This technique allows for a comprehensive understanding of microbial communities, providing insights into their composition and functional potential. This article outlines best practices for the bioinformatics analysis of 16S rRNA sequencing, emphasizing the critical stages of data preprocessing and quantification. ...
Beyond their roles in blood flow regulation and inflammation, SMECs contribute to metabolic functions within skeletal muscle. They participate in the uptake and delivery of glucose and fatty acids, influencing the metabolic state of the muscle. This function is particularly important in the context of metabolic ...
To accomplish this, the researchers administered NNK and BaP to A/J mice and employed 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabolomics to characterize the changes in gut microbiota and fecal metabolism profiles, respectively. The results, supported by light microscopy and histopathology evaluations, revealed that the exposure to the mixture of NNK and BaP triggered the occurrence of ...
Focal Molography, a Guide Inside Cellular Pathways There are billions of cells in our bodies, each with their own characteristics and functions. To function together, cells need to communicate; during the evolution of multi-cellular organisms, cells have developed communication systems of exceptional complexity. These systems govern every level of ...
Predictive metagenomics profiling OTU abundance table can be further used to presume for metabolic functions. It is a process to understand the role of the microbiome on host metabolism and disease. ...
The primary effect of LLLT is a local time response to direct irradiation and includes vasodilatation with increased circulatory flow; increased macrophages and fibroblast activity and improved metabolic function of depressed or damaged cells. Delayed response consists of a systemic effect caused by circulating photoproducts of irradiation in the blood and ...
Among them, adipocyte hyperplasia can effectively avoid pathological adipose tissue remodeling, thus maintaining the normal metabolic function of adipose tissue and facilitating the body to maintain metabolic balance. It is important to control adipocyte formation to help improve metabolic health and delay aging. Some tissues, ...
To prove whether the gene is associated with the pathogenesis of MODY hereditary diabetes, the team constructed Otud3 knockout mice and showed that Otud3 knockout mice developed early features of diabetes such as metabolic disorders and diet-induced obesity to form insulin resistance, indicating that loss of deubiquitinase function of OTUD3 causes obesity and ...
This phenotype is mainly due to the upregulation of lipogenesis-related genes at multiple levels of transcriptional, translational and post-translational modifications, and enzymatic activity, as well as the impact on oncogene expression due to changes in these genes or lipid metabolism. The functions of fatty acids in cancer cells include the following: 1. ...
Compared with other previously unknown organs, the microbiota has extensive metabolic functions and carries 1,000 times more genes than the human genome. ...
In the long course of human evolution, gut microbiota has also evolved and provided important metabolic pathways for the body, such as those involved in the metabolism of indigestible dietary components and exogenous substances, as well as the production of vitamins and essential amino acids. ...
More than just components of cell membranes and energy storage substances, lipids can perform a variety of important biological functions in life activities. The structural diversity of lipids endows them with a variety of important biological functions: (1) they constitute an important component of the cell membrane. ...
When the temperature is too low, it will affect the growth and development of most tropical or subtropical aquatic plants. For example, the metabolic function of the plant reduced, and the growth is stagnated. Sometimes necrosis, rotten roots and other symptoms will also occur in the whole plant or part of it. ...
Previous study has shown that the relative abundance of Akkermansia is significantly reduced in IBD patients.38 Akkermansia increases anti-inflammatory activity by inducing Treg cells in adipose tissue, leading to attenuation of high-fat-diet-induced metabolic syndrome.39 In addition, Akkermansia stimulates IL-10 production, playing an immunological role in homeostasis and taking ...
This wonder ingredient can help support two of the most important health concerns in the world, liver health and metabolic function" says Hagai Stadler, CEO of Algatech. Liver health is one of the most serious modern health issues todayfll. ...

Scientists have found that endocannabinoids and cannabinoid receptors are involved in a wide array of bodily functions, including helping to control brain, nerve memory, pain, energy metabolism, heart function, the immune system and even reproduction. Because of their involvement in so many systems, they’re function is also ...
Most of them are commensal, protecting us against pathogenic microorganisms and helping us carry out key metabolic functions. “They dictate our nutritional intake but also our immunological set points and whether or not we’re able to handle inflammation,” said Gregg Silverman, an immunologist from New York University.Gut microbes can make ...
We examined the impact of an ultra‐low volume (ULV) formulation of the organophosphorus insecticide, fenitrothion (O,O‐dimethyl‐O‐(3‐methyl‐4‐nitrophenol)‐phosphorothioate), on a suite of physiological measures that affect the ability of animals to survive in free‐living conditions; namely, locomotory and thermogenic functions, metabolic performance, body mass, ...
A major source of these compounds is incomplete metabolism in humans and subsequent excretion in human waste, resulting in discharge into surface waters by wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent. ...
Understanding the functional response of bacteria to their natural environment is one of the current challenges in microbiology. ...
