Algae as Food in Europe : An Overview of Species Diversity and Their Application
Mendes, Madalena C.; Navalho, Sofia; Ferreira, Alice; Paulino, Cristina; Figueiredo, Daniel; Silva, Daniel; Gao, Fengzheng; Gama, FlorindaAlgae have been consumed for millennia in several parts of the world as food, food supplements, and additives, due to their unique organoleptic properties and nutritional and health benefits. Algae are sustainable sources of proteins, minerals, and fiber, with well-balanced essential amino acids, pigments, and fatty acids, among other relevant metabolites for human nutrition. This review covers the historical c...
Cardiac phospholipidome is altered during ischemia and reperfusion in an ex viv...
Montero-Bullon, Javier-Fernando; Aveiro, Susana S.; Melo, Tânia; Martins-Marques, Tânia; Lopes, Diana; Neves, Bruna; Girão, HenriqueAcute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death, morbidity, and health costs worldwide. In AMI, a sudden blockage of blood flow causes myocardial ischemia and cell death. Reperfusion after ischemia has paradoxical effects and may exacerbate the myocardial injury, a process known as ischemic reperfusion injury. In this work we evaluated the lipidome of isolated rat hearts, maintained in controlle...
The SOUL family of heme-binding proteins: structure and function 15 years later
Goodfellow, Brian J.; Freire, Filipe; Carvalho, Ana Luísa; Aveiro, Susana S.; Charbonnier, Peggy; Moulis, Jean-Marc; Delgado, LeonildoThe SOUL, or heme-binding protein HBP/SOUL, family represents a group of evolutionary conserved putative heme-binding proteins that contains a number of members in animal, plant and bacterial species. The structures of the murine form of HEBP1, or p22HBP, and the human form of HEBP2, or SOUL, have been determined in 2006 and 2011 respectively. In this work we discuss the structures of HEBP1 and HEBP2 in light o...
The polar lipidome of cultured Emiliania huxleyi: a source of bioactive lipids ...
Aveiro, Susana S.; Melo, Tânia; Figueiredo, Ana; Domingues, Pedro; Pereira, Hugo; Maia, Inês Beatriz; Silva, Joana; Domingues, M. RosárioPolar lipids from microalgae have aroused greater interest as a natural source of omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), an alternative to fish, but also as bioactive compounds with multiple applications. The present study aims to characterize the polar lipid profile of cultured microalga Emiliania huxleyi using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrome...
