Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM)-Induced Metabolic Disruption in Mice Is Mitigated by Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin (SCC).

Background/objectives: The increasing prevalence of metabolic disorders underscores the need for effective interventions to mitigate environmental stressors such as diesel particulate matter (DPM), a major urban air pollutant. DPM is composed of fine carbonaceous particles that can induce systemic inflammation. This phenomenon results in metabolic dysfunction such as adipocyte hypertrophy, insulin resistance, and mitochondrial impairment in body tissues.

The Incretin Effect of Yerba Maté () Is Partially Dependent on Gut-Mediated Metabolism of Ferulic Acid.

Background/objectives: Yerba maté (YM), a traditional herbal beverage made from , contains bioactive compounds like polyphenols and alkaloids known for their metabolic benefits. This study investigates YM's incretin effects, focusing on glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP). : Male and female C57BL/6 mice were supplemented with YM for four weeks.
