Metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses reveal differences in fatty acids in tobacco leaves across cultivars and developmental stages

BMC Plant Biology
Background Tobacco is an important economic crop and a model plant for molecular biology research. It exists in various cultivars and is processed using different curing methods. Fatty acids play a crucial role in the quality and flavor of tobacco leaves.

The role of short-chain fatty acids in the interplay between diet, gut microbiota, and host energy metabolism

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), the end products of fermentation of dietary fibers by the anaerobic intestinal microbiota, have been shown to exert multiple beneficial effects on mammalian energy metabolism.

Nuts, bolts and short-chain fatty acids [PDF]

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2011
I recall precisely two lectures on nutrition in medical school. True, we heard physiology lectures on short-chain fatty acids, and our biochemistry professors encouraged us to remember the structures of the amino acids, but just how these things related to what a person should eat remained ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Associations of gut microbiota, dietary intake, and serum short-chain fatty acids with fecal short-chain fatty acids

Bioscience of Microbiota, Food and Health, 2020
In recent years, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have been reported to play an important role in maintaining human health. Fecal SCFA concentrations correlate well with colonic SCFA status and gut microbiota composition. However, the associations with the gut microbiota functional pathway, dietary intake, blood SCFAs, and fecal SCFAs remain uncertain ...

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Preeclampsia is associated with compromized maternal synthesis of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids leading to offspring deficiency [PDF]

, 2012
Obesity and excessive lipolysis are implicated in preeclampsia (PE). Intrauterine growth restriction is associated with low maternal body mass index and decreased lipolysis.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Obesity-induced asthma: Role of free fatty acid receptors

Japanese Dental Science Review, 2019
Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of asthma, and worsens the key features of asthma including airway hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, and airway remodeling.
