Oral bioaccessibility of arsenic, mercury and methylmercury in marine species commercialized in Catalonia (Spain) and health risks for the consumers.

Food Chem. Toxicol. 86 , 34-40, (2015)

This study was aimed at characterizing the bioaccessibility of arsenic (As), mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in commercial fish and seafood species widely consumed by the population of Catalonia (Spain). An accurate evaluation on how bioaccessibility es...

Characterization of novel beta-galactosidase activity that contributes to glycoprotein degradation and virulence in Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Infect. Immun. 78(1) , 348-57, (2010)

The pneumococcus obtains its energy from the metabolism of host glycosides. Therefore, efficient degradation of host glycoproteins is integral to pneumococcal virulence. In search of novel pneumococcal glycosidases, we characterized the Streptococcus pneumoni...

Effect of broccoli phytochemical extract on release of fatty acids from salmon muscle and salmon oil during in vitro digestion.

Food Funct. 5(9) , 2331-7, (2014)

The aim of the present work was to study the effect of a broccoli phytochemical extract (Br-ex) on the release of fatty acids (FA) from salmon muscle (SM) and salmon oil (SO) during in vitro digestion. The hypothesis of the study was that Br-ex contains polyp...

Reducing Compounds Equivocally Influence Oxidation during Digestion of a High-Fat Beef Product, which Promotes Cytotoxicity in Colorectal Carcinoma Cell Lines.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 64 , 1600-9, (2016)

We studied the formation of malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxy-nonenal, and hexanal (lipid oxidation products, LOP) during in vitro digestion of a cooked low-fat and high-fat beef product in response to the addition of reducing compounds. We also investigated whether...

Label-free in vivo molecular imaging of underglycosylated mucin-1 expression in tumour cells.

Nat. Commun. 6 , 6719, (2015)

Alterations in mucin expression and glycosylation are associated with cancer development. Underglycosylated mucin-1 (uMUC1) is overexpressed in most malignant adenocarcinomas of epithelial origin (for example, colon, breast and ovarian cancer). Its counterpar...

Identification of a surface protein from Lactobacillus reuteri JCM1081 that adheres to porcine gastric mucin and human enterocyte-like HT-29 cells.

Curr. Microbiol. 57(1) , 33-8, (2008)

Adhesion of lactobacilli to the host gastrointestinal (GI) tract is considered an important factor in health-promoting effects. However, studies addressing the molecular mechanisms of the adhesion of lactobacilli to the host GI tract have not yet been perform...

A myasthenic syndrome with congenital paucity of secondary synaptic clefts: CPSC syndrome.

Muscle Nerve 11(4) , 337-48, (1988)

Two cases of a newly recognized myasthenic syndrome were investigated (CPSC syndrome). The course of the disease was observed for periods of 6 and 3 years. In infancy, exacerbations of the symptoms occurred during febrile illness, but thereafter the clinical ...

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the determination of mucin levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

J. Pharmacol. Toxicol. Methods 53(2) , 160-7, (2006)

A method to measure the mucin concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid was developed to aid efforts to identify pharmacologically the mechanisms that modulate pathophysiological mucin secretion. Mucins are the major macromolecular components of muc...

Evaluation of sputum smears concentrated by cytocentrifugation for detection of acid-fast bacilli.

J. Clin. Microbiol. 31(9) , 2371-4, (1993)

Early identification and isolation of tuberculosis patients is of utmost importance to minimize the risk of further epidemic spread of the disease. The traditional concentrated acid-fast smears are not very reliable tools for the presumptive diagnosis of tube...

Studies on the binding site of the galactose-specific agglutinin PA-IL from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Glycobiology 8(1) , 7-16, (1998)

The binding properties of Pseudomonas aeruginosa agglutinin-I (PA-IL) with glycoproteins (gps) and polysaccharides were studied by both the biotin/avidin-mediated microtiter plate lectin-binding assay and the inhibition of agglutinin-glycan interaction with s...
