Fatty liver impairs liver function and reduces productivity in dairy cows. Our previous in vivo findings demonstrated that branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) or branched-chain ketoacid (BCKA) improved liver function and lactation performance in dairy cows; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the impact of BCAA or BCKA supplementation on intracellular triglyceride (TG) accumulation, lipid metabolism, antioxidant response, and apoptosis in hepatocytes.

Pregnancies complicated by maternal obesity are characterized by metabolic differences affecting placental nutrient transport and fetal development. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is critical for fetal brain development and is primarily incorporated into phosphatidylcholine (PC). Recent evidence suggests that choline may enhance PC-DHA synthesis; however, data on the impact of maternal plasma choline on placental phospholipid DHA content in females with obesity are limited.

Liposomes have attracted attention in biomedicine and pharmacy for their benefits including reduced toxicity, extended pharmacokinetics, and biocompatibility. However, their limitations include susceptibility to blood clearance, rapid disintegration, and lack of functionality, restricting their further applications. To address these challenges, inspired by the unique topological features of cyclic polymers and the specific binding property of the choline phosphate (CP) lipid, dipole-dipole interactions between CP molecules are utilized to create a detachable cyclic PEG-embedded CP liposome (d-cycPEG-lipo).

With the urge to reduce the use of petroleum-based materials, the aim of this work is to valorize biowaste to develop smart films through a sustainable fabrication way. In this regard, choline chloride/urea (1:2) deep eutectic solvent (DES) at different concentrations (25, 40, 50 and 75 wt%) was used to dissolve cow horn, used as reinforcement agent in soy protein films. The film fabrication was carried out by compression molding, a fast and cost-effective.

Hepatocyte hopping is the hepatocyte-to-sinusoid-to-hepatocyte shuttling that increases the efficiency of hepatic elimination of xenobiotics. This phenomenon is mediated efflux of hepatic metabolites by Mrp3 and reuptake by Oatp transporters in sequential hepatocytes until eventual biliary efflux by Mrp2. Sorafenib-glucuronide (SFB-G), the major metabolite of sorafenib (SFB), undergoes hepatocyte hopping, leading to efficient biliary elimination.
