A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of free fatty acids in plasma has been developed which allows the resolution of the major plasma fatty acids in man. A mixture of thirteen fatty acid anthrylmethyl esters is resolved on a Spherisorb 3-micron C8 column at a flow-rate of 1 ml/min by gradient elution. The solvent system consists of acetonitrile-water (93:7) for 12 min, followed by 5 min at acetonitrile-water (86:14) and 23 min at 100% acetonitrile. The eluent is monitored with a fluorescence detector (excitation 360 nm, emission 420 nm). Three different C18 columns were evaluated, and none were able to resolve all the esters. To optimize the separation on the C8 columns it was necessary to construct plots of log capacity factor vs. percent water in the mobile phase. The slope of the line for arachidonic acid (C20:4) was markedly different from that for the saturated acid derivatives. The method was applied to the analysis of plasma free fatty acids in normal and diabetic subjects. As expected, elevated levels of free fatty acids were found in diabetic subjects. The results were shown to correlate well with an established gas chromatographic assay.

Background: Tumors and surgical procedures trigger a series of metabolic responses that put gastric cancer patients at constant risk of malnutrition during the perioperative period. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of enteral immunonutrition (EIN) for these patients remains a subject of ongoing debate.
Objective: This systematic review and evidence map aim to retrieve randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on perioperative EIN interventions in gastric cancer patients undergoing surgery and evaluate their effectiveness.

Type 3 resistant starch (RS3) regulates diet-related metabolic diseases by promoting intestinal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and lactate production, and facilitating microbial lactate-to-butyrate fermentation. However, its precise in vivo mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, we studied the effects of type 3 lotus seed resistant starch (LRS3) and sodium lactate (SL) on colonic microbiota composition, metabolism, and lipid parameters.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent chronic condition with an incompletely understood pathogenesis. In this study, five candidate genes-RAG1, CKAP2, CENPK, TYMS, and BUB1-were identified as being associated with NAFLD progression through integrative bioinformatics analyses. A predictive model incorporating these genes demonstrated strong robustness and diagnostic accuracy.

To understand the gut microbiota composition in different intestinal segments is essential to clarify the structure-hypoglycemic relationship of Fructus Mori Polysaccharides (MFP). In this study, the spatial distribution of gut microbiota and fecal metabolites affected by MFP in type 2 diabetes mice was investigated using the 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology and gas chromatography. The results showed that MFP could control body weight and reduce the blood glucose level.
