Huangjiu usually caused rapid-drunkenness and components such as β-benzyl ethanol (β-be), isopentanol (Iso), histamine (His), and phenethylamine (PEA) have been reported linked with intoxication. However, the destructive effect of these components on gut microbiota and liver is unclear. In this study, we found oral treatment of these components, especially His, stimulated the level of oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines in liver and serum of mice. The gut microbiota community was changed and the level of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increased significantly. Additionally, cellular pyroptosis pathway has been assessed and correlation analysis revealed a possible relationship between gut microbiota and liver pyroptosis. We speculated oral His treatment caused the reprogramming of gut microbiota metabolism, and increased LPS modulated the gut-liver interaction, resulting in liver pyroptosis, which might cause health risks. This study provided a theoretical basis for the effect of Huangjiu, facilitating the development of therapeutic and preventive strategies for related inflammatory disorders.

It is urgent for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to develop a robust and facile therapy for effective control of serum phosphate and reasonable regulation of gut microbiota, which are aiming to prevent cardiovascular calcification and reduce cardiovascular complications. Here, bioinspired by intestinal microstructures, we developed biomimetic wrinkled prebiotic-containing microspheres with enhanced intestinal retention and absorption for reducing hyperphosphatemia and vascular calcification of CKD model rats. The resultant CSM@5 microspheres exhibited favorable phosphate binding capacity in vitro and could effectively reduce serum concentration of phosphorous in vivo.

Exercise provides health benefits to multiple metabolic tissues through complex biological pathways and interactions between organs. However, investigating these complex mechanisms in humans is still limited, making mouse models extremely useful for exploring exercise-induced changes in whole-body metabolism and health. In this review, we focus on gaining a broader understanding of the metabolic phenotypes and molecular mechanisms induced by exercise in mouse models.

This research explored the effect of high-fiber diet based on gut microbiota on chronic heart failure (HF) patients. Chronic HF patients, who had undergone a dietary survey indicating a daily dietary fiber intake of less than 15g/d were divided into the control and study groups (n = 50). In addition to conventional heart failure treatment, the study group received dietary guidance, while the control group did not receive any dietary guidance and maintained their usual low-fiber dietary habits.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis and inflammation. Serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin (SBI) is used to manage IBS and IBD and has shown prebiotic-like effects in ex vivo models. Re-establishing a healthy gut microbiome with novel treatments like SBI could help treat the underlying causes of these diseases leading to higher and sustained patient response.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, non-specific intestinal disease of unknown etiology, with high incidence rates worldwide. At present, Western medicine treatments have been associated with more adverse effects and poor efficacy. Chinese medicine (CM) is commonly used as an adjuvant treatment for the unique advantages in regulating immune function, repairing intestinal mucosa, and alleviating intestinal inflammation.
