Study Proves Fish Oil Supplements Don’t Protect You From Heart Disease
by Angela Vuckovic @ RateMDs Health News
Mon Feb 12 09:07:25 PST 2018
It seems that omega-3 in supplements doesn’t pack the same punch as the essential fatty acids found in fish. Fish oil is one of the most commonly used supplements: millions of people consume it daily in the form of softgels, capsules, or tablets, believing that it will lower their risk of developing cardiovascular issues. Even the American Heart Association advises people with a history of heart conditions to supplement omega-3 in their diets. But a new study by British scientists reveals that, sadly, these supplements have very little to do with your heart’s health. Up until now, doctors advised anyone

Since this is a condition that annually affects circa 16 million individuals across the United States, there is an urgent need for new treatments for depression.

It is estimated that these drugs lead to temporary remission in less than 50 percent of the cases, and, usually, come with a set of severe side-effects.

648 Validation of micro-encapsulation method to protect probiotics and feed enzyme from rumen degradation | Journal of Animal Science | Oxford Academic
OUP Academic
We hypothesize that supplementation of live yeast or feed enzyme (FE) may improve intestinal digestion and gut health, but with ruminants, the challenge is to deliver additive with high activity post-ruminally due to the highly proteolytic environment of the rumen. The objective of this study was to develop a micro-encapsulation method by measuring ruminal stability of encapsulated yeast and FE, and its release in the intestine. Live yeast and liquid FE were encapsulated using barley protein hordein and glutelin as capsule material. The barley protein powders were hydrated at pH 11.0 to form a 15% (w/v) solution. The pH was then adjusted to 7.0 followed by an immediate mixing with yeast or FE to form a coarse emulsion using a homogenizer. Microcapsules were then formed by passing the premixed emulsion through a microfluidizer system. The mixtures were spray-dried using a laboratory scale spray dryer. The ratio of capsule to additive was 1:1. The stability of encapsulated products in the rumen was measured as DM disappearance (DMD) in batch culture. Briefly, the encapsulated products (100 mg) were weighed into Ankom bags and placed in 100-mL serum bottles. Rumen inoculant (15 mL) from beef heifer and buffer solution (45 mL) was added to each bottle and incubated at 39°C for 0, 3, 6, 12 or 24 h. The residues in bags were digested in 1% pancreatin solution for 1 h to remove the encapsulation protection. Number of yeast colonies (cfu/g) was enumerated by spread plate method. Enzyme activity (EC 3.2.1.1) was assayed and expressed as μmol glucose equivalents/min/g FE. The DMD of encapsulated yeast were 3.1, 7.8, 9.1, 12.0 or 16.0%, and the cfu were 9.5, 2.2, 1.3, 1.1 and 0.6 (× 109), respectively, for residues after 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h of incubation. The DMD of encapsulated FE were 5.1, 31.4, 33.8, 40.6 or 43.6%, and the enzyme activity in residue were 41.9, 33.8, 19.7, 12.7 and 10.2 µmol/min/g, respectively, at 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h of incubation. The results showed that the encapsulated yeast products were stable in the rumen. Subsequently, the encapsulated yeast was released by digesting in pancreatin solution and cfu counts demonstrated over 90% survival rates. It suggests that this encapsulation technique is applicable as a novel method for delivering active yeast to the intestine. However, this technique may be not efficacy to protect liquid enzyme from rumen degradation.

A prebiotic, Celmanax™, decreases Escherichia coli O157:H7 colonization of bovine cells and feed-associated cytotoxicity in vitro
BMC Research Notes
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is the most common serovar of enterohemorrhagic E. coli associated with serious human disease outbreaks. Cattle are the main reservoir with E. coli O157:H7 inducing hemorrhagic enteritis in persistent shedding beef cattle, however little is known about how this pathogen affects cattle health. Jejunal Hemorrhage Syndrome (JHS) has unclear etiology but the pathology is similar to that described for E. coli O157:H7 challenged beef cattle suggestive that E. coli O157:H7 could be involved. There are no effective treatments for JHS however new approaches to managing pathogen issues in livestock using prebiotics and probiotics are gaining support. The first objective of the current study was to characterize pathogen colonization in hemorrhaged jejunum of dairy cattle during natural JHS outbreaks. The second objective was to confirm the association of mycotoxigenic fungi in feeds with the development of JHS and also to identify the presence of potential mycotoxins. The third objective was to determine the impact of a prebiotic, Celmanax™, or probiotic, Dairyman's Choice™ paste, on the cytotoxicity associated with feed extracts in vitro. The fourth objective was to determine the impact of a prebiotic or a probiotic on E. coli O157:H7 colonization of mucosal explants and a bovine colonic cell line in vitro. The final objective was to determine if prebiotic and probiotic feed additives could modify the symptoms that preceded JHS losses and the development of new JHS cases. Dairy cattle developed JHS after consuming feed containing several types of mycotoxigenic fungi including Fusarium culmorum, F. poae, F. verticillioides, F. sporotrichioides, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium roqueforti, P. crustosum, P. paneum and P. citrinum. Mixtures of Shiga toxin - producing Escherichia coli (STEC) colonized the mucosa in the hemorrhaged tissues of the cattle and no other pathogen was identified. The STECs expressed Stx1 and Stx2, but more significantly, Stxs were also present in the blood clot blocking the jejunum. Mycotoxin analysis of the corn crop confirmed the presence of fumonisin, NIV, ZEAR, DON, 15-ADON, 3-ADON, NEO, DAS, HT-2 and T-2. Feed extracts were toxic to enterocytes and 0.1% Celmanax™ removed the cytotoxicity in vitro. There was no effect of Dairyman's Choice™ paste on feed-extract activity in vitro. Fumonisin, T-2, ZEAR and DON were toxic to bovine cells and 0.1% Celmanax™ removed the cytotoxicity in vitro. Celmanax™ also directly decreased E. coli O157:H7 colonization of mucosal explants and a colonic cell line in a dose-dependent manner. There was no effect of Dairyman's Choice™ paste on E. coli O157:H7 colonization in vitro. The inclusion of the prebiotic and probiotic in the feed was associated with a decline in disease. The current study confirmed an association between mycotoxigenic fungi in the feed and the development of JHS in cattle. This association was further expanded to include mycotoxins in the feed and mixtures of STECs colonizing the severely hemorrhaged tissues. Future studies should examine the extent of involvement of the different STEC in the infection process. The prebiotic, Celmanax™, acted as an anti-adhesive for STEC colonization and a mycotoxin binder in vitro.

Both breast cancer and prostate cancer are a terrible challenge to face. Will the U.S follow the same path as other countries? Each year, many people worldwide face each disease, but breast cancer is the one we hear about most in the media, here I North America. If the U.S follows the same path as the one that’s transpired in the UK though, prostate cancer may soon be the focus. Recently, it was reported in the news that deaths from prostate cancer now outweigh those from breast cancer, in the United Kingdom. Experts are pinning it on the aging population.

Aflatoxin, Fumonisin and Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Infections in Calves and the Effectiveness of Celmanax®/Dairyman’s Choice™ Applications to Eliminate Morbidity and Mortality Losses
MDPI
Mycotoxin mixtures are associated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections in mature cattle. STEC are considered commensal bacteria in mature cattle suggesting that mycotoxins provide a mechanism that converts this bacterium to an opportunistic pathogen. In this study, we assessed the mycotoxin content of hemorrhaged mucosa in dairy calves during natural disease outbreaks, compared the virulence genes of the STECs, evaluated the effect of the mucosal mycotoxins on STEC toxin expression and evaluated a Celmanax®/Dairyman’s Choice™ application to alleviate disease. As for human infections, the OI-122 encoded nleB gene was common to STEC genotypes eliciting serious disease. Low levels of aflatoxin (1–3 ppb) and fumonisin (50–350 ppb) were detected in the hemorrhaged mucosa. Growth of the STECs with the mycotoxins altered the secreted protein concentration with a corresponding increase in cytotoxicity. Changes in intracellular calcium indicated that the mycotoxins increased enterotoxin and pore-forming toxin activity. A prebiotic/probiotic application eliminated the morbidity and mortality losses associated with the STEC infections. Our study demonstrates: the same STEC disease complex exists for immature and mature cattle; the significance of the OI-122 pathogenicity island to virulence; the significance of mycotoxins to STEC toxin activity; and, finally, provides further evidence that prebiotic/probiotic applications alleviate STEC shedding and mycotoxin/STEC interactions that lead to disease.
