A 10-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary carbohydrate-to-lipid (CHO:L) ratios on glycogen content, hematological indices, liver, and intestinal enzyme activity of sub-adult grouper Epinephelus coioides. Five iso-nitrogenous (496.0 g kg protein) and iso-energetic (21.6 KJ g gross energy) diets with varying CHO: L ratios of 0.65 (D1), 1.31 (D2), 2.33 (D3), 4.24 (D4), and 8.51 (D5), respectively, were fed to triplicate groups of 20 fish (average 275.1 ± 1.86 g). Results showed that the weight gain rate (WGR), specific growth rate (SGR), and protein efficiency ratio (PER) of sub-adult grouper increased and then stable when dietary CHO:L ratios reach D4 (CHO:L = 4.24). The trend of feed conversion ratio (FCR) was opposite to PER. Along with the dietary CHO:L ratios, the liver and muscle glycogen level increased gradually. Plasma triglycerides (TG) and glucose (GLU) were all maximized at D5 (CHO:L = 8.51) group, cholesterol (CHOL) at D4 (CHO:L = 4.24) group. Digestive enzyme activities were significantly affected by dietary CHO:L ratios. Liver hexokinase (HK), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) activity increased significantly as CHO:L ratios increased. Liver lysozyme (LYZ) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of sub-adult grouper fed the D4 diet was significantly higher than that of the D2 (CHO:L = 1.31) diet. The trend of acid phosphatase (ACP) is opposite to AKP. The regression model analysis showed that the most suitable dietary CHO:L ratio to reach the highest SGR is 6.06.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how L-Arginine (L-Arg) affects lipid membranes using various techniques like fluorescence spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering.
- L-Arg reduces the polarizability of saturated lipids, leading to an increase in vesicle size, while in unsaturated lipids, it increases polarizability without significantly changing size.
- The interaction of L-Arg differs based on whether the lipids are saturated or unsaturated, and cholesterol appears to dampen these effects.
Clinicopathologic Features of a Rare and Underrecognized Variant of Early-stage Primary Biliary Cholangitis With Ductopenia.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on early-stage primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) with a rare condition known as ductopenia, which involves significant bile duct loss without major liver damage.
- Researchers analyzed data from 141 PBC patients over 4.5 years, finding that those with ductopenia had notably higher levels of liver enzymes and cholesterol but a poorer response to standard treatments compared to those without ductopenia.
- High baseline cholesterol levels were identified as a key predictor for ductopenia in early-stage PBC patients, indicating a potential risk factor for adverse health outcomes.
