Bisphenol A and Its Analogs: Toxicity Analysis in Mouse and Rat Liver—A Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogs are widely recognized for their use in industry and plastic manufacturing. Consequently, humans and animals are continually exposed to various substances in their daily lives. This review evaluates the hepatic toxicity of BPA and its analogs in mice and rats, with particular emphasis on molecular mechanisms ...

Bisphenol M Induces Dose‐Dependent Hepatic Injury and Fibrotic Remodeling in Female Mice

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The safety of bisphenol analogs as alternatives to bisphenol A (BPA) is increasingly concerning. This study investigated the hepatotoxic effects of bisphenol M (BPM), a widely used BPA substitute, in 6‐week‐old female BALB/c mice exposed to 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally for 14 days. Hepatic changes were assessed via histopathology,

Nutritional and environmental determinants of maturation and disruption of the early life gut microbiome: A narrative review

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract The first 1000 days of life represent a critical window for gut microbiome assembly, with lifelong implications for child growth, immune development, and disease risk. This review synthesizes evidence on maternal, perinatal, and especially nutritional factors that influence early‐life intestinal colonization and highlights the consequences of ...

BamA self-insertion drives inner-to-outer membrane remodelling in diderm Firmicutes

Nature Communications
Exclusive  to Firmicutes, endospore formation is a complex process that results in the release of a mature spore after the mother cell lyses. The spore is protected by multiple layers, including inner and outer spore membranes (IsM and OsM), both ...

Gut microbiome in pediatric acute pancreatitis and Crohn's disease versus irritable bowel syndrome and healthy controls

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Pediatric acute pancreatitis (AP), Crohn's disease (CD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are associated with gut dysbiosis, but differences and similarities between conditions are unknown. We hypothesized that gut microbial ecology would differ across these disorders. Methods Stool was collected from 120 subjects (AP [n = 30], CD

Use of natural ensiling additives with tropical grasses: Physicochemical properties, in vitro fermentation characteristics, and microbial community diversity indices

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Improving feed quality, availability, and cost‐effectiveness is a big challenge for livestock to ensure animal‐derived food for nutritional security. The aim of the study was to find out how some natural ensiling additives affect physicochemical properties, proximate composition, microbial population, in vitro fermentation ...
