“…[272][273][274][275] Different bacterial taxa modulate immune functionality toward a pro or antiinflammatory pattern, extensively summarized previously.

Zinc is an essential nutrient for human health. It plays key roles in maintaining protein structure and stability, serves as catalytic factor for many enzymes, and regulates diverse fundamental cellular processes. Zinc is important in affecting signal transduction and, in particular, in the development and integrity of the immune system, where it affects both innate and adaptive immune responses. The eye, especially the retina‐choroid complex, has an unusually high concentration of zinc compared to other tissues. The highest amount of zinc is concentrated in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) (RPE‐choroid, 292 ± 98.5 µg g−1 dry tissue), followed by the retina (123±62.2 µg g−1 dry tissue). The interplay between zinc and inflammation has been explored in other parts of the body but, so far, has not been extensively researched in the eye. Several lines of evidence suggest that ocular zinc concentration decreases with age, especially in the context of age‐related disease. Thus, a hypothesis that retinal function could be modulated by zinc nutrition is proposed, and subsequently trialled clinically. In this review, the distribution and the potential role of zinc in the retina‐choroid complex is outlined, especially in relation to inflammation and immunity, and the clinical studies to date are summarized.

“…2 The intestinal microbiota has a wide variety of functions, and one of the best explored is its immune function. 9 A positive independent influence of probiotics on serum triglyceride concentration and liver mass has been reported, exerting a favorable and dose-dependent effect on liver function and lipid profile in the rat model and possibly also have a favorable influence on cardiovascular impairment. 10 Yesilbag et al 11 demonstrated that juniper essential oil supplements had a significant impact on children's antioxidant blood parameters.…”

BACKGROUND The intestinal microbiota has a wide variety of functions in the host. A positive effect of plant extract on intestinal microbiota in animals has been reported. However, the effect of orange essential oil and its components limonene, linalool and citral on intestinal microflora in mice has seldom been reported. The effects of intragastric administration of orange essential oil and limonene, linalool and citral on intestinal microflora and biochemical indexes in mice were studied. RESULTS The effect of essential oil, linalool and citral on immune organ index (spleen and thymus index), IgM and IL‐2 was not significant (P > 0.05). A significant increase (P < 0.05) of H+K+‐ATPase activity, IgA, IgG, and IL‐2 in the limonene group was observed when compared with the control group. Orange essential oil, limonene, linalool and citral could significantly reduce the content of short‐chain fatty acids in the cecum and colon of mice. Principal coordinates analysis showed that intestinal bacterial structure of limonene group cecum and colon was apparently separated from other groups. The relative abundance of Lactobacillus in cecum and colon in essential oil, limonene, linalool and citral groups was higher than that in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Orange essential oil and limonene, linalool and citral could affect the intestinal microflora of mice, and enhance the relative abundance of Lactobacillus. The intestinal bacterial structure of cecum and colon in the limonene group was quite different from other groups. This indicated a more obvious effect of limonene on intestinal bacteria, also resulting in significant changes in blood immune index and short‐chain fatty acids in mice. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…First, minerals may play an important role in intestinal probiotics as they are responsible for obtaining energy for gut bacteria. 61 Importantly, recent studies have confirmed that some minerals have prebiotic activities. Calcium favorably changes the intestinal flora through the precipitation of bile acids and reduction in fatty acids, resulting in increased probiotic density and activity.…”

BACKGROUND Carapax Trionycis is the shell of the soft‐shelled turtle. It is rich in minerals, amino acid, peptides, and other nutrients. Current processing and consumption of soft‐shelled turtle leads to the waste of huge quantities of Carapax Trionycis in the form of spent materials. In this study, the bioavailability, prebiotic activity, and physicochemical properties of Carapax Trionycis using different processing methods were investigated. The vinegar‐quenched Carapax Trionycis (V‐CT), fine powders (D0.18, D0.10), and superfine powders (D0.05, D0.025) of Carapax Trionycis were prepared by the vinegar‐quenching method, common grinding, and the superfine grinding method. RESULTS The average particle sizes of D0.18, D0.10, D0.05, and D0.025 were 147.82, 77.35, 36.65, and 2.24 μm, respectively. Superfine grinding changed the surface morphology of Carapax Trionycis and promoted the release of active ingredients. D0.025 had the highest polypeptide (8.15%), polysaccharide (1.21%), total free amino acid (232.36 mg 100 g−1) and water‐soluble extract content (10.74%), and showed the highest calcium release rate (55.64%) after in vitro digestion. The apparent permeability (PAPP) of the resulting Carapax Trionycis samples in the dialysis tubing model and the everted intestinal sac model increased significantly with the decrease in the Carapax Trionycis particle sizes. Furthermore, the five Carapax Trionycis samples significantly stimulated the growth of the tested probiotics and increased lactic acids production after 48 h fermentation compared to the control. The Carapax Trionycis powder prepared by superfine grinding displayed better prebiotic activity than other samples as it significantly induced a greater proliferation of probiotic bacteria and higher production of lactic acid, as well as greater release of free calcium. CONCLUSIONS The results showed that Carapax Trionycis superfine powder D0.025 had the highest active ingredient content, calcium bioavailability, and prebiotic activity. Our approach of developing Carapax Trionycis superfine powder as natural calcium supplement or potential prebiotic would therefore broaden the scope of soft‐shelled turtle processing waste utilization in an eco‐friendly, cost‐effective, and sustainable approach in the future. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry
