Purpose: The pharmacokinetic properties of plasma NO and its reduced metabolite, NO, have been separately described, but there has been no reported attempt to simultaneously model their pharmacokinetics following NO ingestion. This report describes development of such a model from retrospective analyses of concentrations largely obtained from primary endpoint efficacy trials.

Methods: Linear and non-linear mixed effects analyses were used to statistically define concentration dependency on time, dose, as well as patient and study variables, and to integrate NO and NO concentrations from studies conducted at different times, locations, patient groups, and several studies in which sample range was limited to a few hours. Published pharmacokinetic studies for both substances were used to supplement model development.

Results: A population pharmacokinetic model relating NO and NO concentrations was developed. The model incorporated endogenous levels of the two entities, and determined these were not influenced by exogenous NO delivery. Covariate analysis revealed intersubject variability in NO exposure was partially described by body weight differences influencing volume of distribution. The model was applied to visualize exposure versus response (muscle contraction performance) in individual patients.

Conclusions: Extension of the present first-generation model, to ultimately optimize NO dose versus pharmacological effects, is warranted.

Background Acute Hepatic Porphyria is a group of four rare genetic but treatable diseases that often go undiagnosed due to its non-specific symptoms, under-recognition of the condition by clinicians, and the lack of access to specialists and appropriate testing. This case-control study investigates the phenotypic and demographic patterns in Acute Hepatic Porphyria (AHP) patients at a tertiary care center (University of California Los Angeles) to update recommendations for recognition and diagnosis of this disease in our community. Method A retrospective chart analysis was conducted on 45 patients who were evaluated for AHP, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data was collected and analyzed to investigate clinical differences and correlations.

Wastewater-based monitoring of antipyretics use during COVID-19 outbreak in China and its associated ecological risks.

At the end of 2022, a sudden policy shift in China triggered an unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak that led to a dramatic increase in the consumption of antipyretics. In this study, the occurrence of the two most commonly used antipyretics (ibuprofen and paracetamol) and their metabolites were analyzed in the wastewater of nine major cities in China, covering the periods before, during, and after the policy change. The remarkable surge after the policy change for ibuprofen and paracetamol reached 67 times (in Nanning) and 311 times (in Lanzhou) compared to pre-pandemic levels, respectively.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to joint deformity and ultimately disability. The metabolite of quercetin, 4-Methylcatechol (4-MC), has been acknowledged for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; however, the protective effects of 4-MC on RA and its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. In a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model, we observed that 4-MC effectively mitigated joint inflammation and bone destruction in CIA mice.

Objective: Physical activity has protective effects on cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs), but the role of metabolism related to physical activity in this process is unclear.

Methods: In the prospective cohort study from UK Biobank between 2006 and 2022, participants free of CMDs at baseline were included (n = 73,990). We identified physical activity-related metabolites and constructed metabolic signature using linear regression and elastic net regression.
