Background & Aims: Polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) are pervasive in our daily life and can be ingested by the human body through bioaccumulation, causing organ damage, especially liver damage. However, the effect of PS-MPs bioaccumulation on human hepatotoxicity and their metabolism remains unclear. Recent studies have demonstrated that PS-MPs cause lipid and bile acid metabolism disorders.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible role of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs: PPAR-α, PPAR-β/δ, and PPAR-γ) in diet and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)-induced milk fat depression (MFD) in dairy cows. We hypothesized that the expression of PPARs, which regulate lipid metabolism and bind to polyunsaturated fatty acids, could be modulated by biohydrogenation intermediates that induce MFD, thereby interfering with milk fat synthesis. First, tissue profiling revealed that PPAR-α and PPAR-β/δ had low expression in mammary tissue compared with the liver.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has caused a global pandemic. Gastric cancer (GC) poses a great threat to people's health, which is a high-risk factor for COVID-19. Previous studies have found some associations between GC and COVID-19, whereas the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood.

To improve human hepatotoxicity prediction, in vitro liver cell models replicating hepatocyte function, drug metabolism, and toxicity are required. Here, we present a protocol for creating 3D primary human hepatocyte (PHH) cell models using the RASTRUM Platform. We describe the process for PHH model generation; procedures for characterizing the PHH model, including viability, albumin production, and CYP450 inducibility; and drug treatment using acetaminophen and troglitazone.

Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury is a rare and unpredictable event. Deciphering its initiating-mechanism is a hard task as its occurrence is individual dependent. Thus, studies that utilize models that are not individual-centric might drive to a general mechanistic conclusion that is not necessarily true.
