Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how a treatment called electroacupuncture (EA) can help rats with a diarrhea-related tummy problem known as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).
- The researchers tested this treatment by checking how many loose stools the rats had and how sensitive their tummies were when poked.
- The results showed that EA helped the rats by making their loose stools less frequent and reducing inflammation in their intestines, which means it might help protect their tummy lining.
Objectives: To observe the effects of moxibustion on colonic mast cell degranulation and inflammatory factor expression in rats with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D), and explore the potential mechanism of moxibustion in treating IBS-D.
Methods: Forty-five rat pups born from 5 healthy SPF-grade pregnant SD rats, with 8 rats were randomly selected as the normal group. The remaining 37 rats were intervened with maternal separation, acetic acid enema, and chronic restraint stress to establish the IBS-D model.
Article Synopsis
- Cognitive impairment is a key challenge in managing brain diseases, with lipids in cell membranes and diet playing a crucial role in cognition and memory.
- Recent research on the gut microbiome has opened new avenues to explore how dietary lipids influence cognition through the gut-brain axis, involving various metabolic and immune pathways.
- The review highlights the different effects of beneficial lipids (like omega-3s and phytosterols) versus harmful ones (like trans fats), aiming to provide insights for improving brain health through better dietary choices.
Article Synopsis
- * The review discusses MR's physiological responses, detailing its impact on chronic diseases and aging, as well as potential mechanisms involving substances like hydrogen sulfide and short-chain fatty acids.
- * Future research directions focus on the roles of epigenetics and gut microbiota in MR diets, providing insights into how MR may contribute to health improvements and aging prevention.
Freshwater acidification and phenanthrene may result in complex adverse effects on aquatic animals. Juvenile Chinese mitten crabs (Eriocheir sinensis) were exposed to different pH levels (7.8, 6.
