Sex‐Specific Regulation of Glycemic Homeostasis by Theabrownin from Pu‐erh Tea
Pu‐erh tea's key component, theabrownin (TB), lowers blood glucose in a sex‐specific manner. In females, estrogen boosts intestinal MUC2 production, which dramatically enhances TB's ability to inhibit the carbohydrate‐digesting enzyme α‐glucosidase.

Mutations in SRD5B1 (AKR1D1), the gene encoding Delta(4)-3-oxosteroid 5 beta-reductase, in hepatitis and liver failure in infancy [PDF]
Background: A substantial group of patients with cholestatic liver disease in infancy excrete, as the major urinary bile acids, the glycine and taurine conjugates of 7alpha-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholenoic acid and 7alpha, 12alpha-dihydroxy-3- oxo-4-cholenoic ...

Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as Model Organisms in Biofactor Research
This review presents Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as powerful and ethically sound invertebrate model organisms that can be used to investigate nutritional science questions relating to biofactors. Such nutritional phenotyping studies can bridge the gap between in vitro studies and in vivo research in mammals.

Influence of different iron availability on phosphoenolpiruvate carboxilase and malate dehydrogenase in roots of maize (Zea Mays L.) plants grown under iron deficiency [PDF]
The effect of the different nitrate availability on some enzymatic activities has been evaluated in iron deficient and iron sufficient maize plants (Zea mays L.).

The underutilized parts viz: pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels showed promising antioxidant and inhibition of α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase activities (IC50 values ≤ 100 μg/mL). Similarly, pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels reduced postprandial hyperglycemia in sucrose‐ and maltose‐induced hyperglycemia in rats.

Background Pompe disease is caused by pathogenic variants in the GAA gene, resulting in lysosomal acid α-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency. The prevalence of Pompe disease is not well-defined, and estimates vary by geographic region.

The bioactive composition, antioxidant capacity, and glycemic‐regulating properties of Basella alba L. leaf, fruit, and stem were comparatively analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), in vitro assays, and molecular docking analyses.
