Postprandial kinetics of genes expression of gastric (chitinase, pepsinogen) and intestinal (alkaline phosphatase, maltase) digestive enzymes and nutrient transporters (peptide transporter 1, sodium-glucose transporter 1), Brush Border Membrane (BBM) enzymes activity (alkaline phosphatase, leucine aminopeptidase, maltase, saccharase) and blood biochemistry (triglycerides, cholesterol, protein, albumin, glucose, amino acids) through NMR spectroscopy, were investigated in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed a commercial aquafeed. For this purpose, fish were starved 72 h and digestive tract and blood were sampled before the meal and at 1.5, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 h after feeding (T0, T1.5, T3, T6, T9, T12 and T24). The postprandial kinetic showed that the expression of the genes involved in digestion and nutrient transport, the activity of BBM enzymes, and the presence of metabolites in blood were stimulated in different ways by the presence of feed in the digestive tract. The expression of most genes peaked 3 h after meal except gastric pepsinogen and maltase in distal intestine that peaked at T9 and T12, respectively. The activity of BBM enzymes were stimulated differently based on the intestine tract. The plasma proteins level increased from T1.5 until T9, while the other blood parameters unvariated during the postprandial period. This study supplied useful information about the physiological effects a single meal as a potential tool for planning nutritional studies involving the digestive functions.

Article Synopsis
- The research investigates the effects of three natural compounds—berbamine, bergapten, and carveol—on neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain caused by chronic constriction injury (CCI-NP).
- The study employed various computational and experimental techniques, including molecular docking and dynamic simulations to evaluate how these compounds interact with key inflammatory targets like COX-2, TNF-α, and NF-κB.
- Results indicated that berbamine demonstrated significant neuroprotective effects, improving pain-related behaviors and reducing oxidative stress markers while inhibiting overexpression of inflammatory factors.
Impact of porcine brush border membrane enzymes on INFOGEST in vitro digestion model: A step forward to mimic the small intestinal phase.

Brush border membrane (BBM) enzymes greatly affect the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of food nutrients. Despite their physiological importance, a step simulating the final stage of intestinal digestion has not yet been included in the harmonized protocols for in vitro digestion, primarily due to the challenges of replicating the dynamics of intestinal degradation. Herein, we propose an advancement toward a more physiologically relevant method, complementing the harmonized static gastric-duodenal digestion INFOGEST model with the missing small intestinal phase.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of a microencapsulated blend of botanicals and organic acids on digestive enzymes and nutrient transporters in broilers, revealing beneficial impacts on gut health and growth performance.
- 288 birds were divided into a control group and a supplemented group, with significant improvements in feed efficiency and intestinal histology observed in the supplemented group after 21 days.
- Key findings included enhanced activities of enzymes like maltase and sucrase and increased expression of nutrient transporters, indicating that the blend positively influences nutrient absorption in the broilers.

Esophageal cancer ranks among the most prevalent malignant tumors globally. The prognosis for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma remains poor, with a 5-year survival rate below 20 % due to limited advances in therapy. Ferroptosis, a novel form of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation-driven regulated cell death (RCD), shows significant promise in cancer treatment.

Article Synopsis
- - Obesity is linked to low-grade inflammation and issues with energy balance and heat production, and the influence of regulatory T cells (Treg) on these processes is not well understood.
- - Research shows that the p38 pathway is crucial for T cell-related inflammation and thermogenesis in fat tissue; mice lacking specific p38 activators are less likely to become obese and have better metabolic health.
- - IL-35, which promotes fat cell thermogenesis and reduces inflammation, is found in lower levels in obese patients; the study reveals that p38 regulates IL-35 expression through the mTOR pathway in Treg cells.
