Healthy eating patterns associated with reduced risk of inflammatory bowel disease by lowering low-grade inflammation: evidence from a large prospective cohort study.

Background: Limited epidemiological evidence exists regarding the role of healthy eating patterns in reducing the risk of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). This study aimed to investigate the association between adherence to four established healthy eating patterns and subsequent CD or UC risk, and further examined whether these associations are linked to anti-inflammatory mechanisms.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 197,391 participants from the UK Biobank who completed at least one dietary questionnaire and were free from inflammatory bowel disease or cancer at baseline.

Genome-Wide Identification of 5-HT Receptor Gene Family in Razor Clam and Their Circadian Rhythm Expression Analysis.

Serotonin (5-HT) is primarily distributed in the gastrointestinal and central nervous systems, where it plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological functions such as digestion, reproduction and establishing animal emotions. 5-HT is an effective oxytocin widely used in molluscan aquaculture, and its physiological functions are performed by binding to corresponding 5-HT receptors (5-HTRs). In this study, seven genes of () were identified and analyzed, and they were designated as , , , , , and .

Expression and Functional Analysis of Gene Responding to High Ammonia Stress in Razor Clam ().

Ammonium transporter 1 (AMT1), a member of ammonia (NH/NH) transport proteins, has been found to have ammonia transport activity in plants and microorganisms. However, the functional characteristics and molecular mechanisms of AMT1 in mollusks remain unclear. The razor clam () is a suitable model species to explore the molecular mechanism of ammonia excretion because of the high concentration of ambient ammonia it is exposed to in the clam-fish-shrimp polyculture system.

Genome-wide characterization of the cytosolic sulfotransferase 1B member 1 (SULT1B1) family and its expression responses to sulfide stress in the razor clam Sinonovacula constricta.

The razor clam (Sinonovacula constricta), a typical burrowing organism in the intertidal zones, is often exposed to sulfide environment and shows strong sulfide tolerance. Located downstream of the sulfur metabolism pathway, cytosolic sulfotransferase family 1B member 1 (SULT1B1) is a key enzyme catalysing the sulfonation reaction, and plays an important role in the biotransformation of endogenous substances such as thyroid hormones (THs). To investigate their roles in sulfide resistance, a systematic analysis of S.

A high-density genetic linkage map for Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi) using 2.3K genotyping-by-sequencing SNPs.

Chinese perch, Siniperca chuatsi (Basilewsky), is one of the most commercially important cultured fishes in China. In the present study, a high-density genetic linkage map of Chinese perch was constructed by genotyping-by-sequencing technique with an F1 mapping panel containing 190 progenies. A total of 2328 SNPs were assigned to 24 linkage groups (LGs), agreeing with the chromosome haploid number in this species (n = 24).

Genomic Insights into the Origin and Evolution of Molluscan Red-Bloodedness in the Blood Clam Tegillarca granosa.

Blood clams differ from their molluscan kins by exhibiting a unique red-blood (RB) phenotype; however, the genetic basis and biochemical machinery subserving this evolutionary innovation remain unclear. As a fundamental step toward resolving this mystery, we presented the first chromosome-level genome and comprehensive transcriptomes of the blood clam Tegillarca granosa for an integrated genomic, evolutionary, and functional analyses of clam RB phenotype. We identified blood clam-specific and expanded gene families, as well as gene pathways that are of RB relevant.

Mandarin fish (Sinipercidae) genomes provide insights into innate predatory feeding.

Mandarin fishes (Sinipercidae) are piscivores that feed solely on live fry. Unlike higher vertebrates, teleosts exhibit feeding behavior driven mainly by genetic responses, with no modification by learning from parents. Mandarin fishes could serve as excellent model organisms for studying feeding behavior.

Effect of agmatine on food intake in mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi).

Agmatine, an endogenous biogenic amine, is considered to be a central neurotransmitter. And it plays an important role in mammal feeding behavior. However, there were few studies on the effect of agmatine on feeding behavior in fishes.

Curcumin ameliorates dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis in mice via regulation of autophagy and intestinal immunity.

Background/aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is regarded as a kind of chronic and unspecific intestinal inflammatory disorder. Its exact pathogenesis has not been elucidated. Curcumin, as an herbal drug, has been used in the treatment of IBD due to its immunoregulation.

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of Olfactory Receptor Genes in Chinese Perch, .

Olfaction, which is mediated by olfactory receptor (OR) genes, is essential in the daily life of fish, especially in foraging. However, Chinese perch () is believed to prey with reliance on vision and lateral sensation, but not on olfaction. Therefore, understanding the evolutionary dynamics of the Chinese perch OR repertoire could provide insights into genetic evidence for adapting to a decreasing reliance on olfaction.

Effects of fasting, temperature, and photoperiod on preproghrelin mRNA expression in Chinese perch.

Preproghrelin, a gut/brain peptide, plays an important role in the regulation of food intake and energy homeostasis in teleost and mammals. In the present study, we obtained the full-length preproghrelin cDNA in Chinese perch. The preproghrelin messenger RNA (mRNA) tissue expression showed that level was much higher in stomach and pituitary than in other tissues.
