D-lactic acidosis is associated with fermentative disturbances and is often marked by elevated levels of D-lactic acid in the blood, ruminal fluid, and synovial fluid in cattle. D-lactic acidosis is linked to various inflammatory manifestations, and although the causative factors have been extensively explored, the exact pathogenesis of the associated inflammation remains elusive. Notably, less attention has been given to D-lactate, a stereoisomer found in the plasma of affected animals, which may lead to D-lactic acidosis.

In the pathogenesis of , the penetration and migration of parasitic stages through the liver provoke intense inflammatory immune responses and tissue damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxic effects of -induced ovine NETs in exposed hepatocytes in vitro, and to analyze whether antigens (Ag) trigger the release of ovine NETs under hypoxic conditions as well as the roles of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and CD11b in this cellular process in vitro.

White adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation is a key driver of disease pathogenesis in obesity. Whether and how obesity modifies lung and WAT immune cell character and function in obesity to amplify influenza disease severity remains unknown.

Additionally, vegetable oils rich in LA have been shown to notably mitigate ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced effects, including the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), cellular damage, and skin photoaging. These beneficial effects are primarily ascribed to the LA in these oils.
