The early-life organ development and maturation shape the fundamental blueprint for later-life phenotype. However, a multi-organ proteome atlas from infancy to adulthood is currently not available. Herein, we present a comprehensive proteomic analysis of ten mouse organs (brain, heart, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, stomach, intestine, muscle and skin) at three crucial developmental stages (1-, 4- and 8-weeks after birth) acquired using data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry.

Article Synopsis
  • Label-free proteomics helps identify disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets, but analyzing ultra-small clinical samples is challenging due to sample loss during pretreatment.
  • A new method called MOFs Aided Sample Preparation (MASP) combines several steps of protein analysis using boronic acid-rich metal-organic frameworks, significantly reducing sample size and minimizing losses.
  • MASP successfully quantified around 1800 proteins in a small number of cells and identified nearly 3700 proteins in cerebrospinal fluid from stroke patients, proving effective for analyzing precious clinical samples with low protein abundance.

Smoking is a global public health event that can cause oxidative stress and gut microbiota dysbiosis and is related to the occurrence of diseases such as cancer and respiratory system disease. We previously found that fermented black barley was rich in antioxidative components such as polyphenols and flavonoids and regulated gut microbiota dysbiosis. In the present study, the protective effects of fermented black barley on cigarette smoke-induced damage, such as lung, reproduction organ injury, gut microbiota and metabolic dysbiosis, were investigated.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common cause of chronic liver disease and threatens human health worldwide. As shown in our previous study, co-supplementation with phytosterol ester (PSE) (3.3 g day) and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (450 mg eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + 1500 mg docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) per day) was more effective at ameliorating hepatic steatosis than treatment with PSE or n-3 PUFAs alone.

Purpose: Oxidative damage and intestinal flora dysbiosis play important roles in the progression of chronic ulcerative colitis (UC). This study explored the effect and mechanism of molecular hydrogen in chronic UC.

Materials And Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice (19.

Article Synopsis
  • * Rats were divided into four diet groups and received treatments for 12 weeks, with the HB group showing significant improvements in weight, liver fat levels, and liver function compared to the high-fat diet alone.
  • * The fermented black barley also positively influenced gut microbiota by increasing beneficial bacteria diversity and abundance, suggesting it could be a safe dietary approach for preventing NAFLD.

A long-term high-fat (HF) diet can cause metabolic disorders, which might induce visceral obesity and ectopic triglyceride storage (e.g., hepatic steatosis), and increase hepatic oxidative stress.

To investigate the effect of fermented black barley on cooking oil fume (COF)-induced lung injury, male ICR mice were randomized into five groups: normal control (NC), fermented black barley treatment (NF), COF exposure (O), COF + fermented black barley treatment (OF) and COF + Lactobacillus treatment (OL). The exposure of mice to COF was performed for 5 min per day and 4 days per week for a total of 9 weeks, and the mice in the OF, NF and OL groups were administered fermented black barley or Lactobacillus continuously for 9 weeks (1 mL/100 g). Our results showed that the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), total phenolic, and flavonoid contents significantly increased after fermentation (P < 0.

Both serum and hepatic fatty acid (FA) compositions differ among nonalcoholic hepatic steatosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and healthy subjects. The severity of the above liver disease is closely associated with the concentration and composition of FAs. Our previous study found that phytosterol ester (PSE) could alleviate hepatic steatosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease rats.

Recent studies have shown that the occurrence and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can be aggravated by dysregulation of intestinal flora. We previously found that phytosterol esters (PSEs) could effectively prevent the progression of NAFLD. Here, we further investigated the regulatory effect that PSEs have on gut flora and faecal metabolites in rats with NAFLD.

Hydrogen gas (H), a multifunctional signaling molecule, has received increasing attention in recent years. In the present study, hydrogen-rich water (HRW) (2 ppm) was used for the processing of sprouted black barley (Hordeum distichum L.), and the results showed that the HRW treatment could significantly increase the germination rate and growth rate of black barley (P < 0.
