A mutation creating a potential illegitimate microRNA target site in the myostatin gene affects muscularity in sheep

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the GDF8 allele of Texel sheep is characterized by a G to A transition in the 3′ UTR that creates a target site for mir1 and mir206, microRNAs (miRNAs) that are highly expressed in skeletal muscle that causes translational inhibition of the myostatin gene and hence contributes to the muscular hypertrophy ofTexel sheep.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hesperidin contributes to the vascular protective effects of orange juice: a randomized crossover study in healthy volunteers.

TL;DR: In healthy, middle-aged, moderately overweight men, orange juice decreases DBP when regularly consumed and postprandially increases endothelium-dependent microvascular reactivity, suggesting that hesperidin could be causally linked to the beneficial effect of orange juice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Citrus flavanones: what is their role in cardiovascular protection?

TL;DR: Clinical and experimental data showed flavanones' antihypertensive, lipid-lowering, insulin-sensitizing, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory properties, which could explain their antiatherogenic action in animal models.
Journal ArticleDOI

miRNA as molecular target of polyphenols underlying their biological effects

TL;DR: Over 100 miRNAs, involved in the control of different cellular processes such as inflammation or apoptosis, were identified as modulated by polyphenols, and appear as interesting mediators in regulating polyphenol' biological effects.
