Omics Insights into Metabolic Stress and Resilience of Rats in Response to Short-term Fructose Overfeeding.

Scope: Considerable evidence supports the view that high-fructose intake is associated with increased and early incidence of obesity and dyslipidemia. However, knowledge on physiopathological alterations introduced by fructose overconsumption is lacking. Therefore, an integrated omics analysis is carried out to investigate the consequences of short-term fructose overfeeding (SFO) and identify the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Surgical trauma induces iron accumulation and oxidative stress in a rodent model of postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is recognized as a complication after surgery in the elderly. The exact pathogenic mechanisms of POCD are still unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of iron accumulation within the central nervous system in the development of cognitive dysfunction in rats following splenectomy.
