Vitamin D Signaling through Induction of Paneth Cell Defensins Maintains Gut Microbiota and Improves Metabolic Disorders and Hepatic Steatosis in Animal Models. [PDF]

, 2016
Metabolic syndrome (MetS), characterized as obesity, insulin resistance, and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD), is associated with vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency in epidemiological studies, while the underlying mechanism is poorly addressed.

The Role of miRNAs in Chicken Immune Regulation and Prospects for Disease‐Resistant Breeding

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A schematic workflow illustrating the screening of disease‐resistant miRNAs and the generation of miRNA‐based disease‐resistant chickens via PGC‐mediated germline genome editing. ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as pivotal regulators of the immune system, playing a decisive role in shaping disease resistance in chicken.

Differential protection against oxidative stress and nitric oxide overproduction in cardiovascular and pulmonary systems by propofol during endotoxemia

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2009
Background Both overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) and oxidative injury of cardiovascular and pulmonary systems contribute to fatal cardiovascular depression during endotoxemia. We investigated in the present study the relative contribution of oxidative

Ellagic Acid Prevents Binge Alcohol-Induced Leaky Gut and Liver Injury through Inhibiting Gut Dysbiosis and Oxidative Stress

Antioxidants, 2021
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major liver disease worldwide and can range from simple steatosis or inflammation to fibrosis/cirrhosis, possibly through leaky gut and systemic endotoxemia. Many patients with alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) die within

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Determination of Flunixin Meglumine in Veterinary Pharmaceutical Formulations by Capillary Electrophoresis With Capacitively Coupled Contactless Conductivity Detection

ELECTROPHORESIS, EarlyView.
A CE‐C4D method was developed for the indirect determination of flunixin meglumine (FM) by quantifying meglumine and using lithium ions as an internal standard. The method allows the use of a low‐cost standard reagent, providing suitable analytical performance for the determination of FM in veterinary pharmaceutical formulations.

Matrix metalloproteinase 13 modulates intestinal epithelial barrier integrity in inflammatory diseases by activating TNF [PDF]

, 2013
Several pathological processes, such as sepsis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are associated with impairment of intestinal epithelial barrier. Here, we investigated the role of matrix metalloproteinase MMP13 in these diseases.

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

Bivalent Inhibitor with Selectivity for Trimeric MMP-9 Amplifies Neutrophil Chemotaxis and Enables Functional Studies on MMP-9 Proteoforms

Cells, 2020
A fundamental part of the immune response to infection or injury is leukocyte migration. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a class of secreted or cell-bound endopeptidases, implicated in every step of the process of inflammatory cell migration. Hence,

An adaptive, negative feedback circuit in a biohybrid device reprograms dynamic networks of systemic inflammation in vivo

Frontiers in Systems Biology, 2023
Introduction: Systemic acute inflammation accompanies and underlies the pathobiology of sepsis but is also central to tissue healing. We demonstrated previously the in vivo feasibility of modulating the key inflammatory mediator tumor necrosis factor ...
