Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a class 1 carcinogen and mycotoxin known to contribute to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), growth impairment, altered immune system modulation, and malnutrition. AFB1 is synthesized by Aspergillus flavus and is known to widely contaminate foodstuffs, particularly maize, wheat, and groundnuts. The mechanism in which AFB1 causes genetic mutations has been well studied, however its metabolomic effects remained largely unknown.

Background: Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are closely associated with lipoprotein metabolism, and changes in lipid profiles potentially affect their levels and functions. Given the alterations in lipid metabolism after cholecystectomy, this study aimed to investigate the levels of four EET regioisomers (free and esterified) and lipid profiles in patients with cholelithiasis after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and explore correlations between these parameters.
Methods: This prospective study involved 40 patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis who underwent LC.

The actin-based motor myosin-19 (Myo19) exerts force on mitochondrial membrane receptors Miro1/2, influencing endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria contact sites and mitochondrial cristae structure. The Mitochondrial Intermembrane Bridging (MIB) complex connects the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes at the cristae junction through the MICOS system. However, the interaction between Myo19, Miro1/2, and the MIB/MICOS complex in cristae regulation remains unclear.

Introduction: Chronic fetal hypoxia is commonly associated with fetal growth restriction and can predispose to respiratory disease at birth and in later life. Antenatal antioxidant treatment has been investigated to overcome the effects of oxidative stress to improve respiratory outcomes. We aimed to determine if the effects of chronic fetal hypoxia and antenatal antioxidant administration persist in the lung in early adulthood.

Introduction: Oxyresveratrol (ORes) exhibits significant anticancer activity, particularly against breast cancer. However, its exact mechanism of action (MOA) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacological activity and underlying MOA.
