Association of serum trace elements with non-invasive fibrosis scores in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Liver biopsy is not a routine screening tool for detecting fibrosis progression in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Noninvasive methods based on serum biomarkers are used instead.

Short-Term Impact of Betaine Supplementation on Ruminal Microbial Relative Abundance, Nutrient Digestibility, Serum Metabolites, and Milk Composition in Heat-Stressed Dairy Cows. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Short‐term betaine supplementation (80 g/day for 4 weeks) improved thermoregulation, ruminal fermentation, and nutrient utilisation in heat‐stressed dairy cows. These effects enhanced feed intake, milk yield, and metabolic stability by modulating rumen microbiota and reducing inflammatory and oxidative stress responses.

Assessing whether serum ceruloplasmin promotes non-alcoholic steatohepatitis via regulating iron metabolism [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2023
Background: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The diagnostic gold standard for detecting NASH still relies upon an invasive pathological biopsy.
