SUMMARY The COVID-19 pandemic is spreading globally with high disparity in the susceptibility of disease severity. Identification key underlying factors for this highly warranted. Here we describe constructing a proteomic risk score based on 20 blood biomarkers which predict progression to severe COVID-19. We demonstrate that our own cohort 990 individuals without infection, positively associated proinflammatory cytokines mainly among older, but not younger, individuals. further discovered core set gut microbiota could accurately above 301 using machine learning model, and these features are correlated another 366 Fecal metabolomic analysis suggested potential amino acid-related pathways linking inflammation. This study suggests may underlie predisposition normal

The gut microbiota is now considered as one of the key elements contributing to regulation host health. Virtually all our body sites are colonised by microbes suggesting different types crosstalk with organs. Because development molecular tools and techniques (ie, metagenomic, metabolomic, lipidomic, metatranscriptomic), complex interactions occurring between microorganisms progressively being deciphered. Nowadays, deviations linked many diseases including obesity, type 2 diabetes, hepatic steatosis, intestinal bowel (IBDs) several cancer. Thus, that various pathways involved in immunity, energy, lipid glucose metabolism affected. In this review, specific attention given provide a critical evaluation current understanding field. Numerous mechanisms explaining how bacteria might be causally protection or onset discussed. We examine well-established metabolites short-chain fatty acids, bile trimethylamine N-oxide) extend more recently identified actors endocannabinoids, bioactive lipids, phenolic-derived compounds, advanced glycation end products enterosynes) their receptors such peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) gamma (PPARγ), aryl hydrocarbon (AhR), G protein-coupled GPR41, GPR43, GPR119, Takeda 5). Altogether, complexity aspects linking health will help set basis for novel therapies already developed.

Ageing is accompanied by remodeling of the immune system. With time, this leads to a decline in efficacy, resulting increased vulnerability infectious diseases, diminished responses vaccination, and susceptibility age-related inflammatory diseases. An age-associated alteration, extensively reported previous studies, reduction number peripheral blood naïve cells, with relative increase frequency memory cells. These two alterations, together inflamm-ageing, are considered hallmarks immunosenescence. Although ageing plastic process, it influenced both nutritional pharmacological interventions. Therefore, role nutrition immunomodulation immunosenescence discussed, due multifactorial influence on these hallmarks. The close connection between nutrition, intake bioactive nutrients supplements, function, inflammation demonstrate key dietary strategies as regulators response status, hence possible modulators rate In addition, potential options for therapeutic intervention clarified. particular, use interleukin-7 growth factor T function checkpoint inhibitors improving cell during and, drugs that inhibit mitogen-activated protein kinases their interaction nutrient signaling pathways discussed. Finally, suggested inclusion appropriate combinations toll-like receptor agonists may enhance efficacy vaccination older adults.

Mitochondrial uncoupling can be defined as a dissociation between mitochondrial membrane potential generation and its use for mitochondria-dependent ATP synthesis. Although this process was originally considered dysfunction, the identification of UCP-1 an endogenous physiological protein suggests that could involved in many other biological processes. In review, we first compare agents available term mechanistic non-specific effects. Proteins regulating uncoupling, well chemical compounds with properties are discussed. Second, summarize most recent findings linking cellular or processes, such bulk specific autophagy, reactive oxygen species production, secretion, cell death, physical exercise, metabolic adaptations adipose tissue, signaling. Finally, show how used to treat several human diseases, obesity, cardiovascular neurological disorders.

The prevalence of obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM) has been consistently increasing worldwide. Sharing powerful genetic environmental features in their pathogenesis, amplifies the impact susceptibility factors on DM. ectopic expansion adipose tissue excessive accumulation certain nutrients metabolites sabotage metabolic balance via insulin resistance, dysfunctional autophagy, microbiome-gut-brain axis, further exacerbating dysregulation immunometabolism through low-grade systemic inflammation, leading to an accelerated loss functional β-cells gradual elevation blood glucose. Given these intricate connections, most available treatments type 2 DM (T2DM) have a mutual effect each other. For example, anti-obesity drugs can be anti-diabetic some extent, medicines, contrast, shown increase body weight, such as insulin. Meanwhile, surgical procedures, especially bariatric surgery, are more effective for both T2DM. Besides guaranteeing availability accessibility all diagnostic therapeutic tools, clinical experimental investigations pathogenesis two diseases warranted improve efficacy safety newly developed treatments.

Physical exercise has beneficial effects on metabolic diseases, and a combined therapeutic regimen of regular pharmaceutical treatment is often recommended for their clinical management. However, the mechanisms by which produces these are not fully understood. Myokines, group skeletal muscle (SkM) derived peptides may play an important part in this process. Myokines produced, expressed released fibers under contraction exert both local pleiotropic effects. such as IL-6, IL-10 IL-1ra during physical mediate its health benefits.
