We conducted a metabolomics study to reveal changes caused by AN and the effect of hospital realimentation on metabolism. Both stool and serum from patients with AN and healthy controls were analyzed by NMR and MS.

Diet is a strong modifier of microbiome and mucosal microenvironment in the gut. Recently, components of western-type diets have been associated with metabolic and immune diseases. Here, we studied how high-sugar diet (HSD) consumption influences gut mucosal barrier and immune response under steady state conditions and in a mouse model of acute colitis.

Coronary artery disease is one of the most frequent causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is even more prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who suffer from obesity and increased accumulation of epicardial fat with a possible contributing role in the development of coronary artery disease. We performed an MS-based lipidomic analysis of subcutaneous and epicardial adipose tissue in 23 patients with coronary artery disease stratified for the presence/absence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and a control group of 13 subjects aiming at identification of factors from epicardial fat contributing to the development of coronary artery disease.
