Abstract Background Dyslipidemia and abnormalities in cholesterol metabolism are commonly observed individuals with gallstone disease. Previous research has demonstrated that dietary magnesium can influence lipid metabolism. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) emerged as a novel marker. This study aimed to examine the possible correlation between intake gallstones potential mediating role AIP US adults. Methods A total 4,841 adults were included this from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted 2017 2020. variety statistical techniques such logistic regression, subgroup analysis, smoothed curve fitting, causal mediation analysis utilized analyze information collected participants. Results In fully adjusted model, statistically noteworthy inverse relationship was presence gallstones, indicated by an odds ratio (OR) 0.58 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.42, 0.81). Causal intermediary revealed association partially mediated AIP, 3.2%. Conclusion According study, had significant linear negative prevalence which played role. discovery offers perspectives on prevention management gallstones.

With the increasing annual production of Lentinula edodes , residues Lentinus are mass produced and wasted every year. In order to further explore added value effective utilization we studied lipid-lowering efficacy liver protective effect soluble dietary fiber in mice on high-fat diet. Project team from extracted fiber, its physicochemical properties, selected 30 male mice, randomly divided into normal group (N), high fat diet (F), add low dose (FL), medium (FM), (FH) five groups. After 4 weeks, assessed general state, organ conditions, status, blood parameters, expression hepatic lipid metabolism genes, mRNA levels key genes. The results showed that molecular weight is about 17.029 kDa, monosaccharides such as galactose, glucose mannitol connected by β-glycosidic bond. can effectively slow growth due diet, delay tissue lesions, reduce ALT, AST, ACP, LDL-C, TG, TV, FFA, SOD, GSH MDA, increase γ-GT, HDL-C CAT blood. decreased AMPKα SREBP-2 liver, increased PPARα, ACS, CPT1a, CYP7A1.
