A combined pig model to determine the net absorption of volatile fatty acids in the large intestine under different levels of crude fiber [PDF]
Background This study aimed to develop a combined model to quantify the net absorption of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in the large intestine (LI) of pigs. Methods Fifteen female growing pigs (Duroc × Large White × Landrace) were ranked by body weight (30 ±

Circulating amino acids and amino acid-related metabolites and risk of breast cancer among predominantly premenopausal women [PDF]
Known modifiable risk factors account for a small fraction of premenopausal breast cancers. We investigated associations between pre-diagnostic circulating amino acid and amino acid-related metabolites (N = 207) and risk of breast cancer among ...

Net Portal Appearance of Amino Acids in Iberian and Landrace Pigs Fed Different Protein Content in the Diet [PDF]
Iberian pigs have low rates of muscle protein deposition compared with modern breeds. Differences in net portal appearance (NPA) of amino acids (AA) might partially explain that. NPA of AA was measured in six Iberian and six Landrace gilts (28 kg) fitted

Age‐dependent changes in the gut microbiota and serum metabolome correlate with renal function and human aging [PDF]
A comprehensive analysis of the gut metagenome and serum metabolome of individuals from a Chinese longevity cohort. We discovered distinct age‐dependent differences in both microbiota and serum metabolome. Through mediation analyses and fecal microbiota transplantation, we uncovered a potential causal relationship between the microbiota and metabolite ...

Development of a Dynamic Physiologically Based Mechanistic Kidney Model to Predict Renal Clearance
Renal clearance is usually predicted via empirical approaches including quantitative structure activity relationship and allometric scaling. Recently, mechanistic prediction approaches using in silico kidney models have been proposed.

The role of adipose and muscle tissue breakdown on interorgan energy substrate fluxes in a Pseudomonas aeruginosa induced sepsis model in female pigs [PDF]
Abstract Sepsis leads to an acute breakdown of muscle to support increased caloric and amino acid requirements. Little is known about the role of adipose and muscle tissue breakdown and intestinal metabolism in glucose substrate supply during the acute phase of sepsis.

Blood L‐cystine levels positively related to increased risk of hypertension [PDF]
Abstract Hypertension is one component of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Here, the study evaluated hypertension‐associated metabolites in relation to other MetS components. Fasting plasma samples were collected from 22 hypertensive and 63 normotensive subjects for non‐targeted metabolomics.

Screening study of hydroxytyrosol metabolites from in vitro fecal fermentation and their interaction with intestinal barrier repair receptor AhR [PDF]
Abstract Olive oil polyphenol hydroxytyrosol (HT) significantly repairs intestinal barrier function, but its absorption in the stomach and small intestine is limited. The metabolites of unabsorbed HT that reach the colon are crucial, yet their effects on colonic microbiota and intestinal barrier repair remain unclear.
