Liver X receptor-mediated activation of reverse cholesterol transport from macrophages to feces in vivo requires ABCG5/G8

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Liver X receptor (LXR) agonists increase both total fecal sterol excretion and macrophage-specific reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in vivo. In this study, we assessed the effects of ABCG5/G8 deficiency as well as those of LXR agonist-induction of RCT

Faecal leukocyte esterase activity is an alternative biomarker in inflammatory bowel disease [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Leukocyte cytosolic proteins (e.g., calprotectin) are emerging biomarkers for inflammatory bowel disease. Leukocyte aryl esterase activity has been commonly used for sensitive detection of leukocytes in human body fluids such as urine.

Icariin Enhances the Enzymatic Activity of N‐acetylgalactosaminidase to Augment Akkermansia Abundance in Gut Microbiota for Improved PD‐1 Blockade Efficacy in Tumor Suppression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Icariin promoted the growth of Akk by enhancing the activity of N‐acetylgalactosaminidase (Amuc_0920), which enhanced mucin utilization and provided a favorable nutrient environment for bacterial growth. This icariin‐mediated enrichment of Akk further reshaped the tumor microenvironment and promoted CD8+ T cell infiltration, ultimately synergizing with

Distiller’s dried grains with solubles (Zea mays L.) in feeding sheep on nitrogen balance

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2017
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of diets supplemented with 0.0, 8.0, 16.0, and 24.0% distiller’s dried grain solubles (DDGS) on nitrogen (N) intake, fecal and urinary N excretion, and N absorption and retention (N balance, NB) by ...

Human metabolism and elimination of the anthocyanin, cyanidin-3-glucoside: a 13C-tracer study [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that the consumption of anthocyanin-rich foods beneficially affects cardiovascular health; however, the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) of anthocyanin-rich foods are relatively unknown. OBJECTIVE:

A Microbial Lipid‐ATP Synthase Axis Fuels NK Cell Antitumor Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study focuses on the mechanism by which gut microbiota‐derived outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) regulate NK cell antitumor activity. B. intestinalis is identified to decrease extra‐intestinal tumor growth via its OMVs enriched in sphingosine (SP).

Seasonal Variations of Strongyle Egg Excretion in Horses in a Subhumid Area of Algeria

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2008
The seasonal evolution of strongyle egg excretion was studied in untreated horses, grazing on pastures in the coastal area of El Tarf, using the fecal egg count method and larval cultures. Strongyle egg excretion occurred mainly in the summer and reached

Impact of inactivated poliovirus vaccine on mucosal immunity: implications for the polio eradication endgame. [PDF]

, 2015
The polio eradication endgame aims to bring transmission of all polioviruses to a halt. To achieve this aim, it is essential to block viral replication in individuals via induction of a robust mucosal immune response. Although it has long been recognized

Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

The combination of ezetimibe and ursodiol promotes fecal sterol excretion and reveals a G5G8-independent pathway for cholesterol elimination[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
Previous studies suggest an interdependent relationship between liver and intestine for cholesterol elimination from the body. We hypothesized that a combination of ursodiol (Urso) and ezetimibe (EZ) could increase biliary secretion and reduce ...
