Background: Intestinal ischemia is often caused by a malperfusion of the upper mesenteric artery. Since the intestinal mucosa is one of the most rapidly proliferating organs in human body, this tissue can partly regenerate itself after the onset of ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Therefore, we investigated whether glycine, sodium pyruvate, and resveratrol can either support or potentially harm regeneration when applied therapeutically after reperfusion injury.
Methods: I/R of the small intestine was initiated by occluding and reopening the upper mesenteric artery in rats. After 60 min of ischemia and 300 min of reperfusion, glycine, sodium pyruvate, or resveratrol was administered intravenously. Small intestine regeneration was analyzed regarding tissue damage, activity of saccharase, and Ki-67 positive cells. Additionally, systemic parameters and metabolic ones were obtained at selected periods.
Results: Resveratrol failed in improving the outcome after I/R, while glycine showed a partial beneficial effect. Sodium pyruvate ameliorated metabolic acidosis, diminished histopathologic tissue injury, and increased cell proliferation in the small intestine.
Conclusion: While glycine could improve in part regeneration but not proliferation, sodium pyruvate seems to be a possible therapeutic agent to facilitate proliferation and to support mucosal regeneration after I/R injury to the small intestine.

Melatonin (Mel) is a tryptophan-derived (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) molecule. In the present study, role of Mel in the regulation of various anaplerotic enzymes is discussed in relation to N metabolism and H-ATPase activity in mung bean under Cd stress. The application of Mel to the Cd-stressed mung bean seedlings was remarkable in improving the activity of hexokinase (35.

Itaconate, an abundant metabolite produced by macrophages upon interferon-γ stimulation, possesses both antibacterial and immunomodulatory properties. Despite its crucial role in immunity and antimicrobial control, its mechanism of action and dissimilation are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that infection of mice with increases itaconate levels in lung tissues.

Objective: Gliomas are the predominant form of malignant brain tumors. We investigated the mechanism of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) affecting glioma metabolic reprogramming, proliferation and invasion.
Methods: Human glioma cell U87 was cultured under hypoxia and treated with small interfering (si)HIF-1α, si-B cell lymphoma-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa interacting protein 3 (siBNIP3), si-YT521-B homology domain 2 (siYTHDF2), 3-methyladenine and 2-deoxyglucose, with exogenous sodium lactate-treated normally-cultured cells as a lactate-positive control.

Cisplatin nephrotoxicity is a significant clinical issue, and currently, no approved drug exists to prevent cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). This study investigated whether sodium phenylbutyrate (4-PBA), a chemical chaperone, can prevent cisplatin-induced AKI. Six consecutive days of intraperitoneal injections of 4-PBA were administered in a murine model before and after the cisplatin challenge.

Despite the impressive clinical benefits and widespread adoption of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) to treat all classes of heart failure, their cardiovascular mechanisms of action are poorly understood. Proposed mechanisms range broadly and include enhanced ketogenesis, where the mild ketosis associated with SGLT2i use is presumed to be beneficial. However, in this issue of the JCI, carefully conducted metabolic flux studies by Goedeke et al.
