Integrated analysis of rumen metabolomics and metataxonomics to understand changes in metabolic and microbial community in Korean native goats under heat stress.

Heat stress (HS) is an impactful condition in ruminants that negatively affects their physiological and rumen microbial composition. However, a fundamental understanding of metabolomic and metataxonomic mechanisms in goats under HS conditions is lacking. Here, we analyzed the rumen metabolomics, metataxonomics, and serum metabolomics of goats (n = 10, body weight: 41.

Pharmacological inactivation of a non-canonical gp130 signaling arm attenuates chronic systemic inflammation and multimorbidity induced by a high-fat diet.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a major pro-inflammatory cytokine that demonstrates a robust correlation with age and body mass index (BMI) as part of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype. IL-6 cytokines also play a crucial role in metabolic homeostasis and regenerative processes primarily via the canonical STAT3 pathway. Thus, selective modulation of IL-6 signaling may offer a unique opportunity for therapeutic interventions.

Metabolic Engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum for High-Level Production of 1,5-Pentanediol, a C5 Diol Platform Chemical.

The biobased production of chemicals is essential for advancing a sustainable chemical industry. 1,5-Pentanediol (1,5-PDO), a five-carbon diol with considerable industrial relevance, has shown limited microbial production efficiency until now. This study presents the development and optimization of a microbial system to produce 1,5-PDO from glucose in Corynebacterium glutamicum via the l-lysine-derived pathway.

Prediction of Phenoconversion into Alpha-Synucleinopathy in Patients with isolated REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Using Event-Related Potentials During Visuospatial Attention Tasks.

Study Objectives: Isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is recognized as a prodromal stage of alpha-synucleinopathies. Predicting phenoconversion in iRBD patients remains a key challenge. We aimed to investigate whether event-related potentials (ERPs) recorded during visuospatial attention task can serve as predictors of phenoconversion in iRBD patients.

Effects of fluconazole on the pharmacokinetics of celecoxib and its carboxylic acid metabolite in different CYP2C9 genotypes.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of fluconazole, a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4, on the pharmacokinetics of celecoxib and its carboxylic acid metabolite in different CYP2C9 genotypes. A total of thirty-nine healthy Korean male volunteers were divided into three different CYP2C9 genotype groups (CYP2C9*1/*1, *1/*3 and *3/*3 genotypes) and were enrolled in the celecoxib alone trial, celecoxib with fluconazole trial, or both. In the celecoxib alone trial, participants received a single oral dose of 200 mg celecoxib.
