A combined pig model to determine the net absorption of volatile fatty acids in the large intestine under different levels of crude fiber. [PDF]
This research introduced the combined model of pigs with cannulation of blood vessel and terminal ileum fistula, and the deposition of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in large intestine was determined accurately by isotope tracer method to calculate net absorption of VFA.

Age-dependent changes in the gut microbiota and serum metabolome correlate with renal function and human aging. [PDF]
A comprehensive analysis of the gut metagenome and serum metabolome of individuals from a Chinese longevity cohort. We discovered distinct age‐dependent differences in both microbiota and serum metabolome. Through mediation analyses and fecal microbiota transplantation, we uncovered a potential causal relationship between the microbiota and metabolite ...

The role of adipose and muscle tissue breakdown on interorgan energy substrate fluxes in a Pseudomonas aeruginosa induced sepsis model in female pigs. [PDF]
Abstract Sepsis leads to an acute breakdown of muscle to support increased caloric and amino acid requirements. Little is known about the role of adipose and muscle tissue breakdown and intestinal metabolism in glucose substrate supply during the acute phase of sepsis.

Blood L-cystine levels positively related to increased risk of hypertension. [PDF]
Abstract Hypertension is one component of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Here, the study evaluated hypertension‐associated metabolites in relation to other MetS components. Fasting plasma samples were collected from 22 hypertensive and 63 normotensive subjects for non‐targeted metabolomics.

Effects of patent foramen ovale in migraine: a metabolomics-based study. [PDF]
Abstract figure legend Aura, cystatin‐C and calcium are biomarkers of PFO in migraine. PFO closure relieves migraine by regulating 5‐HT metabolism and redox reactions, especially in the posterior head. cTTE, contrast‐transthoracic echocardiography; DESI‐MSI, desorption electrospray ionization mass imaging; H&E, haematoxylin and eosin; PFO, patent ...

Novel odd-chain cyclopropane fatty acids: detection in a mammalian lipidome and uptake by hepatosplanchnic tissues. [PDF]
Microbe-produced molecules (xenometabolites) found in foods or produced by gut microbiota are increasingly implicated in microbe-microbe and microbe-host communication.

Maternal dexamethasone treatment caused glomerular hypertrophy and a decline in renal function and effective renal plasma flow in 4‐month‐old male offspring with no changes detected in females of the same age. The expression of sodium‐glucose transporter‐2 in renal membrane fractions was not affected by dexamethasone treatment suggesting that it does ...

The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2023/24: Transporters
The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2023/24 is the sixth in this series of biennial publications. The Concise Guide provides concise overviews, mostly in tabular format, of the key properties of approximately 1800 drug targets, and over 6000 interactions with about 3900 ligands. There is an emphasis on selective pharmacology (where available), plus links

System Identification of the Low-Dose Kinetics of p-Aminohippuric Acid [PDF]
The renal clearance of p-aminohippuric acid, due to tubular secretion in addition to glomerular filtration, can only be determined by kinetic experiments. Maximal information can be gained from observed temporal marker concentration profiles by fitting dynamic mathematical models of the processes involved, such as absorption, distribution, and ...
