Polygalasterol A (1), a new sterol sulfate, and a new oligosaccharide ester, polygalasibiricose I (2), have been isolated from the n-butanol soluble fraction of the aerial parts of Polygala sibirica L. Their structures were determined to be (24R)-24-sulfo-5a-cholestane-3a,7a,12a,24-tetrol (1) and 3-O-benzoyl-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2-->1 )-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-( 1 --2)]-4-0- {4-0-[3-O-[3-O-benzoyl-(2-O-acetyl)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->3 )]-2-O-acetyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl]-(Z)-p-coumaroyl}-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (2), respectively, by HRESIMS, and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies.

Background: Zinc (Zn), a fundamental trace element in human biology, exhibits pivotal roles in sustaining vital physiological processes and regulating metabolic homeostasis. Insufficient zinc intake has been linked to deleterious consequences on growth, reproductive functions, metabolic activities, and immune responses in both humans and animals. Oral zinc supplementation is usually performed to meet zinc requirement.

Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) induced-severe hepatic steatosis poses significant health risks. Early prediction of this condition is crucial for prompt intervention. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and tryptophan are gut metabolites correlated with MAFLD pathogenesis in the gut-liver axis.

The pore size structure and surface structure of activated carbon (AC) may be ameliorated using the hydrophobic groups and negative surface charge of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), along with the abundant hydroxyl and amine groups of chitosan (CS). In this study, a composite adsorbent (CS/SDS/AC) created through co-modification of AC with CS and SDS was employed to remove aflatoxins from fragrant peanut oil. CS/SDS/AC exhibited a superior adsorption capacity (89.

Article Synopsis
- Biological aging is associated with changes in body composition and decreased levels of neuroactive steroid hormones, such as DHEAS, which have important roles in signaling.
- The study analyzed gut microbiota in mice to see how it affects lifespan, using advanced techniques like metagenomic sequencing and metabolic pathway analysis, finding specific bacteria correlated with longevity.
- Notably, long-lived mice had a higher presence of Bacteroides, linked to better lipid and steroid hormone metabolism, suggesting that gut bacteria contribute to healthier aging through cholesterol sulfate synthesis.

Disrupted cholesterol homeostasis plays a critical role in the development of multiple diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. However, the role of cholesterol in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated whether and how high levels of cholesterol in the diet affect experimental colitis in mice.
