Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5), also known as G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1), is a cell surface receptor involved in key physiological processes, including glucose homeostasis and energy metabolism. Recent research has focused on the role of TGR5 activation in preventing or treating diabetes while also highlighting its potential impact on the progression of diabetic complications. Functional foods and edible plants have emerged as valuable sources of natural compounds that can activate TGR5, offering potential therapeutic benefits for diabetes management. Despite growing interest, studies on the activation of TGR5 by dietary bioactive compounds remain scattered. This Review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of how dietary bioactives act as potential agents for TGR5 activation in managing diabetes and its complications. It explores the mechanisms of TGR5 activation through both direct agonistic effects and indirect pathways via modulation of the gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism.

Proline rich-39 (PR-39) is a natural antimicrobial protein with good antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. The miniature Wuzhishan pig (WZSP) has important similarities to humans in anatomical structure, physiological characteristics, and nutrient metabolism that make it an important model animal for biomedical research. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect and therapeutic mechanism of PR-39 on intestinal barrier function using the LPS-induced enteritis model in WZSPs.

Background: Specnuezhenide (SPN) is an iridoid glycoside isolated from , an herb prescribed for the treatment of senile osteoporosis. However, the direct role of SPN on bone metabolism remains unclear. In this study, the effects of SPN on d-galactose (d-gal)-induced mice, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and nuclear factor-κB ligand-induced osteoclasts were examined.

Berberine has extremely low oral bioavailability, but shows a potent lipid-lowering effect, indicating its potential role in regulating intestinal microbiota, which has not been investigated. In the present study, five experimental diets, a control diet (Con), a high-lipid diet (HL), and high-lipid·diets·supplemented with an antibiotic cocktail (HLA), berberine (HLB), or both (HLAB) were fed to zebrafish () for 30 days. The HLB group showed significantly greater weight gain and feed intake than the HLA and other groups, respectively ( < 0.

Background And Purpose: Vincamine has extensive biological and pharmaceutical activity. We examined the hepatoprotective effects and mechanisms by which vincamine suppresses hepatic fibrosis.
Experimental Approach: Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), TGF-β stimulated, were cultured with either vincamine, farnesoid X receptor (NR1H4; FXR) agonist or antagonist.
