Metabolic pattern across energy imbalance: An exploratory metabolomics study of female body weight extremes including anorexia nervosa and athletes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract In anorexia nervosa (AN), prolonged metabolic adaptation to severe energy deficiency can impair treatment efficacy. Similarly, low energy availability poses a recognized risk to athletes, potentially compromising health and performance. This cross‐sectional study aimed to characterize the plasma metabolic pattern of females with varying ...

Mediators of the Association Between Stroke and Blood Cells: A Two‐Step Multivariable Mendelian Randomization Study

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study investigated the association and causality between complete blood count (CBC) parameters and stroke in 6736 participants from the 2011–2016 NHANES. Key CBC indices were identified as independent stroke predictors, with some showing significant nonlinear correlations with stroke events.

Low Cotinine Glucuronidation Results in Higher Serum and Saliva Cotinine in African American Compared to White Smokers

, 2017
Background: Tobacco exposure is often quantified by serum or saliva concentrations of the primary nicotine metabolite, cotinine. However, average cotinine concentrations are higher in African Americans (AA) compared with Whites with similar smoking ...

When Fat Goes Astray: Your Liver and Pancreas Get Into Trouble

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 269-282, September 2026.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) are both common manifestations of ectopic fat accumulation. Although they share multiple risk factors, they also show notable differences in pathological features, standardization of diagnosis, and research maturity.
