Newest firstCow milk and plant-based milk alternatives (PBMAs) are widely consumed beverages, yet both can act as pathways for exposure to environmental contaminants originating from soil, water, and legacy agricultural practices. In this study, we quantified heavy metals (lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and arsenic (As)), macro- and micronutrients, and 24 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in cow milk and seven PBMAs (…
Open article record in new tab ↗Hemp seeds (Cannabis sativa L.) have received considerable attention due to their nutrient and phytochemical content. However, while the nutritional and functional profile of whole hemp seeds has been adequately described in the literature, these aspects have not been investigated for hulled seeds, especially germinated hemp seeds. Therefore, the aim of this work was to explore the nutritional and functional profi…
Open article record in new tab ↗Importance The association between maternal medications and the macronutrient composition of human milk has not been studied. Objective To compare macronutrient levels in milk samples from mothers treated with long-term medications with samples from untreated healthy and disease-matched control mothers (DMCs). Design, setting, and participants A cross-sectional study using samples collected between October 2014 an…
Open article record in new tab ↗Substance use disorders (SUDs) are widely prevalent in many countries, with the highest rates observed in nicotine and alcohol use, followed by opioid and cannabis use disorders. Within the field of SUDs, nutrition has become an increasingly important area of focus in both epidemiology and public health, as malnutrition is frequently observed among individuals affected by these disorders. Research indicates that p…
Cannabis sativa L., one of the oldest cultivated crops, has a complex domestication history due to its diverse uses for fibre, seed, oil, and drugs, and its wide geographic distribution. This review explores how human selection has shaped the biology of hemp and drug-type Cannabis, focusing on acquisition and utilization of nitrogen and phosphorus, and how resulting changes in source-sink relations shape their con…
Open article record in new tab ↗Certain foods and specific drugs have been linked to epilepsy in the literature. Here, we query PubMed citations for the co-occurrence of epilepsy with foods and drugs, using a list of 217,776 molecules from the HMDB. Notably, the top associations with epilepsy include approved drugs and drug families, diagnostic markers, inducers, and vitamins. Drugs include fosphenytoin (40%), topiramate (37%), valproic acid (34…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background/Objectives: Aromatase inhibitors (AIs)-specifically, letrozole, anastrozole and exemestane-represent the current gold standard for patients with estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer (ER + BC). This narrative review highlights potential interactions between nutrients and AIs, elucidating their molecular mechanisms involved. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across the PubMed, ScienceDirec…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis sativa L. has been utilised for food, fibre and medicine for millennia. However, historical legal constraints due to the presence of psychoactive cannabinoids have limited the use of the plant for human nutrition. For instance, in Australia, only dehulled hemp seeds and their derivatives have been available for human consumption since 2017, while the nutritional potential of other tissues remains overlook…
Open article record in new tab ↗The European Union's (EU) agricultural self-sufficiency is challenged by its reliance on imported plant proteins, particularly soy from the Americas, contributing to deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing the EU's protein deficit, this study evaluates alternative protein sources for aquaculture, focusing on their nutritional value, elemental content, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Pro…
Cannabis sativa remains under heavy legal restriction around the globe that prevents extensive investigations into agricultural applications for improving its development. This work investigates the potential of specific plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to improve Cannabis cannabinoid yield through increased trichome densities on floral organs, and to determine if sub-optimal environmental conditions wo…
Recently, there has been a growing interest in the recovery of agri-food waste within the circular economy perspective. In this study, the nutritional, phytochemical, and biological features of the cold-pressed hempseed oil (HSO) and hempseed meal (HSM) of two industrial hemp varieties (USO 31 and Futura 75, THC ≤ 0.2%) were evaluated. The HSOs showed a high total phenols and flavonoid content, which were confirme…
Nuts and seeds are an indispensable part of the plant-based diet, which is becoming increasingly popular due to the evidence of their health benefits and contribution to sustainability and planetary health. Since the health effects of consuming nuts and seeds directly depend on their nutritional composition and consumed amount, it is essential to know the exact chemical composition of each nut and seed so that app…
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a pivotal role in the complex control and regulation of food intake. Pharmacological ECS activation could improve health in energy-deficient stages by increasing food intake, at least in intermittent feeders. However, knowledge of the mechanism regulating appetite in species with continued nutrient delivery is incomplete. The objectives of this pilot study were to investigate…
Open article record in new tab ↗The objective of this study was to determine species-associated differences in the seed proximate and fatty acid composition of three traditional oil crop species, hemp (Cannabis sativa), flax (Linum usitatissimum), and camelina (Camelina sativa), and the sowing season of camelina harvested under Lithuanian farming conditions for food use. Camelina seeds had the highest (p < 0.001) content of protein, oil, and sug…
Open article record in new tab ↗Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) are an important group of drugs of several generations, ranging from the oldest phenobarbital (1912) to the most recent cenobamate (2019). Cannabidiol (CBD) is increasingly used to treat epilepsy. The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in 2019 created new challenges in the effective treatment of epilepsy in COVID-19 patients. The purpose of this review is to present data from the last…
Dietary digestion-resistant starch (RS) provides health benefits to the host via gut microbiome-mediated metabolism. The degree to which cats manifest beneficial changes in response to RS intake was examined. Healthy cats (N = 36) were fed identically formulated foods processed under high (n = 17) or low (n = 19) shear extrusion conditions (low and high RS levels [LRS and HRS], respectively). Fecal samples collect…
Open article record in new tab ↗The goal of this work was to analyze nutritional value of various minimally processed commercial products of plant protein sources such as faba bean (Vicia faba), lupin (Lupinus angustifolius), rapeseed press cake (Brassica rapa/napus subsp. Oleifera), flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum), oil hemp seed (Cannabis sativa), buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), and quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa). Basic composition and various nu…
