Edible fungi polysaccharides modulate gut microbiota and lipid metabolism: A review.
Int J Biol Macromol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- * EFPs help maintain a healthy balance in gut microbiota by boosting beneficial bacteria and reducing harmful bacteria, which is crucial for effective lipid processing.
- * EFPs promote the production of bile acids and short-chain fatty acids while decreasing harmful lipopolysaccharides, highlighting their potential for improving public health through better understanding of EFPs, GM, and lipid metabolism connections.
Aims: The cause-specific mortality implications of social determinants of health (SDOH) in cancer survivors were unclear. This study aimed to explore associations between SDOH and cardiovascular and cancer mortality in cancer survivors.
Methods And Results: Data from 2013 to 2017 National Health Interview Survey were used for this prospective cohort study.
Fish allergy is a significant health concern, with diagnosis and management complicated by diverse fish species and allergens. We conducted a comprehensive RNA-seq analysis of eight fish species to identify allergen profiles, integrating ImmunoCAP sIgE data to explore associations with allergen expression and diagnostic performance. Over 30 putative fish allergens were identified, with varying sequence similarities and expression levels, roughly classifying fish into two groups based on parvalbumin (PV) expression.

- * Analysis showed that TFP (2238 kDa) and TFLP (3 kDa) are acidic polysaccharides, mainly made up of mannopyranose, exhibiting strong in vivo antioxidant effects and enhanced immune responses in both C. elegans and mice models.
- * TFLP demonstrated superior immune enhancement and antioxidant activity over TFP, contributing to the growth of beneficial gut bacteria in immunosuppressed mice and significantly increasing short-chain fatty acids levels.
Exosomes are small vesicles that form when multivesicular bodies fuse with the plasma membrane and are released into body fluids. They play a vital role in facilitating communication between cells by transferring different biomolecules, including DNA, RNA, proteins, and lipids, over both short and long distances. They also function as vital mediators in both states of health and disease, exerting an impact on several physiological processes.
