Article Synopsis
- Aerobic fitness and exercise positively influence bile acid (BA) metabolism and help manage diet-induced fatty liver disease (hepatic steatosis).
- Research showed that rats with high aerobic capacity produced more cholesterol and specific BAs when on a high-fat diet compared to those with low capacity.
- In mice with a gene deletion affecting BA synthesis, exercise did not reduce liver fat, indicating that increased BA metabolism from exercise is crucial for combating fatty liver conditions.
As a symptom of accelerated sea level rise and historic impacts to tidal hydrology from agricultural and mosquito control activities, coastal marshes in the Northeastern U.S. are experiencing conversion to open water through edge loss, widening and headward erosion of tidal channels, and the formation and expansion of interior ponds.
