Dietary pectin-derived acidic oligosaccharides improve the pulmonary bacterial clearance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection in mice by modulating intestinal microbiota and immunity.
J. Infect. Dis. 211(1) , 156-65, (2015) A predominantly T-helper type 2 (Th2) immune response is critical in the prognosis of pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. But the mucosal and systemic immune responses can be influenced by the intestinal microbiota.We assessed the effect of microbiota... |

Aegle marmelos fruit pectin for food and pharmaceuticals: Physico-chemical, rheological and functional performance.
Carbohydr. Polym. 93(2) , 386-94, (2013) Pectin is used in a number of foods as a gelling agent, thickener, texturizer, emulsifier and stabilizer. Bael fruit, obtained from Aegle marmelos, is a rich source of pectin. Bael fruit pectin (BFP) was extracted from ripe Bael fruits. The process yielded 15... |

Physico-chemical stability of astaxanthin nanodispersions prepared with polysaccharides as stabilizing agents.
Int. J. Food Sci. Nutr. 64(6) , 744-8, (2013) The emulsification and stabilization ability of four selected polysaccharides, namely, gum Arabic, xanthan gum, pectin and methyl cellulose, in the preparation of water-dispersible astaxanthin nanoparticles using the emulsification-evaporation technique was i... |

Galectin-3 is a sensor-regulator of toll-like receptor pathways in synovial fibroblasts.
Cytokine 73(1) , 30-5, (2015) Galectin-3 is a β-galactoside-binding lectin that plays an important role in the modulation of immune responses. It has been shown to aggravate joint inflammation and destruction in experimental arthritis. We investigated the role of galectin-3 in TLR-induced... |

HIGHLY METHYL ESTERIFIED SEEDS is a pectin methyl esterase involved in embryo development.
Plant Physiol. 167 , 725-37, (2015) Homogalacturonan pectin domains are synthesized in a highly methyl-esterified form that later can be differentially demethyl esterified by pectin methyl esterase (PME) to strengthen or loosen plant cell walls that contain pectin, including seed coat mucilage,... |

Osteoblast differentiation and phenotype expressions on chitosan-coated Ti-6Al-4V.
Carbohydr. Polym. 97(2) , 618-26, (2013) Chitosan (C), alginate-crosslinked chitosan (CA), and pectin-crosslinked chitosan (CP) were covalently bonded to Ti-6Al-4V surfaces and tested for their biocompatibility. Compared to the clinically treated Ti-6Al-4V surface (Ti64), C, CA, and CP, had higher c... |

Heat stress causes alterations in the cell-wall polymers and anatomy of coffee leaves (Coffea arabica L.).
Carbohydr. Polym. 93(1) , 135-43, (2013) Coffee plants were subjected to heat stress (37 °C) and compared with control plants (24 °C). Cell wall polysaccharides were extracted using water (W), EDTA (E) and 4M NaOH (H30 and H70). In addition, monolignols were analyzed, and the leaves were observed by... |
