Enhancement of Fertilizer Efficiency Through Chinese Milk Vetch and Rice Straw Incorporation.

The incorporation of rice straw (RS) and Chinese milk vetch (CMV) with reduced chemical fertilizers (CFs) is a viable solution to reduce the dependency on CF. However, limited research has been conducted to investigate the impact of CMV and RS with reduced CF on rice production. A field trial was conducted from 2018 to 2021 with six treatments: CK (no fertilizer), F100 (100% NPK fertilizer (CF)), MSF100 (100% CF+CMV and RS incorporation), MSF80 (80% CF+CMV+RS), MSF60 (60% CF+CMV+RS), and MSF40 (40% CF+CMV+RS).

Relationship Between Depression and Epigallocatechin Gallate from the Perspective of Gut Microbiota: A Systematic Review.

Depression, a serious mental illness, is characterized by high risk, high incidence, persistence, and tendency to relapse, posing a significant burden on global health. The connection between depression and gut microbiota is an emerging field of study in psychiatry and neuroscience. Understanding the gut-brain axis is pivotal for understanding the pathogenesis and treatment of depression.

Fermented Cassava Residue Meal Improves Meat Quality by Regulating Muscle Fiber and Enhancing Lipid Metabolism in Huanjiang Mini-Pigs.

This research investigated the effects of cassava residue meal (CRM) and fermented CRM (FCRM) on the growth performance, serum lipid indicators, carcass traits, and meat quality of Huanjiang mini-pigs. One hundred twenty Huanjiang mini-pigs with similar BW (body weight, 8.85 ± 0.

Gut Microbiota as Emerging Players in the Development of Alcohol-Related Liver Disease.

The global incidence and mortality rates of alcohol-related liver disease are on the rise, reflecting a growing health concern worldwide. Alcohol-related liver disease develops due to a complex interplay of multiple reasons, including oxidative stress generated during the metabolism of ethanol, immune response activated by immunogenic substances, and subsequent inflammatory processes. Recent research highlights the gut microbiota's significant role in the progression of alcohol-related liver disease.

ZY15 Alleviates Intestinal Inflammation and Barrier Dysfunction via AKT/mTOR/HIF-1α/RORγt/IL-17 Signaling and the Gut Microbiota in ETEC K88-Challenged .

, a recognized probiotic, improves intestinal health in animals, but the mechanism remains unclear. This study investigates the mechanisms by which ZY15, isolated from healthy pig feces, mitigates intestinal barrier damage and inflammation caused by oxidative stress in Enterotoxigenic (ETEC) K88-challenged mice. The results indicated that ZY15 increased antioxidant capacity by reducing serum reactive oxygen species (ROS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels.
