Bisphenol S (BPS), a structural analog of Bisphenol A (BPA), has been widely used as a substitute for epoxy resin, food packaging materials, and other products due to the limited application of BPA. Studies in vivo and in vitro have indicated that BPA could induce fat accumulation like an obesogen. The main goal of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of BPS in lipid metabolism using Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) as a model. Results showed that both the overall fat deposition and the triglyceride level were significantly increased in a non-monotonically increasing trend, and the low dose of BPS (0.01 μM) exhibited a stronger influence. Additionally, BPS enhanced fat synthesis depending on daf-16, fat-5, fat-6 and fat-7, and inhibited fatty acid oxidation via nhr-49 and acs-2. This study further indicate that fat accumulation induced by BPS requires nhr-49, which also mediated the nuclear hormone signaling pathway.

Sterols target sterol-sensing domain (SSD) proteins to lower cholesterol and circulating and hepatic triglyceride levels, but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we identify acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase long-chain family member 1 (ACSL1) as a direct target of ergosterol (ES). The C-terminal domain of ACSL1 undergoes conformational changes from closed to open, and ES may target the drug-binding pocket in the acetyl-CoA synthetase-like domain 1 (ASLD1) of ACSL1 to stabilize the closed conformation and maintain its activity.

Naringenin has the potential to regulate ferroptosis and mitigate renal damage in diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, it remains unclear whether the naringenin's effects in DN are linked to its ability to regulate ferroptosis. This study investigated the potential anti-ferroptosis properties of naringenin in high glucose (HG)-induced renal tubular epithelial cell models.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a non-motile, encapsulated, environmental gram-negative bacterium. Once the bacteria have infiltrated the body, they can display substantial degrees of resistance to drugs and virulence. Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) are most typically seen in K.

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is an ideal target organ for obesity treatment. Resinacein S is extracted from Ganoderma lucidum and can elevate Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in cells, but its related effects at the animal level are not clear. The mice were fed with high-fat diet to construct obesity models and treated with Resinacein S.
