Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how cow milk consumption (CMC) affects serum metabolites in Chinese peri-/postmenopausal women and whether gut microbiota mediates these effects.
  • A total of 346 participants were analyzed using statistical methods to identify specific metabolites linked to CMC, revealing 36 metabolites such as palmitic acid and citrulline.
  • Significant associations were found between certain metabolites and gut bacteria, highlighting the impact of CMC on health through metabolic changes and microbiota interactions.

β-Arrestins (βarrs) are functionally versatile proteins that play critical roles in the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathways. While it is well established that the phosphorylated receptor tail plays a central role in βarr activation, emerging evidence highlights the contribution from membrane lipids. However, detailed molecular mechanisms of βarr activation by different binding partners remain elusive.

Cow milk consumption (CMC) and alterations of gut bacterial composition are proposed to be closely related to human health and disease. Our research aims to investigate the changes in human gut microbial composition in Chinese peri-/postmenopausal women with different CMC habits. A total of 517 subjects were recruited and questionnaires about their CMC status were collected; 394 subjects were included in the final analyses.
