Background: It remains unclear whether early sleeve gastrectomy (SG) improves postprandial very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) as well as chylomicron triglycerides (TGs) in a weight-independent manner in patients with or without type 2 diabetes (DM). Herein we investigated the early effects of SG on postprandial VLDL and chylomicron kinetics.

Methods: A liquid meal test was performed before and after 1 week of SG. The plasma was collected for postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoprotein kinetics analyses, including VLDLs and chylomicrons, isolated by high-speed ultracentrifugation. Lipidomics and metabolomics were used to profile lipid and metabolite compositions of plasma and postprandial chylomicrons. De novo fatty acid synthesis in intestinal epithelial cells treated with chylomicron metabolites was examined using RT-PCR, immunoblotting, and free fatty acid measurement.

Results: We found that patients with DM had markedly higher VLDL TGs than patients without DM, and such an increase was still retained after SG. In contrast, SG significantly decreased postprandial chylomicron TGs, but surprisingly, the degree of the reduction in patients with DM was less prominent than in patients without DM, confirmed by untargeted lipidomics analysis. Moreover, 5 unique metabolites potentially linked to de novo fatty acid synthesis from the pathway analysis were discovered by further metabolomic analysis of postprandial chylomicrons from patients with DM who underwent SG and verified by In vitro intestinal epithelial cell culture experiments.

Conclusions: SG in 1 week did not impact postprandial VLDL but decreased chylomicron TGs. Patients with DM keep higher postprandial chylomicron TG concentrations than patients without it after SG, potentially through some unique metabolites that increase intestinal fatty acid synthesis. These results implicate the timing for SG to reach lower intestinal fatty acid synthesis and postprandial chylomicron TG production is prior to the diagnosis of DM to potentially reduce cardiovascular risks.

Unlabelled: Bioprospecting can uncover new yeast strains and species with interesting ecological characteristics and valuable biotechnological traits, such as the capacity to convert different carbon sources from industrial side and waste streams into bioproducts. In this study, we conducted untargeted yeast bioprospecting in tropical West Africa, collecting 1,996 isolates and determining their growth in 70 different environments. While the collection contains numerous isolates with the potential to assimilate several cost-effective and sustainable carbon and nitrogen sources, we focused on characterizing the 203 strains capable of growing on lactose, the main carbon source in the abundant side stream cheese whey from dairy industries.

This study investigated the effects of on alleviating loperamide-induced constipation. To evaluate the efficacy of in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, fecal parameters, the intestinal transit rate, and changes in intestinal mucosal cells were measured through histological analysis. Additionally, serotonin levels, water absorption, tight junction-related gene expression, and the cecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) content were analyzed.

Biomarkers in the diagnosis of mast cell activation.

Division of Allergic Diseases, Mayo Clinic Rochester, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.

Purpose Of Review: Mast cell activation is defined by activation of mast cells by varying stimuli with release of chemical mediators either through degranulation or release of de novo synthesized proteins or lipid mediators. Currently, tryptase measurement increase during symptomatic episodes is the most accepted biomarker measurement for mast cell activation. However, newer diagnostic tools including clinically available urinary mast cell mediators are noninvasive and can be more readily obtained compared to serum tryptase levels.

The present work aimed to examine the primary mechanisms of liver damage, namely the impact of gut-derived endotoxins along the gut-liver axis and adipose-derived free fatty acids along the adipose-liver axis. These processes are known to play a significant role in the development of hepatic inflammation and steatosis. Although possible overlapping in the pathogenesis was expected, these processes have unique pathophysiological consequences.
