Background: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is mainly secreted by the liver, and plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism disorder. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) can regulate lipid metabolism through various pathways, including reducing visceral fat accumulation, modulating serum lipoprotein levels and alleviating hepatic steatosis. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms remain unclear.

is a valuable edible fungus with multidimensional bioactivities; however, research on protein and its beneficial effects on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have been limited. In this study, protein (MEP) with 80.59% protein content was prepared, isolated, and characterized by the complete amino acid composition.

Background: Dogs with hepatocutaneous syndrome (HCS) have marked plasma hypoaminoacidemia, but its occurrence in dogs with chronic liver diseases not associated with HCS (non-HCS CLD) is unknown.
Objectives: To determine if plasma hypoaminoacidemia occurs in dogs with non-HCS CLD, compare plasma amino acid (PAA) profiles between dogs with non-HCS CLD and HCS, and define a sensitive and specific PAA pattern for diagnosing HCS.
Animals: Data were collected from client-owned dogs, a prospective cohort of 32 with CLD and 1 with HCS, and a retrospective cohort of 7 with HCS.

Background: Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a compound derived from Cruciferous vegetables. We aim to ascertain whether I3C mediates the relations between mouse gut microbiota, intestinal barrier function, and metabolism to treat obesity in mice.
Methods: The experimental analyses focused on the changes in lipid distribution, inflammatory cytokines, glucose tolerance, gut microbiota composition, and serum metabolomics of 60 C57BL/6N mice.
Unlabelled: Growth hormone (GH) plays a crucial role in various physiological functions, with its secretion tightly regulated by complex endocrine mechanisms. Pathological conditions such as acromegaly or pituitary tumors result in elevated circulating GH levels, which have been implicated in a spectrum of metabolic disorders, potentially by regulating liver metabolism. In this study, we focused on the liver, a key organ in metabolic regulation and a primary target of GH, to investigate the impact of high circulating GH on liver metabolism.
