Food sensitivity is considered to be implicated in obesity via chronic inflammation. Obesity has become a global epidemic, and overweight is a gateway to obesity. Hence, understanding the effect of food sensitivity on overweight is important for public health. To examine the association between food sensitivity and overweight, we compared the levels of diverse serological IgGs (total IgG, food-specific IgG [sIgG], and total food-sIgG [the sum of food-sIgG]) between overweight and lean Korean adults. A total of 164 Koreans aged 19–29 years participated in the study. We collected serum samples, information on frequency of food consumption, and height and weight measures to calculate body mass index (BMI). Immunoassays were performed using protein microarrays to determine total IgG, food-sIgG for each of the 68 food antigens, and the total food-sIgG. Participants were classified as overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 ) or lean (BMI < 25 kg/m 2 ). The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare the decile scores of IgG values between the groups. The total IgG ( P = 0.58) and total food-sIgG scores ( P = 0.27) did not differ significantly between the groups, precluding chronic inflammation as the cause of overweight. However, in the overweight group, food-sIgG scores against dairy products and seafood were significantly higher ( P < 0.05), whereas those against fruit and vegetables were significantly lower ( P < 0.05). In overweight individuals, food-sIgG scores against milk were not associated with the actual consumption ( P = 0.76), suggesting higher food-sIgG as an indicator of higher sensitivity than of higher consumption. Higher sensitivity to dairy foods and seafood and lower sensitivity to fruit and vegetables are likely associated with weight gain. Future studies are warranted to understand the heterogeneous associations between food-sIgGs and overweight.

<P>Live-cell-based biosensors have emerged as a useful tool for biotechnology and chemical biology. Genetically encoded sensor cells often use bimolecular fluorescence complementation or fluorescence resonance energy transfer to build a reporter unit that suffers from nonspecific signal activation at high concentrations. Here, we designed genetically encoded sensor cells that can report the presence of biologically active molecules via fluorescence-translocation based on split intein-mediated conditional protein trans-splicing (PTS) and conditional protein trans-cleavage (PTC) reactions. In this work, the target molecules or the external stimuli activated intein-mediated reactions, which resulted in activation of the fluorophore-conjugated signal peptide. This approach fully valued the bond-making and bond-breaking features of intein-mediated reactions in sensor construction and thus eliminated the interference of false-positive signals resulting from the mere binding of fragmented reporters. We could also avoid the necessity of designing split reporters to refold into active structures upon reconstitution. These live-cell-based sensors were able to detect biologically active signaling molecules, such as Ca<SUP>2+</SUP> and cortisol, as well as relevant biological stimuli, such as histamine-induced Ca<SUP>2+</SUP> stimuli and the glucocorticoid receptor agonist, dexamethasone. These live-cell-based sensing systems hold large potential for applications such as drug screening and toxicology studies, which require functional information about targets.</P> [FIG OMISSION]</BR>
