Objectives: To reconcile observing a positive correlation of betaine excretion with homocysteine in lipid disorder patients but not other study groups.
Design And Methods: Correlations were estimated in subgroups of a control group and the lipid disorder patients.
Results: Plasma non high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol differed (p<0.0001) between the groups. The correlation increased with the median plasma non-HDL cholesterol in subgroups.
Conclusions: This correlation is associated with patients with elevated plasma lipids.

Metabolomics reveals alterations in gut-derived uremic toxins and tryptophan metabolism in feline chronic kidney disease.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the most common conditions affecting felines, yet the metabolic alterations underlying its pathophysiology remain poorly understood, hindering progress in identifying biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive view of metabolic changes in feline CKD across conserved biochemical pathways and evaluate their progression throughout the disease continuum. Using a multi-biomatrix high-throughput metabolomics approach, serum and urine samples from CKD-affected cats ( = 94) and healthy controls ( = 84) were analyzed with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the link between fruit and vegetable consumption and blood pressure (BP) and body mass index (BMI) by using objective measurements instead of self-reported dietary assessments, which can be unreliable.
- Researchers used advanced techniques to analyze urine samples from participants in the US and UK, identifying specific metabolites associated with fruit and vegetable intake.
- The findings showed that certain metabolites were inversely related to systolic BP and BMI, highlighting that higher fruit and vegetable intake could lead to lower BP and BMI, largely due to citrate levels in urine.

The decontamination of polluted soils is a major socioeconomic issue in many industrialized countries. In situ remediation approaches are nowadays preferred to ex situ techniques, but they require among others the use of bioindicators, which are sensitive to the progressive depollution on health effects. Animal species have been mainly used so far to monitor aquatic and air pollution.

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant, well known for its neurotoxic effects. MeHg can interact with several nutrients in the diet and affect nutrient metabolism, however the interaction between MeHg and dietary proteins has not been thoroughly investigated. Male BALB/c mice were fed diets based on either casein, cod or chicken as protein sources, which were or were not spiked with MeHg (3.

Although anticoccidials effectively control coccidiosis, a needed reduction in the reliance on antimicrobials in animal production leads to the exploration of alternative compounds. The present study aimed to test five different dietary treatments to counteract the negative impact of coccidiosis on broiler chickens' health and performance. 1-day-old male Ross 308 broilers (n = 960) were randomly assigned to one of eight treatments, with six cages per treatment (20 birds/cage).
