Fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) is a prevalent metabolic disorder observed in egg-laying hens, characterized by fatty deposits and cellular steatosis the liver. Our preliminary investigations have revealed marked decrease concentration of butyric acid FLHS strain laying hens. It has been established that sodium butyrate (NaB) protects against disorders. However, underlying mechanism which modulates hepato-lipid metabolism to great extent remains unexplored. In this study, we constructed an isolated vitro model chicken primary hepatocytes induce hepatic free acids (FFA). results demonstrate treatment with NaB effectively mitigated FFA-induced inhibiting lipid accumulation, downregulating mRNA expression lipo-synthesis-related genes (sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1 (SREBF1), acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1(ACC1), synthase (FASN), stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1), X receptor α (LXRα), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR)) (P < 0.05), upregulating protein AMP-activated kinase α1 (AMPKα1), peroxisome proliferator-activated (PPARα), carnitine palmitoyl-transferase 1A (CPT1A) 0.05). Moreover, AMPK PPARα inhibitors (Compound C (Comp C) GW6471, respectively) reversed protective effects blocking AMPK/PPARα pathway, leading droplet accumulation triglyceride (TG) contents hepatocytes. With these findings, can alleviate hepatocyte lipoatrophy injury activating promoting oxidation, reducing synthesis hepatocytes, potentially being able provide new ideas for FLHS.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of metabolic disorders that concurrently act as factors promoting systemic pathologies such atherosclerosis or diabetes mellitus. It now believed to encompass six main interacting conditions: visceral fat, imbalance lipids (dyslipidemia), hypertension, insulin resistance (with without impairing both glucose tolerance and fasting blood sugar), inflammation. In the last 10 years, there has been progressive interest through scientific research investigations conducted in field metabolomics, confirming trend evaluate role metabolome, particularly intestinal one. The microbiota (IM) crucial due diversity microorganisms their abundance. Consequently, IM dysbiosis its derivate toxic metabolites have correlated with MetS. By intervening these two (dysbiosis consequently metabolome), we can potentially prevent slow down clinical effects MetS process. This, turn, may mitigate dysregulations axes, lung axis, thereby alleviating negative impact on respiratory pathology, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional intestinal disorder without clear pathological mechanisms. Classical treatments for IBS are not always effective and usually accompanied by side effects. Selenium-enriched Bifidobacterium longum DD98 (Se-B. DD98) selenized probiotic strain which has shown many beneficial effects on the gastrointestinal tract, but its underlying mechanism unclear. This study aims to investigate relieving of Se-B. chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced in mice. The model mice were treated with saline, B. DD98, or while receiving CUMS. results suggest that significantly relieved symptoms reduced permeability inflammation. depression anxiety-like behaviors also improved DD98. In addition, expression serotonin (5-HT), γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), neuropeptide Y (NPY), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), indicators closely related mood brain-gut axis, up-regulated Furthermore, 16S rRNA sequencing showed effectively restored relative abundance microbes (e.g., Lactobacillus, Desulfovibrio, Akkermansia) regulated impaired diversity gut microbiota These positively acts axis improving functions regulating mood-associated Therefore, this Se-enriched could be considered promising candidate alleviation CUMS-induced IBS.

Up to 40% of transplant recipients treated long-term with tacrolimus (TAC) develop post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM). TAC is an important risk factor for PTDM, but also essential immunosuppression after transplantation. Long-term treatment alters the gut microbiome, mechanisms TAC-induced microbiota in pathogenesis PTDM are poorly characterized. Here, we showed that vancomycin, inhibitor bacterial beta-glucuronidase (GUS), prevents glucose disorder and insulin resistance mice. Metagenomics shows GUS-producing bacteria predominant flourish hyperglycemia mouse model, upregulation intestinal GUS activity. Targeted metabolomics analysis revealed presence high activity, hydrolysis bile acid (BAs)-glucuronic conjugates increased most BAs overproduced serum liver, which, turn, activates ileal farnesoid X receptor (FXR) suppresses GLP-1 secretion by L-cells. The vancomycin significantly eliminated inhibited activity levels, thereby enhancing L-cell preventing hyperglycemia. Our results propose a novel clinical strategy inhibiting enzyme prevent without requiring withdrawal treatment. This exerted its effect through acid-FXR-GLP-1 pathway.
