Amyloid β Enhances Typical Rodent Behavior While It Impairs Contextual Memory Consolidation by Karla Salgado-Puga, Roberto A. Prado-Alcalá, Fernando Peña-Ortega

“…Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with an early hippocampal dysfunction, which is likely induced by an increase in soluble amyloid beta peptide (Aβ). This hippocampal failure contributes to the initial memory deficits observed both in patients and in AD animal models and possibly to the deterioration in activities of daily living (ADL). …”

Extraction of Protein-Enriched Fractions from Sunflower and Hemp Seeds: Composition and Colloidal Stability of Less Refined Fractions as a Function of Initial pH by Simone Bleibach Alpiger, Sandra Beyer Gregersen, Amanda May Ellermann, Tenna Ji Jing Dissing, Milena Corredig

“…These variations were attributed to compositional differences between the two seeds, leading to different interactions among the soluble carbohydrates, proteins, and oleosomes. These findings demonstrate that improving fractionation efficiency between proteins and oleosomes requires a better understanding of biomacromolecule interactions and their resulting functional colloidal structures, before full adoption of these new, less refined ingredients in food formulations.…”
