AI Article Synopsis
- Young male Sprague-Dawley rats were given different diets for 26 weeks, including a regular diet, a control liquid diet, and a liquid diet with alcohol.
- The researchers used drugs like phenylephrine and nitroprusside to observe how those diets affected heart rate and blood pressure regulation.
- Results indicated that alcohol in the diet increased nerve responses to phenylephrine but did not lower heart rate, suggesting that alcohol impacts arterial compliance and impairs baroreceptor function without raising blood pressure.
Article Abstract
1. Young male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed on either solid regular rat chow, control liquid diet or liquid diet containing alcohol for 26 weeks. 2. Phenylephrine (0.5, 1, 2 or 4 micrograms/kg) was injected to monitor the reflexogenic bradycardia and nitroprusside (2, 4, 8 or 16 micrograms/kg) was also used to establish the relationship between drug-induced hypotension and baroreceptor-mediated tachycardia. 3. Multiunit renal nerve activity was determined under pentobarbitone anaesthesia as an index of sympathetic nerve activity during the treatment with phenylephrine or nitroprusside. 4. Alcohol-fed rats showed greater nerve responses to phenylephrine without corresponding decrease in heart rate, which suggests alcohol directly affects arterial wall compliance. This study does not support the contention that dietary alcohol increases blood pressure and it impairs significantly the baroreceptor function.

Maternal diet has long-term effects on offspring brain development and behavior. Sucrose (table sugar) intakes are high in modern diets, but it is not clear how a maternal high-sucrose diet (HSD) affects the offspring. In rats, a maternal HSD (26% of calories from sucrose, which is human-relevant) alters maternal metabolism and brain and also alters adult offspring endocrinology and behavior in a sex-specific manner.

Background: Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including propionic acid (PA), are key in immunological research. Supplementing PA has shown benefits for autoimmune diseases. A comprehensive understanding of the PA pharmacokinetics is essential for the optimal design and execution of studies utilizing orally administered PA.

Bedaquiline is employed to treat multidrug-resistant and extensive drug-resistant tuberculosis by inhibiting the proton pump of adenosine triphosphate synthase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This study aims to investigate the effect of high-fat diets on the pharmacokinetics of bedaquiline through a single-center, open-label, randomized trial in healthy Chinese participants. Bedaquiline fumarate tablets were administered at a dosage of 100 mg under both fasted conditions and high-fat diet conditions.

The purpose of the current study was to explore the effects of Moringa oleifera feed on the taxonomy and function of the rumen microbial community, and further to evaluate its impact on milk yield and body weight in lactating goats. Nineteen goats were divided into moringa leaf diet (ML; n=10) and masoor straw (MS; n=9) groups. For each group fortnight milk yield and body weight was recorded.

Rationale: The dietary components choline, betaine, and L-carnitine are converted by intestinal microbiota into the molecule trimethylamine (TMA). In the human liver, hepatic flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 oxidizes TMA to trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). TMAO is considered a candidate marker for the risk of cardiovascular disease.
