Abstract The likelihood of contamination and spread of pathogenic bacteria increases when infant foods are consumed without adequate heating, which helps to effectively control or eliminate potentially harmful bacteria that might cause food-borne illnesses. Food-borne pathogens encounter multiple obstacles such as acidic conditions in the stomach and bile in the small intestine, which serves as […]
EFFECTS OF MICROPLASTIC CONTAMINATION ON BRAIN HEALTH: A REVIEW
Abstract Microplastics (MPs), are small plastic particles less than 5 mm. They are pervasive environmental contaminants with emerging neurotoxic potential. MPs are generated from daily used products such as food packaging, textiles, and tire debris and comprise of various synthetic polymers, plasticizing additives (e.g bisphenol A and phthalates), and adsorbed pollutants. Human exposure to MPs […]
INVESTIGATION OF HOW 6-GINGEROL ELICITS ANTICANCER EFFECTS IN A MOUSE MODEL OF EARLY HCC EVENTS VIA DEGRADATION OF PRO-INFLAMMATORY CYTOKINE
Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the most fatal cancers globally, ranking third in cancer-related deaths, with particularly high prevalence in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Natural dietary compounds have demonstrated significant potential for both preventing and managing cancer. [6]-Gingerol, a phenolic constituent of ginger (Zingiber officinale), has shown chemoprotective effects against liver cancer development in […]
