The gut microbiome plays a critical role in maintaining gut and metabolic health, and its composition is often altered by aging and obesity. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of curcumin on gut dysbiosis, gut barrier integrity, and bile acid homeostasis in aged mice fed a high-fat, high-sugar diet (HFHSD). Eighteen- to twenty-one-month-old male C57BL/6 mice were divided into groups fed a normal chow diet or HFHSD, with or without curcumin supplementation (0.

Methods: Prospectively collected data from a large series of LCBDE.

Background: NXT629, a PPAR-alpha antagonist, exerts widespread effects in many diseases; however, its function and relevant mechanism in cholesterol gallstones (CG) remain largely unknown.
Methods: Male C57BL/6 J mice were fed a regular diet or lithogenic diet (LD), followed by treatment with intraperitoneal injection of NXT629. H&E staining was performed to analyze hepatic pathological changes, and Oil red O staining was conducted to detect lipid accumulation.

Background: Bariatric surgery is highly effective in achieving weight loss in children and adolescents with severe obesity, however the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood, and gut microbiome changes are unknown.
Objectives: 1) To comprehensively examine gut microbiome and metabolome changes after laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) in adolescents and 2) to assess whether the microbiome/metabolome changes observed with VSG influence phenotype using germ-free murine models.
Design: 1) A longitudinal observational study in adolescents undergoing VSG with serial stool samples undergoing shotgun metagenomic microbiome sequencing and metabolomics (polar metabolites, bile acids and short chain fatty acids) and 2) a human-to-mouse fecal transplant study.
