Resveratrol promotes liver regeneration in drug-induced liver disease in mice
Studies suggest that the bioactive polyphenolic compound resveratrol (RESV, trans-isomer), found naturally in certain foods such as red grapes and peanuts, may be able to ameliorate liver damage. However, the effects and efficacy of long-term treatment with RESV remain unclear. Here, we used an acetaminophen (APAP; 400 mg/kg/d for 15 days) overdose model to induce […]
Studying the Evaluation Model of the Nutritional Quality of Edible Vegetable Oil Based on Dietary Nutrient Reference Intake
Edible vegetable oils can provide most of the fatty acids, vitamin E, and certain phytochemicals necessary in the daily human diet to facilitate the required physiological activities. However, there are many types of edible vegetable oils on the market, and evaluating their nutritional quality is a matter of significant interest to consumers and producers. Most […]
Optimization of deficit irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer management for peanut production in an arid region
Deficit irrigation (DI) has been emerging as an important technique for enhancing crop water productivity (WP). However, advantage of DI under varying nitrogen (N) application rates remains unclear. Field experiments were conducted during 2012-2014 to investigate the impacts of six irrigation levels[FI (full irrigation), DI10, DI20, DI30, DI40 and DI50, with irrigation amount of 100, […]
First Report of Macrophomina phaseolina Causing Charcoal Rot of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in Mexico
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the third most important oilseed crop in the world. The cultivated area in Mexico is currently 52,046 ha with a production of 91,109 ton in 2018 (FAO, 2020). Puebla state ranks third in the national production with 9,313 ton (SIAP, 2020). In September 2019, typical symptoms of charcoal rot (Macrophomina […]
Peanut disease epidemiology under dynamic microclimate conditions and management practices in North Florida
Diverse field characteristics, weather patterns, and management practices can result in variable microclimates. The objective was to relate in-field microclimate conditions with peanut diseases and yield and determine the effect of irrigation and fungicides within these environments. Irrigation did not have a major impact on disease and yield. Stem rot (Athelia rolfsii) and early (Passalora […]
Cloning and functional characterization of seed-specific LEC1A promoter from peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1) is a HAP3 subunit of CCAAT-binding transcription factor, which controls several aspects of embryo and postembryo development, including embryo morphogenesis, storage reserve accumulation and skotomorphogenesis. Herein, using the method of chromosomal walking, a 2707bp upstream sequence from the ATG initiation codon site of AhLEC1A which is a homolog of Arabidopsis LEC1 was […]
Peanut diversity and specific activity are the dominant IgE characteristics for effector cell activation in children
Background: IgE mediates allergic reactions to peanut; however, peanut-specific IgE (sIgE) levels do not always equate to clinical peanut allergy. Qualitative differences between sIgE of peanut sensitized but tolerant (PS) and peanut allergic (PA) individuals may be important. Objective: To assess the influence of IgE characteristics on effector cell activation in peanut allergy. Methods: A […]
Oral immunotherapy for peanut allergy: The con argument
Background: In some countries of the world, peanut allergy represents an important source of anaphylactic reactions. Traditionally treated with the avoidance of responsible allergens, this condition can also be targeted by oral peanut immunotherapy. Methods: In this study, we review the beneficial and side effects of currently available forms of peanut oral immunotherapy (POIT). We […]
Effect of roasted peanut allergen Ara h 3 protein on the sensitization of Caco-2 cells
Background: Roasted peanut is widely loved as a kind of food with rich taste. However, peanut allergy is one of the major threats to human health, which affects about 5% of children and 1.4-2% of adults in the world. Results: To evaluate the sensitization mechanism of peanut allergen Ara h 3, Caco-2 cells as the […]
Spatial analysis of dietary exposure of aflatoxins in peanuts and peanut oil in different areas of China
Peanuts in China are heavily contaminated with aflatoxin, which pose a threaten to human health. To compare the dietary exposure risk of aflatoxins (AFT) in peanuts and peanut oil in different areas of China, the spatial distribution of AFT contamination levels in peanuts and peanut oil from different areas was analyzed. The dietary exposure was […]
