14, =.04). PTH levels are inversely associated with PDI score (β=-0.18, =.01). Also, serum insulin concentration was negatively associated with PDI score (β=-0.10, =.04). Urine CTX-1 levels were significantly associated with hPDI score (β=-0.06, =.04). Selleckchem JHU395 u-CTX-1 levels are inversely associated with uPDI score. This significance did not change with the adjustment of the confounders (β=-0.28, <.001). More adherence to PDI and hPDI and less in uPDI may have a beneficial effect on biomarkers of bone, inflammation, and insulin thus preserving chronic diseases. More adherence to PDI and hPDI and less in uPDI may have a beneficial effect on biomarkers of bone, inflammation, and insulin thus preserving chronic diseases.The three-dimensional (3D) printing properties of pure shrimp surimi are poor and require improvement via the addition of other materials. The effects of the different amounts of potato starch, corn starch, tapioca starch, and cross-linked starch (CLS) (0%, 3%, 6%, or 9%, respectively) on the 3D printing properties and material properties of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) surimi were evaluated in the present study. The results showed that the apparent viscosity, G', and G'' of the samples were increased by adding 6% CLS, making it easy to extrude the sample from the nozzle and resulting in an improvement in the printing accuracy. In addition, after adding 6% CLS, the hardness, adhesiveness, and springiness of the sample were increased, which assist with maintaining the shape of the printed material and improve the printing stability of the sample. Moreover, the water holding capacity of shrimp surimi increased as a result of the addition of 6% CLS. In summary, 6% CLS can improve the material properties of shrimp surimi and make it more suitable for 3D printing.Ribes himalense Royle ex Decne. (family Saxifraaceae, subfamily Grossulariaceae, genus Ribes) is a wild berry fruit with illustrated health-promoting features, which widely distributed in Northwest China are deficiently exploited. This study aimed to assess the potential of a Ribes himalense as a source of natural bioactive compounds through characterizing its nutraceutical characteristics, phytochemicals properties, and antioxidant ability. Fresh berries were quantitatively analyzed for proximate composition, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, total polyphenols, total flavonoids, anthocyanins, procyanidin, and polysaccharides contents through China National Food Safety Standard; the characterization and identification of extracts of wild berries obtained with ethanol 30%, ethanol 50%, and ethanol 95% were firstly performed by UPLC-Triple-TOF-MS2. Furthermore, antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract was evaluated via different assay methods such as DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP. The results indicated that the most important bioactive composition was procyanidin (0.72%), polyphenols (0.49%), total flavonoids (0.38%), vitamin C (64.6 mg/100g FW), and K (218.44 mg/100 g FW), and a total of 95 compounds were detected with polyphenols, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins as the dominant, and also ethanol extract possessed stronger antioxidant activity. These results suggested that Ribes himalense fruit has great potential in protecting human health, with the focus on the development of functional products.Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered as a severe threat to human health. It has been reported that tea has abundant bioactive compounds and beneficial effects. In our study, the effects of 12 tea extracts on NAFLD were assessed and compared at the dose of 200 mg/kg body weight in mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 15 weeks. Enshi Yulu Tea, Fenghuang Narcissus Tea, and Yihong Tea showed strong effects in suppressing the accumulation of epididymal and perirenal adipose tissue as well as the increases of body weight and liver weight. The histopathological analysis revealed that
