Ordinary and hyperlipidemic rats were gavaged with lotus seed resistant starch (LRS), and the structure of the small intestinal flora and bile acids composition were determined for four groups of rats to construct a relationship network diagram between different bacterial genera, bile acids and blood lipid profiles, revealing a microbial mechanism for the lipid-lowering effect of LRS in hyperlipidemic rats. LRS inhibited the growth of Romboutsia, Bacillus, Blautia, norank_f__Muribaculaceae and norank_f__Eubacterium_coprostanoligenes_group in hyperlipidemic rats. Meanwhile LRS promoted the production of primary bile acids (CA, CDCA, β-MCA) and secondary bile acids (LCA, UDCA), and reduced the contents of TCA, Dehydro-LCA, isoLCA, LCA-3-S and THDCA in hyperlipidemic rats. Furthermore, Blautia, norank_f__Muribaculaceae and norank_f__Eubacterium_coprostanoligenes_group were positively correlated with Dehydro-LCA, isoLCA, TCA, LCA-3-S, TCHO, TG and LDL-C. In summary, LRS improves blood lipid levels by regulating small intestinal flora and accelerating the breakdown of cholesterol into bile acids in the liver.

Colorectal cancer has the second highest mortality among cancer sites worldwide, with increasing morbidity, high recurrence rates, and even poorer postoperative quality of life. Therefore, preventive strategies for colorectal cancer should be established. This study aimed to cross-sectionally explore dietary patterns affecting the intestinal metabolism of bile acids (BAs), a risk factor for colorectal cancer, in young Japanese women.

Mechanistic implications of the Mediterranean diet in patients with newly diagnosed Crohn's disease- multi-omic results from a prospective cohort.

Background: To decipher the mechanisms underlying the protective role of the Mediterranean diet (MED) in Crohn's disease (CD), we explored the implications of adherence to MED on CD course, inflammatory markers, microbial and metabolite composition.

Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed CD were recruited and followed prospectively. MED adherence was assessed by repeated food frequency questionnaires (FFQ), using a predefined IBDMED score, alongside validated MED adherence screeners.

Bile acids (BAs) play important roles in the context of lipid homeostasis and inflammation. Based on extensive preclinical mouse studies, BA signaling pathways have been implicated as therapeutic targets for cardiovascular diseases. However, differences in BA metabolism between mice and humans hamper translation of preclinical outcomes.

Metabolites identification is the major bottleneck in untargeted LC-MS metabolomics, primarily due to the limited availability of MS information for most detected metabolites in data dependent acquisition (DDA) mode. To solve this problem, we have integrated the iterative, interval, and segmented window acquisition concepts to develop an innovative non-fixed segmented window interval data dependency acquisition (NFSWI-DDA) mode, which achieves comparable MS coverage to data independent acquisition (DIA) mode. This acquisition strategy harnesses the strengths of both DDA and DIA, which could provide extensive coverage and excellent reproducibility of MS spectra.

Background: Although bariatric and metabolic surgical methods, including duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB), were shown to improve metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in clinical trials and experimental rodent models, their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study therefore evaluated the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action of DJB in rats with MASLD.

Methods: Rats with MASLD were randomly assigned to undergo DJB or sham surgery.
