Evaluation of in vitro toxicity of common phytochemicals included in weight loss supplements using 1H NMR spectroscopy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the toxicity of 12 active compounds commonly found in herbal weight loss supplements (WLS) using human liver and colon cell models. Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate was the only compound showing significant toxicity. Metabolic profiling revealed protein degradation, disrupted energy and lipid metabolism suggesting that the inclusion of EGCG ...

Probiotic efficacy of Cetobacterium somerae (CGMCC No. 28843): promoting intestinal digestion, absorption, and structural integrity in juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background Cetobacterium somerae, a symbiotic microorganism resident in various fish intestines, is recognized for its beneficial effects on fish gut health. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of C. somerae on gut health remain unclear.

Glutamine relieves feed restriction-induced ruminal epithelial function damage through histone lysine lactylation in yaks

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background As a unique livestock adapted to the harsh environment, grazing yaks frequently suffer from malnutrition and even death because of the lower yield and quality of forage in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau during the cold season.

Pioglitazone plus (−)‐epigallocatechin gallate: a novel approach to enhance osteogenic performance in aged bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Aged human bmMSCs are seeded in the scaffold. Osteoblastic induction can slightly increase cell's bone‐forming activity to produce bone‐like tissues, shown as the sporadic xylenol orange‐stained spots (the lower left image). Notably, pioglitazone plus EGCG co‐treatment dramatically increases cell's bone‐forming activity and bone‐like tissue production (

Exploring new benefits of vitamin A: alleviating hypoxia-induced mitochondrial stress and mitophagy in the gills of adult grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus)

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background Hypoxia is a pervasive challenge in aquaculture that poses a significant threat to aquatic organisms. Since fish cannot synthesize vitamin A endogenously, it must be supplied through diet, and it plays a vital role in supporting fish stress ...

Meta‐analysis fails to show any correlation between protein abundance and ubiquitination changes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We analyzed over 50 published proteomics datasets to explore the relationship between protein levels and ubiquitination changes across multiple experimental conditions and biological systems. Although ubiquitination is often associated with protein degradation, our analysis shows that changes in ubiquitination do not globally correlate with changes in ...

Erythropoietin modulates hepatic inflammation, glucose homeostasis, and soluble epoxide hydrolase and epoxides in high‐fat diet‐induced obese mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Erythropoietin administration suppresses hepatic soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) expression, leading to increased CYP‐derived epoxides. This is associated with a shift in hepatic macrophage polarization characterized by reduced M1 markers and increased M2 markers, along with reduced hepatic inflammation, suppressed hepatic lipogenesis, and attenuated ...
