Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent endotoxin released at high concentrations in acute infections, causing massive host inflammatory response. Accumulating evidence indicates that dysbiosis-associated chronic low levels of circulating LPS can sustain a prolonged sterile low-grade inflammation that increases the risk of several non-communicable diseases. Interventions aimed at increasing the abundance of beneficial/probiotic bacteria, including , result in reduced inflammation, favoring metabolic and immune health.

Article Synopsis
  • Selective binding and optical sensing of Zn(II) and Cd(II) in water were studied using different receptors (L1, HL2, L3, HL4, HL5) to see how complex stability affects metal signaling.
  • The receptors all have a cyclic tetra-amine structure combined with either one or two quinoline or 8-hydroxyquinoline units, influencing their properties and interactions.
  • The study showed that Zn(II) forms more stable complexes with some receptors, while Cd(II) complexes benefit from better fitting in specific cavities, leading to unique optical behaviors for each metal in their respective complexes.
