Identification, Quantification, and Anti-inflammatory Activity of 5- n-Alkylresorcinols from 21 Different Wheat
Abstract:
The characteristic constituent and anti-inflammatory activity of 5- n-alkylresorcinols (ARs) from 21 wheat bran samples in China were investigated in this study. The amount of ARs ranged from 697 to 1732 μg/g in the tested samples, which were composed of five different homologues. Among these homologues, C19:0 and C21:0 were the most abundant, followed by C17:0, C23:0, and C25:0. Moreover, the mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in LPS-activated RAW264.7 macrophage cells were significantly inhibited by ARs supplementation. The molecular mechanisms behind its anti-inflammatory activity could result from the suppression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and JNK/MAPK activation. ARs treatment notably decreased NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation and inhibitor κB (IκBα) kinase and JNK phosphorylation. Additionally, ARs homologues C17:0 had been proven to be the main active constituent. The results from this study could be used to promote the comprehensive utilization of wheat and its byproducts in improving human health.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
