Circulating Profiles of the Bile Acid Metabolomics in Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Treated With Metformin or Canagliflozin

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Bile acids are indispensable modulators in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Our previous study identified that metformin and canagliflozin have similar efficacy in patients with PCOS combined with insulin resistance (IR).

Prevention and treatment of parasitic infections in organic pigs [PDF]

, 2007
Organic and free range pigs are potentially exposed to a wider range of parasites and zoonotic challenges. The livestock Subproject QLIF addresses 4 strategies to combat these challenges, and the present paper describes the initial results.

Integrating indigenous crops in agroforestry systems: Lesser yam and teak mixed systems are more profitable than monocultures in Indonesia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Major staple crops are often introduced and cultivated in monocultures. Yams are stable crops native to the majority of low‐ and middle‐income countries and can provide an alternative to introduced staple crops. We showed that lesser yams cultivated together with teak trees (planted at the border of the farm) are more profitable than lesser yam ...

Stabilized Extracellular Vesicle Formulations for Inhalable Dry Powder Development

Small, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold promise for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment but face challenges with storage and delivery. This study demonstrates the stabilization of lung fibroblast‐derived EVs using inulin, enabling freeze‐drying and spray‐drying.

Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Vasoreactivity as a Measure of Kidney Viability During Ex Vivo Normothermic Machine Perfusion

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate the influence of warm ischemic injury on renal vascular responsiveness to vasoactive drugs during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP). We found that the vascular responses to dopamine and norepinephrine could be used as objective indicators to assess kidney viability during NMP.

Precision nutrition in weight loss and neuroendocrine control of people with obesity: The study protocol of a factorial randomised controlled trial (GenON Programme)

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Precision nutrition, guided by genetic testing, has emerged as a promising approach for managing obesity. However, robust clinical trials testing its effectiveness in real‐world dietary interventions remain scarce. The GenOn Programme aims to evaluate whether tailoring nutritional care based on genetic risk for obesity enhances weight ...
