[Story] Polystyrene nanoplastic exposure alters breast milk proteins, potentially impairing neurodevelopment in breastfed infants.

Beta-lactoglobulin is a protein in breast milk. It binds to retinol, a form of vitamin A that plays a crucial role in neurodevelopment, facilitating its transport. A recent study found that nanoplastic exposure induces structural changes in beta-lactoglobulin, impairing retinol binding and transport. Researchers conducted a multi-part study to investigate the effect of polystyrene nanoparticles on beta-lactoglobulin. First, they measured changes in the protein's structure and its ability to bind retinol. Then, they examined polystyrene's effects on lysozyme, an antibacterial protein found in ... nutrition development vitamin a breast milk Microplastics

[Story] Antioxidant-rich moringa and amaranth leaf powders decrease oxidative stress and improve metabolic health.

During the process of menopause, the ovaries produce less estrogen, leading to several physiological changes that include the end of reproductive life. Lower estrogen levels in post-menopausal females may decrease the body’s antioxidant enzymes because estrogen has known antioxidant properties. In a recent report, a group of researchers tested the effects of drumstick (Moringa oleifera) and amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor) leaf supplements on antioxidant capacity in post-menopausal females. Much of the bodily damage that comes with aging is caused by oxygen radicals, but many foods and supplemen... diabetes moringa

[Story] Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce DNA damage in children.

DNA damage, a major contributor to aging, occurs from exposure to byproducts of cellular metabolism, environmental chemicals, and radiation from sunlight. If not repaired, DNA damage can be detrimental and is associated with diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. A new study suggests that higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids are associated with lower DNA damage in children and adolescents. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential because the body cannot make them, and they must be obtained from the diet. They include eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA. EPA an... omega-3 dna damage
