The Gut Commensal Butyricimonas Virosa Modulates Gut Microbiota‐Dependent Thiamine Metabolism and Attenuates Mouse Steatotic Liver Disease [PDF]
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a common chronic liver disease. This study investigates the anti‐MASLD effects of dietary prebiotic stachyose (STA) on disease progression identifying Butyricimonas virosa as a key ...

Clinical Profiles, Genetic Variants, and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes Following Liver Transplantation in Maple Syrup Urine Disease: A Study From Palestine. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare, autosomal recessive metabolic disorder resulting from a deficiency of the branched‐chain α‐ketoacid dehydrogenase complex. This leads to the accumulation of branched‐chain amino acids and their corresponding ketoacids, causing acute metabolic crises and progressive neurological damage if untreated ...

The Complex Relation of Branched-Chain Amino Acids and Inflammation in the Obesity and Diabetes Context. [PDF]
ABSTRACT In a scenario with increasing cases of obesity and diabetes worldwide, branched‐chain amino acids (BCAA) metabolism has become an important factor in the understanding of these pathologies. More recently, its chronic high plasma levels have been postulated, alongside glucose, inflammatory factors, and other molecules, as an important ...

Mitochondria-Related Pathogenic Genes in Paediatric Asthma: A Multi-Omics Mendelian Randomization Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in asthma pathogenesis, but causal roles of mitochondrial‐related genes in paediatric asthma remain unclear. We performed a multi‐omics Mendelian randomization study integrating GWAS data from paediatric asthma cohorts with blood‐based methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTLs), expression QTLs (eQTLs ...

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors—but not insulin—enhance renal branched-chain amino acid catabolism [PDF]
Aims/hypothesisSodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) confer cardio-renal protection, and recent work implicates enhanced branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism as a potential mechanism in the heart.

Regional Differences in Cardiac Marker Gene Expression and Branched-Chain Amino Acid Metabolism in the Bovine Heart [PDF]
Although the hearts of large animals are known to exhibit regional heterogeneity in structure, function, and metabolism, their spatial patterns of gene expression remain poorly understood.

Adenine base editing rescues disrupted BCKDH function and reduces BCAAs toxic accumulation in maple syrup urine disease patient iPSC-hepatic organoids [PDF]
Background Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency in the activity of the hepatic branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex, which leads to the toxic accumulation of three branched-chain ...

Expanding the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of Egyptian children with maple syrup urine disease [PDF]
Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD, OMIM# 248600) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism characterized by elevated branched chain amino acids (BCAA) leucine/isoleucine and valine in blood of affected children.

Altered branched chain ketoacids underlie shared metabolic phenotypes in type 1 diabetes and maple syrup urine disease [PDF]
Background Diabetic ketoacidosis is an acute, potentially life-threatening, metabolic complication and often first presentation of type 1 diabetes (T1D) mellitus. Here, we investigated the metabolic and lipid profiles from pediatric patients with T1D, at
