B N2 - The Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a model organism that has been increasingly used in health and environmental toxicity assessments. The quantification of such elements in vivo can assist in studies that seek to relate the exposure concentration to possible biological effects. Therefore, this study is the first to propose a method of quantitative analysis of 21 ions by ion chromatography (IC), which can be applied in different toxicity studies in C. elegans. The developed method was validated for 12 anionic species (fluoride, acetate, chloride, nitrite, bromide, nitrate, sulfate, oxalate, molybdate, dichromate, phosphate, and perchlorate), and 9 cationic species (lithium, sodium, ammonium, thallium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, calcium, and barium). The method did not present the presence of interfering species, with R2 varying between 0.9991 and 0.9999, with a linear range from 1 to 100 mu g L-1. Limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) values ranged from 0.2319 mu g L-1 to 1.7160 mu g L-1 and 0.7028 mu g L-1 to 5.1999 mu g L-1, respectively. The intraday and interday precision tests showed an Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) below 10.0 % and recovery ranging from 71.0 % to 118.0 % with a maximum RSD of 5.5 %. The method was applied to real samples of C. elegans treated with 200 uM of thallium acetate solution, determining the uptake and bioaccumulated Tl+ content during acute exposure.

JF - Journal of agricultural and food chemistry : a publication of the American Chemical Society N2 - Epidemiological data suggest that consuming diets rich in carotenoids can reduce the risk of developing several non-communicable diseases. Thus, we investigated the extent to which carotenoid contents of foods can be increased by the choice of food matrices with naturally high carotenoid contents and thermal processing methods that maintain their stability. For this purpose, carotenoids of 15 carrot (Daucus carota L.) cultivars of different colors were assessed with UHPLC-DAD-ToF-MS. Additionally, the processing effects of air drying, air frying, and deep frying on carotenoid stability were applied. Cultivar selection accounted for up to 12.9-fold differences in total carotenoid content in differently colored carrots and a 2.2-fold difference between orange carrot cultivars. Air frying for 18 and 25 min and deep frying for 10 min led to a significant decrease in total carotenoid contents. TEAC assay of lipophilic extracts showed a correlation between carotenoid content and antioxidant capacity in untreated carrots.

Recently, we initiated the collective diabetes cross, where four mouse inbred strains differing in their diabetes susceptibility were crossed with the obese and diabetes-prone NZO strain and identified the quantitative trait loci (QTL) Nidd13/NZO, a genomic region on chromosome 13 that correlates with hyperglycemia in NZO allele carriers compared to B6 controls. Subsequent analysis of the critical region, harboring 644 genes, included expression studies in pancreatic islets of congenic Nidd13/NZO mice, integration of single-cell data from parental NZO and B6 islets as well as haplotype analysis. Finally, of the five genes (Acot12, S100z, Ankrd55, Rnf180, and Iqgap2) within the polymorphic haplotype block that are differently expressed in islets of B6 compared to NZO mice, we identified the calcium-binding protein S100z gene to affect islet cell proliferation as well as apoptosis when overexpressed in MINE cells. In summary, we define S100z as the most striking gene to be causal for the diabetes QTL Nidd13/NZO by affecting beta-cell proliferation and apoptosis. Thus, S100z is an entirely novel diabetes gene regulating islet cell function.

In addition, healthy diets are needed to combat non-communicable diseases. Therefore, plant-based diets rich in health-promoting plant secondary metabolites are desirable. A saline indoor farming system is representing a sustainable and resilient new agrifood system and can preserve valuable fresh water. Since indoor farming relies on artificial lighting, assessment of lighting conditions is essential. In this thesis, the cultivation of halophytes in a saline indoor farming system was evaluated and the influence of cultivation conditions were assessed in favor of improving the nutritional quality of halophytes for human consumption. Therefore, five selected edible halophyte species (Brassica oleracea var. palmifolia, Cochlearia officinalis, Atriplex hortensis, Chenopodium quinoa, and Salicornia europaea) were cultivated in saline indoor farming. The halophyte species were selected for to their salt tolerance levels and mechanisms. First, the suitability of halophytes for saline indoor farming and the influence of salinity on their nutritional properties, e.g. plant secondary metabolites and minerals, were investigated. Changes in plant performance and nutritional properties were observed as a function of salinity. The response to salinity was found to be species-specific and related to the salt tolerance mechanism of the halophytes. At their optimal salinity levels, the halophytes showed improved carotenoid content. In addition, a negative correlation was found between the nitrate and chloride content of halophytes as a function of salinity. Since chloride and nitrate can be antinutrient compounds, depending on their content, monitoring is essential, especially in halophytes. Second, regional brine water was introduced as an alternative saline water resource in the saline indoor farming system. Brine water was shown to be feasible for saline indoor farming of halophytes, as there was no adverse effect on growth or nutritional properties, e.g. carotenoids. Carotenoids were shown to be less affected by salt composition than by salt concentration. In addition, the interaction between the salinity and the light regime in indoor farming and greenhouse cultivation has been studied. There it was shown that interacting light regime and salinity alters the content of carotenoids and chlorophylls. Further, glucosinolate and nitrate content were also shown to be influenced by light regime. Finally, the influence of UVB light on halophytes was investigated using supplemental narrow-band UVB LEDs. It was shown that UVB light affects the growth, phenotype and metabolite profile of halophytes and that the UVB response is species specific. Furthermore, a modulation of carotenoid content in S. europaea could be achieved to enhance health-promoting properties and thus improve nutritional quality. This was shown to be dose-dependent and the underlying mechanisms of carotenoid accumulation were also investigated. Here it was revealed that carotenoid accumulation is related to oxidative stress. In conclusion, this work demonstrated the potential of halophytes as alternative vegetables produced in a saline indoor farming system for future diets that could contribute to ensuring food security in the future. To improve the sustainability of the saline indoor farming system, LED lamps and regional brine water could be integrated into the system. Since the nutritional properties have been shown to be influenced by salt, light regime and UVB light, these abiotic stressors must be taken into account when considering halophytes as alternative vegetables for human nutrition. N2 - Angesichts zahlreicher Herausforderungen wie Wasserknappheit oder Verlust landwirtschaftlicher Nutzflächen aufgrund des Klimawandels, Bevölkerungswachstum und Verstädterung sind neue Systeme der Agrar- und Lebensmittelproduktion (Agrifood-Systeme) erforderlich, um die Ernährungssicherheit in der Zukunft zu gewährleisten. Eines dieser neuen Agrifood-Systeme ist das Indoor Farming. Es bietet den Vorteil einer nachhaltigen und resilienten Nahrungsmittelproduktion. In Kombination mit dem Anbau von Salzpflanzen kann wertvolles Süßwasser eingespart werden, da diese mit Salzwasser bewässert werden können. Durch eine pflanzliche Ernährung, die reich an sekundären Pflanzenstoffen mit gesundheitsfördernden Eigenschaften ist, kann eine gesunde Ernährung erreicht werden. Dadurch kann das Risiko für nicht übertragbare Krankheiten wie Diabetes oder Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen gesenkt werden. In dieser Arbeit wurde untersucht, ob salztolerante Pflanzen (Halophyten) als alternatives Gemüse für die menschliche Ernährung geeignet sind und ob sie in einem salzhaltigen Indoor Farming System angebaut werden können. Zu diesem Zweck wurden fünf essbare Halophyten (Palmkohl, Gartenmelde, Löffelkraut, Quinoa und Europäische Queller) untersucht. Mit diesen Halophyten wurden verschiedene Pflanzenstudien durchgeführt, um den Einfluss von Salz, Licht und UVB-Strahlung auf für die menschliche Ernährung relevante Inhaltsstoffe zu untersuchen. In der ersten Studie wurde untersucht, welchen Einfluss das salzhaltige Indoor Farming System auf die Salzpflanzen und ihre Inhaltsstoffe hat. Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass sich die Inhaltsstoffe mit steigender Salzkonzentration im Wasser verändern. Weiterhin wurde untersucht, ob sich regionales Solewasser aus einer Thermalquelle als Salzwasserressource eignet. Es zeigte sich, dass das Solewasser keine negativen Auswirkungen auf das Wachstum oder die Inhaltsstoffe hat. Darüber hinaus wurde das Indoor-Farming System mit dem klassischen Gewächshausanbau von Salzpflanzen verglichen. Dabei zeigte sich ein Einfluss der unterschiedlichen Beleuchtung auf die Inhaltsstoffe. Schließlich wurde der Einsatz von UVB-LEDs als zusätzliche Beleuchtung getestet. Dabei wurde eine Verbesserung des Inhaltsstoffprofils erreicht. Zusammenfassend konnte in dieser Arbeit gezeigt werden, dass Salzpflanzen in Indoor-Farming kultiviert werden können und dass die ernährungsphysiologischen Eigenschaften durch Salz, Beleuchtung und UVB-Licht beeinflusst werden können.

Moreover, there is a current trend towards sustainable local solutions for aquaculture and saline agriculture. In this context, halophytes are becoming increasingly important for research and the food industry. As Salicornia europaea is a highly salt-tolerant obligate halophyte that can be used as a food crop, indoor cultivation with saline water is of particular interest. Therefore, finding a sustainable alternative to the use of seawater in non-coastal regions is crucial. Our goal was to determine whether natural brines, which are widely distributed and often available in inland areas, provide an alternative water source for the cultivation of saline organisms. This case study investigated the potential use of natural brines for the production of S. europaea. In the control group, which reflects the optimal growth conditions, fresh weight was increased, but there was no significant difference between the treatment groups comparing natural brines with artificial sea water. A similar pattern was observed for carotenoids and chlorophylls. Individual components showed significant differences. However, within treatments, there were mostly no changes. In summary, we showed that the influence of the different chloride concentrations was higher than the salt composition. Moreover, nutrient-enriched natural brine was demonstrated to be a suitable alternative for cultivation of S. europaea in terms of yield and nutritional quality. Thus, the present study provides the first evidence for the future potential of natural brine waters for the further development of aquaculture systems and saline agriculture in inland regions.

It modulates the postprandial balance of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins via enhancing lipogenesis, glycogen and protein synthesis and suppressing glucose generation and its release from the liver. Resistance to insulin is a severe metabolic disorder related to a diminished response of peripheral tissues to the insulin action and signaling. This leads to a disturbed glucose homeostasis that precedes the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D), a disease reaching epidemic proportions. A large number of studies reported an association between elevated circulating fatty acids and the development of insulin resistance. The increased fatty acid lipid flux results in the accumulation of lipid droplets in a variety of tissues. However, lipid intermediates such as diacylglycerols and ceramides are also formed in response to elevated fatty acid levels. These bioactive lipids have been associated with the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. More recently, sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), another bioactive sphingolipid derivative, has also been shown to increase in T2D and obesity. Although many studies propose a protective role of S1P metabolism on insulin signaling in peripheral tissues, other studies suggest a causal role of S1P on insulin resistance. In this review, we critically summarize the current state of knowledge of S1P metabolism and its modulating role on insulin resistance. A particular emphasis is placed on S1P and insulin signaling in hepatocytes, skeletal muscle cells, adipocytes and pancreatic 13-cells. In particular, modulation of receptors and enzymes that regulate S1P metabolism can be considered as a new therapeutic option for the treatment of insulin resistance and T2D.

This is related to the ability to produce more on less land and to use resources responsibly and efficiently. Crop yield has long been considered the most important factor. However, as plant-based diets have been proposed for a sustainable food system, the targeted enrichment of health-promoting plant secondary metabolites should be addressed. These metabolites include carotenoids and flavonoids, which are associated with several health benefits, such as cardiovascular health and cancer protection. Cover materials generally have an influence on the climatic conditions, which in turn can affect the levels of secondary metabolites in vegetables grown underneath. Plastic materials are cost-effective and their properties can be modified by incorporating additives, making them the first choice. However, these additives can migrate and leach from the material, resulting in reduced service life, increased waste and possible environmental release. Antifogging additives are used in agricultural films to prevent the formation of droplets on the film surface, thereby increasing light transmission and preventing microbiological contamination. This thesis focuses on LDPE/EVA covers and incorporated antifogging additives for sustainable protected cultivation, following two different approaches. The first addressed the direct effects of leached antifogging additives using simulation studies on lettuce leaves (Lactuca sativa var capitata L). The second determined the effect of antifog polytunnel covers on lettuce quality. Lettuce is usually grown under protective cover and can provide high nutritional value due to its carotenoid and flavonoid content, depending on the cultivar. To study the influence of simulated leached antifogging additives on lettuce leaves, a GC-MS method was first developed to analyze these additives based on their fatty acid moieties. Three structurally different antifogging additives (reference material) were characterized outside of a polymer matrix for the first time. All of them contained more than the main fatty acid specified by the manufacturer. Furthermore, they were found to adhere to the leaf surface and could not be removed by water or partially by hexane. The incorporation of these additives into polytunnel covers affects carotenoid levels in lettuce, but not flavonoids, caffeic acid derivatives and chlorophylls. Specifically, carotenoids were higher in lettuce grown under polytunnels without antifog than with antifog. This has been linked to their effect on the light regime and was suggested to be related to carotenoid function in photosynthesis. In terms of protected cultivation, the use of LDPE/EVA polytunnels affected light and temperature, and both are closely related. The carotenoid and flavonoid contents of lettuce grown under polytunnels was reversed, with higher carotenoid and lower flavonoid levels. At the individual level, the flavonoids detected in lettuce did not differ however, lettuce carotenoids adapted specifically depending on the time of cultivation. Flavonoid reduction was shown to be transcriptionally regulated (CHS) in response to UV light (UVR8). In contrast, carotenoids are thought to be regulated post-transcriptionally, as indicated by the lack of correlation between carotenoid levels and transcripts of the first enzyme in carotenoid biosynthesis (PSY) and a carotenoid degrading enzyme (CCD4), as well as the increased carotenoid metabolic flux. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms and metabolite adaptation strategies could further advance the strategic development and selection of cover materials. N2 - Der geschützte Anbau in Gewächshäusern oder unter Folientunneln bietet die Möglichkeit einer nachhaltigen Produktion von ertragreichem Gemüse hoher Qualität. Die ressourceneffiziente Produktion von mehr auf weniger Fläche ist dabei ein wichtiger Faktor. Lange galt der Gemüseertrag als wichtigstes Kriterium. Die Anreicherung von gesundheitsfördernden sekundären Pflanzenmetaboliten gewinnt jedoch zunehmend an Bedeutung, nicht zuletzt durch die empfohlene pflanzenbasierte Ernährung für ein nachhaltiges Ernährungssystem. Die Sekundärmetabolite Carotinoide und Flavonoide sind mit verschiedenen gesundheitlichen Vorteilen assoziiert, etwa der kardiovaskulären Gesundheit und der Krebsprävention. Das Material eines Gewächshauses beeinflusst die klimatischen Bedingungen im geschützten Anbau. Das resultierende Mikroklima kann sich wiederum auf den Gehalt an Sekundärmetaboliten im Gemüse auswirken. Materialien aus Kunststoff sind kostengünstig und ihre Eigenschaften können durch Zusätze, sogenannte Additive, modifiziert werden. Additive können an die Oberfläche des Materials und aus diesem migrieren, was die Materiallebensdauer einerseits verkürzt und größere Abfallmengen produziert. Andererseits besteht das Risiko einer Umweltemission der Additive. Antifogging-Additive verhindern die Bildung von Kondenswasser Tropfen auf der Oberfläche von Gewächshausfolien, wodurch die Lichtdurchlässigkeit der Folien verbessert, sowie eine mikrobiologische Kontamination vermieden werden kann. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit LDPE/EVA-Gewächshausfolien mit Antifogging-Additiven für einen nachhaltigen geschützten Anbau und verfolgt dabei zwei unterschiedliche Herangehensweisen. Zum einen befasst sich die Arbeit mit den direkten Auswirkungen von Antifogging-Additiven in Folge eines Übergangs auf Salatblätter (Lactuca sativa var. capitata L.) mittels Simulationsversuchen. Um den simulierten Übergang zu untersuchen, wurde zunächst eine Methode zur Analyse des Fettsäureanteils der Additive mittels GC-MS entwickelt. Drei strukturell unterschiedliche Antifogging-Additive (Referenzmaterial) wurden erstmals außerhalb einer Polymermatrix charakterisiert. Sie enthielten diverse Fettsäuren, und somit mehr, als die vom Hersteller angegebene Hauptfettsäure. Des Weiteren wurde gezeigt, dass sie an der Blattoberfläche haften und weder durch Wasser noch teilweise durch Hexan entfernt werden können. Zum anderen wurde der Einfluss von Antifogging-Additiven in Gewächshausfolien auf die Salatqualität untersucht. Salat ist ein Gemüse, das üblicherweise auch unter Schutzabdeckungen angebaut wird und sortenspezifisch größere Mengen an Carotinoiden und Flavonoiden enthält. Der Anbau von Salat unter Antifog-Folientunneln beeinflusste den Carotinoidgehalt, nicht aber den Gehalt an Flavonoiden, Kaffeesäurederivaten und Chlorophyll. Salate, die unter Folientunneln ohne Antifog angebaut wurde akkumulierten höhere Gehalte der Carotinoide, als solche unter Antifog-Folientunneln. Es besteht wahrscheinlich ein Zusammenhang mit der Funktion der Carotinoide als Photosynthesepigmente und der Lichtumgebung. Die Verwendung von LDPE/EVA-Folientunneln beeinflusste allgemein Licht und Temperatur im geschützten Anbau, beide Faktoren sind eng verknüpft. Die Carotinoid- und Flavonoidgehalte waren dabei invers, mit höheren gesamt Carotinoid- und niedrigeren gesamt Flavonoidgehalten von Salaten unter Folientunneln. Die individuellen Flavonoid-Glykoside unterschieden sich innerhalb der Versuchszeiträume (Frühjahr und Herbst) nicht. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass diese hinsichtlich der UV-Lichtumgebung (UVR8) transkriptionell reguliert werden (CHS). Demgegenüber fanden spezifische Anpassungen der individuellen Carotinoidmetabolite in den Versuchszeiträumen statt. Die fehlende Korrelation der Carotinoidmetabolite und der Transkripte des Hauptenzyms der Biosynthese (PSY) und eines Carotinoid-abbauenden Enzyms (CCD4) sowie der erhöhte Carotinoid-Stoffwechselfluss deuten auf eine post-transkriptionelle Regulierung hin. Die Regulationsmechanismen und Anpassungsstrategien der sekundären Pflanzenstoffe in Gemüse zu verstehen, könnte zukünftig zur strategischen Entwicklung und Auswahl von Gewächshausmaterialien beitragen.

T1 - Plant foods, dietary fibre and risk of ischaemic heart disease in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort T2 - Zweitveröffentlichungen der Universität Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe N2 - Background: Epidemiological evidence indicates that diets rich in plant foods are associated with a lower risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD), but there is sparse information on fruit and vegetable subtypes and sources of dietary fibre. This study examined the associations of major plant foods, their subtypes and dietary fibre with risk of IHD in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Methods: We conducted a prospective analysis of 490 311 men and women without a history of myocardial infarction or stroke at recruitment (12.6 years of follow-up, n cases = 8504), in 10 European countries. Dietary intake was assessed using validated questionnaires, calibrated with 24-h recalls. Multivariable Cox regressions were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) of IHD. Results: There was a lower risk of IHD with a higher intake of fruit and vegetables combined [HR per 200 g/day higher intake 0.94, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.90-0.99, P-trend = 0.009], and with total fruits (per 100 g/day 0.97, 0.95-1.00, P-trend = 0.021). There was no evidence for a reduced risk for fruit subtypes, except for bananas. Risk was lower with higher intakes of nuts and seeds (per 10 g/day 0.90, 0.82-0.98, Ptrend = 0.020), total fibre (per 10 g/day 0.91, 0.85-0.98, P-trend = 0.015), fruit and vegetable fibre (per 4 g/day 0.95, 0.91-0.99, P-trend = 0.022) and fruit fibre (per 2 g/day 0.97, 0.95-1.00, P-trend = 0.045). No associations were observed between vegetables, vegetables subtypes, legumes, cereals and IHD risk. Conclusions: In this large prospective study, we found some small inverse associations between plant foods and IHD risk, with fruit and vegetables combined being the most strongly inversely associated with risk. Whether these small associations are causal remains unclear.
