Advances in the Gut‐Lung Axis and Bronchial Asthma: From Mechanisms to Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT Background Bronchial asthma (hereafter referred to as asthma) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), and reversible airflow limitation. Recent advancements in the “gut‐lung” axis concept have elucidated the intricate immunometabolic crosstalk between the gastrointestinal tract

Unraveling the functional role of the orphan solute carrier, SLC22A24 in the transport of steroid conjugates through metabolomic and genome-wide association studies. [PDF]
Variation in steroid hormone levels has wide implications for health and disease. The genes encoding the proteins involved in steroid disposition represent key determinants of interindividual variation in steroid levels and ultimately, their effects ...

Endogenous biomarkers for drug transporters are an emerging tool for the assessment of transporter‐mediated drug–drug interactions (DDI). Glycochenodeoxycholic acid 3‐O‐sulfate (GCDCA‐S) has been proposed as a Tier 2 biomarker of hepatic OATP1B3 and renal OAT3 transporters by the International Transporter Consortium.

27-Hydroxycholesterol: production rates in normal human subjects
We attempted to quantitate production of bile acid via the 27-hydroxylation pathway in six human subjects. After bolus intravenous injection of known amounts of [24-14C]cholic acid and [24-14C]chenodeoxycholic acid, each subject underwent a constant ...

Minihepcidins are rationally designed small peptides that mimic hepcidin activity in mice and may be useful for the treatment of iron overload [PDF]
Iron overload is the hallmark of hereditary hemochromatosis and a complication of iron-loading anemias such as β-thalassemia. Treatment can be burdensome and have significant side effects, and new therapeutic options are needed.
