Oxidoreductases are diverse class of enzymes engaged in modulating the redox homeostasis and cellular signaling cascades. Abnormal expression of oxidoreductases including thioredoxin reductase, azoreductase, cytochrome ...

Biosynthetically produced alkenes are high-value molecules that can serve as ‘drop-in’ replacements for fossil fuels. Alkenes are also heavily used in the polymer, lubricant, and detergent industries. UndB is the only known ...

Electrical conductivity and ionic mobility measurements suggests that salt ions (probably Li+ ions) dominate the ionic transport. The cations and anions of IL do not contribute to long range migration, due to their bigger ...

Various Na+ ions conducting composite polymer electrolytes have been developed in last three decades, but their application is limited due to poor ionic conductivity near room temperature. Recently, we have demonstrated ...

Probiotic lactic acid bacteria are known to modulate gut associated immune responses. Not many studies have reported on the role of Weissella species in preventing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced proinflammatory stress ...

Arabinoxylan (AX), a non-starch polysaccharide extracted from cereals such as wheat, rice and millets, is known to impart various health promoting effects. Our earlier study suggested that finger millet (FM) could ameliorate ...

High fat diet (HFD)-induced alterations in gut microbiota and resultant ‘leaky gut’ phenomenon promotes metabolic endotoxemia, ectopic fat deposition, and low-grade systemic inflammation. Here we evaluated the effects of ...

Bacteriostatic properties of a potential anti-obesity agent cinnamaldehyde (CMN) may present untoward effects on the resident gut microbiota. Here, we evaluated whether the combination of Isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMOs) ...

Evidence based studies have proved the efficacy of plant derived bioactives against lifestyle oriented disorders as they can be incorporated in to the diet or diet based supplements. Phyllanthin is one such lignan from ...

As an effort to identify newer anti-obesity lead(s) we have selected 13 plant materials from the six plant species which have been reported in Indian Ayurvedic medicine as remedy against complications affecting glucose and ...
