Ketogenesis is a dynamic metabolic conduit supporting hepatic fat oxidation particularly when carbohydrates are in short supply. Ketone bodies may be recycled into anabolic substrates, but a physiological role for this process has not been identified. Here, we use mass spectrometry-based C-isotope tracing and shotgun lipidomics to establish a link between hepatic ketogenesis and lipid anabolism.

Mercury is a pervasive global pollutant, with primary anthropogenic sources including mining, industrial processes, and mercury-containing products such as dental amalgams. These sources release mercury into the environment, where it accumulates in ecosystems and enters the food chain, notably through bioamplification in marine life, posing a risk to human health. Dental amalgams, widely used for over a century, serve as a significant endogenous source of inorganic mercury.

The vagus nerve is proposed to enable communication between the gut microbiome and the brain, but activity-based evidence is lacking. We find that mice reared germ-free exhibit decreased vagal tone relative to colonized controls, which is reversed via microbiota restoration. Perfusing antibiotics into the small intestines of conventional mice, but not germ-free mice, acutely decreases vagal activity which is restored upon re-perfusion with intestinal filtrates from conventional, but not germ-free, mice.

Article Synopsis
  • Hypomanic personality traits (HPT) are linked to higher risk for psychiatric disorders like bipolar disorder and are associated with aggressive behaviors, yet the underlying neuropsychological mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • The study used psychometric network analysis to identify key factors (Behavioral Inhibition System and mood volatility) that connect HPT to aggression, finding that mood volatility positively correlates with aggression, with BIS acting as a mediator.
  • Further imaging studies revealed distinct functions of the dorsal and ventral sensorimotor cortices in processing rewards, and resting-state imaging confirmed these regions' connections to different brain networks, highlighting the importance of these circuits in mediating the relationship between mood volatility, aggression, and BIS.
