition of 6 N HCl. Sampled digesta were also subjected to the most probable number estimations for sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), sulfide producer from L-methionine, and MeSH producers from L-methionine. All three herb extracts significantly decreased H2S (p<0.05), MeSH (p<0.05), and ammonia (p<0.05) production, but SCFA production was not affected (p>0.05). The number of volatile sulfur-producing bacteria did not vary among groups by the dietary supplementation of these herb extracts. Serial solvent extraction was done on these herb extracts to specify the active fractions that reduce volatile sulfur production. n-Butanol fraction of all three extracts significantly reduced volatile sulfur production in vitro.

Identification and localization of the fatty acid modification in ghrelin by electron capture dissociation.

Electron capture dissociation (ECD) has been demonstrated to be an effective fragmentation technique for characterizing the site and structure of the fatty acid modification in ghrelin, a 28-residue growth-hormone-releasing peptide that has an unusual ester-linked n-octanoyl (C8:0) modification at Ser-3. ECD cleaves 21 of 23 possible backbone amine bonds, with the product ions (c and z* ions) covering a greater amino acid sequence than those obtained by collisionally activated dissociation (CAD). Consistent with the ECD nonergodic mechanism, the ester-linked octanoyl group is retained on all backbone cleavage product ions, allowing for direct localization of this labile modification. In addition, ECD also induces the ester bond cleavage to cause the loss of octanoic acid from the ghrelin molecular ion; the elimination process is initiated by the capture of an electron at the protonated ester group, which is followed by the radical-site-initiated reaction known as alpha-cleavage. The chemical composition of the attached fatty acid can be directly obtained from the accurate Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass measurement of the ester bond cleavage product ions.

A free fatty acid tolerance test identifies patients with coronary artery disease among individuals with a low conventional coronary risk profile.

This study investigated whether the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with a low conventional coronary risk profile is associated with perturbations of free fatty acid (FFA) metabolism. All patients studied were non-smokers, normoglycemic, normotensive, nonobese, and had triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the reference ranges. An FFA tolerance test was designed, consisting of a heparin injection 4h after an oral fat load which induced a marked increase in plasma FFA concentrations. Measurements were made before the fat load, after 4 h (immediately before heparin injection), and after 4.5, 8, and 10 h. The test was carried out in 28 male CAD patients and in 25 male controls free of CAD as verified by coronary angiography. In the fasting state the two groups showed no differences in conventional risk factors with the exception of HDL cholesterol (patients 0.97 +/- 0.04 mmol/l, controls 1.13 +/- 0.05 mmol/l, P = 0.013). During the test the best discriminator found was FFA at 8 h (P = 0.0009) and, very pronounced, at 10 h (P = 0.000). We conclude that perturbed FFA metabolism in an FFA tolerance test can indicate the presence of CAD in men with a low conventional coronary risk profile, possibly as an early indicator of the metabolic syndrome.

Multibranched polyunsaturated and very-long-chain fatty acids of freshwater Israeli sponges.

Very-long-chain and multibranched polyunsaturated fatty acids of three freshwater sponges, Ephydatia syriaca, Nudospongilla sp., and Cortispongilla barroisi, were studied by silver TLC, GC-MS, UV, IR, HRMS, and NMR methods. One hundred and eighty-five conventional fatty acids were identified by GC-MS, out of which five were new multibranched polyunsaturated fatty acids. The freshwater sponges belonging to the family Spongillidae (class Demospongia) were shown to contain novel di-, tri-, and tetramethyl substituted dienoic, tetraenoic, and hexaenoic fatty acids. The compounds gave positive results in a brine shrimp toxicity assay.

Concerned about losing hair? Hair loss and baldness is indeed a visible problem, and
could be more than just the matter of change in appearance.
Saw palmetto berry is a widely known herbal supplement for hair loss problems.
However, there are a number of great anecdotal herbs that people used for thousands of years stop hair loss and
start hair growth.
Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on Chinese herbs actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss
for a significant fraction of people who take it diligently. It is unknown how Hair Million herbs actually stop hair loss, and promote hair growth,
No scientific research or placebo controlled clinical trials have been conducted. Nonetheless, a number of people agree that it works.
