Objective: To investigate whether there is a difference in sensitivity to a serotonin agonist, meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP), or cholecystokinin (CCK-8), an intestinal hormone that inhibits food intake, between the Osborne-Mendel (OM) rat, which becomes obese eating a high-fat diet, and the S5B/Pl (S5B) rat, which is resistant to dietary-induced obesity.

Research Methods And Procedures: OM and S5B rats were adapted to either a high-saturated-fat diet (56% energy as fat) or a low-fat diet (10% energy as fat) or to both for 14 days and then treated with several doses of mCPP or CCK-8.

Results: Treatment with mCPP reduced food intake in both strains of rats. The dose-response curve showed that the OM rats had an increased sensitivity to the serotonergic agonist. Animals eating the high-fat diet had less response to mCPP; and in the S5B rats, the response was significantly reduced. After treatment with CCK-8, there was a similar dose-related suppression of food intake in both the OM and S5B rats.

Discussion: These data are consistent with the hypothesis that the serotonin system in the S5B rat has a greater activity that could act to inhibit fat intake. The response to CCK was not significantly affected by strain or diet.

Objective: To provide insights and strategies for pegvaliase management in challenging cases with phenylketonuria (PKU) based on the first 5 years of experience with pegvaliase in real-world clinical practice.

Methods: Twelve PKU experts gathered during a one-day, in-person meeting to discuss clinical cases illustrating important lessons from their experiences treating patients with pegvaliase in real-world clinical practice. Challenges with pegvaliase experienced prior to and during treatment and corresponding strategies to overcome them were discussed.

Background And Aim: A healthy diet has been recommended for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aim to investigate the associations of diet quality indices with the risk of developingmetabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).

Methods: We conducted this nested case-control study by recruiting 968 cases with MAFLD and 964 controls from the participants of the baseline phase of the Sabzevar Persian Cohort Study (SPCS).

Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on a mineral salt, containing potassium and magnesium, as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF is a mineral salt that consists mainly of magnesium potassium trichloride hexahydrate. The information provided on the composition is sufficient for characterising the NF and does not raise safety concerns.
