The Cholesterol-Lowering Effect of Oats and Oat Beta Glucan: Modes of Action and Potential Role of Bile Acids and the Microbiome

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2019
Consumption of sufficient quantities of oat products has been shown to reduce host cholesterol and thereby modulate cardiovascular disease risk. The effects are proposed to be mediated by the gel-forming properties of oat β-glucan which modulates host ...

Short-Chain Fatty Acids Promote Intracellular Bactericidal Activity in Head Kidney Macrophages From Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) via Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are mainly produced by microbiota through the fermentation of carbohydrates in the intestine. Acetate, propionate, and butyrate are the most abundant SCFA metabolites and have been shown to be important in the maintenance ...

Stepwise Engineering of Van der Waals Heterostructures for High Current Density in Light Emitting Devices

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A novel strategy for achieving high current density in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure‐based light‐emitting devices (LEDs) is proposed. Based on this concept, an LED utilizing a WS2/WSe2 heterostructure was fabricated, achieving a current density of 9.4 × 104 A/cm2.
