Usability of volatile organic compounds from exhaled breath compared to those from ruminal fluid, serum, urine, and milk to identify diet-specific metabolite profiles in lactating dairy cows.

To investigate dietary influences on the volatilome, the volatile subcategory of the metabolome, we performed a comparative untargeted volatilome analysis of exhaled breath, ruminal fluid, serum, urine, and milk from lactating Holstein cows fed different diets. Thirty-two cows (79.4 ± 31.

Positive association of the thigh muscle thickness to intracellular-water ratio with handgrip strength, but not with the risk of mortality in hospitalized cancer patients: a longitudinal study.

This study explored the relationship between handgrip strength, muscle thickness, and the intracellular water ratio (MT/ICW) in cancer patients. It aimed to identify a cut-off point for the MT/ICW ratio that might influence survival. Conducted as an exploratory, longitudinal study in a public hospital, it included patients from 2018 to 2022, with follow-up until August 31, 2023.

Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels are positively correlated with phase angle in mixed cancer patients: an exploratory cross-sectional study.

The aim of this study is to verify the correlation between hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Ht) levels with phase angle (PhA) values in patients with cancer of the gastrointestinal tract and accessory digestive organs. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 82 patients (38 females/44 males) diagnosed with cancer of gastrointestinal tract and accessory organs of digestion. Hb (g/dL) and Ht (%) levels were assessed by the cyanomethemoglobin and microhematocrit methods, respectively.

Maternal consumption of yoghurt activating the aryl hydrocarbon receptor increases group 3 innate lymphoid cells in murine offspring.

Unlabelled: Indole derivatives are microbial metabolites of the tryptophan pathway involved in gut immune homeostasis. They bind to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), thereby modulating development of intestinal group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) and subsequent interleukin-22 production. In mice, indole derivatives of the maternal microbiota can reach the milk and drive early postnatal ILC3 development.
