Mapping Hydrogen Sulfide Biosynthesis and Oxidation Pathways in Placental Health and Disease: a Scoping Review

Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) plays an important role in placental function. Its bioavailability depends on the balance between enzymatic synthesis by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE/ CTH) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST/ MPST ), and...

Resistant starch as a dietary strategy for metabolic and gut health: Implications for Asia-Pacific populations.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Metabolic diseases are rising rapidly across the Asia-Pacific region as traditional diets are displaced by refined, low-fibre foods. Resistant starch (RS) is a fermentable dietary component that modulates gut microbial activity and short-chain fatty aci...
