Recent findings indicate that human microbiota can excrete trace amines, dopamine, and serotonin. These neurotransmitters (NTs) can either affect classical neurotransmitter signaling or directly trigger trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs), with still unclear consequences for host physiology. Compared to gut microbiota, less information is available on the role of skin microbiota in NT production.

Liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 analog used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, is a potential new treatment modality for bile acid (BA) diarrhea. Here, we show that administration of liraglutide significantly decreased total BAs, especially the primary BAs, including cholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, taurocholic acid, taurochenodeoxycholic acid, glycocholic acid, and β-muricholic acid, in the liver and feces. In addition, liraglutide significantly decreased tryptophan metabolites, including L-tryptophan, serotonin, 5-hydroxy indole-3-acetic acid, L-kynurenine, and xanthurenic acid, in the colon, whereas it significantly increased indole-3-propionic acid.

The combined chemotoxicity and radiotoxicity associated with uranium, utilized in nuclear industry and military applications, poses significant threats to human health. Among uranium pollutants, uranyl is particularly concerning due to its high absorptivity and potent nephrotoxicity in its + 6 valence state. Here, we have serendipitously found NaSeO facilitates the conversion of U(VI) to U(IV) precipitates.

The placenta, as a "transit station" between mother and fetus, has functions delivering nutrients, excreting metabolic wastes and secreting hormones. A healthy placenta is essential for fetal growth and development while the melatonergic system seems to play a critical physiological role in this organ since melatonin, its synthetic enzymes and receptors are present in the placenta. In current study, Mtnr1a and Mtnr1b knockout mice were constructed to explore the potential roles of melatonergic system played on the placental function and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR).

The renal tubular organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) and multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 (MATE1) mediate the vectorial elimination of many drugs and toxins from the kidney, and endogenous biomarkers for vectorial transport (OCT2-MATE1) would allow more accurate drug dosing and help to characterize drug-drug interactions and toxicity. Human serum uptake in OCT2-overexpressing cells and metabolomics analysis were carried out. Potential biomarkers were verified in vitro and in vivo.
