Postnatal growth retardation (PGR) frequently occurs during early postnatal development of piglets and induces high mortality. To date, the mechanism of PGR remains poorly understood. Adipose tissue-derived microbes have been documented to be associated with several disorders of metabolism and body growth.

From a detailed review of 90 experimental and clinical metabolomic investigations of obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), we have developed metabolomic hallmarks for both obesity and MASLD. Obesity studies were conducted in mice, rats, and humans, with consensus biomarker groups in plasma/serum being essential and nonessential amino acids, energy metabolites, gut microbiota metabolites, acylcarnitines and lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC), which formed the basis of the six metabolomic hallmarks of obesity. Additionally, mice and rats shared elevated cholesterol, humans and rats shared elevated fatty acids, and humans and mice shared elevated VLDL/LDL, bile acids and phosphatidylcholines (PC).

Introduction: The increasing prevalence of systemic fungal infections, especially among immunocompromised individuals, highlights the need for advancements in targeted and effective antifungal treatments. This study presents a novel nanomaterial, CFW-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugate (CFW-PEc), designed to enhance the delivery and efficacy of antifungal agents by targeting fungal cell walls through specific chitin binding. Ethosomes, lipid-based nanocarriers known for their ability to improve drug delivery across skin and cell membranes, were utilized in this study.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), including lymphocytes, are important components of the human immune system. These cells contain a diverse array of lipids, primarily glycerophospholipids (GPs) and sphingolipids (SPs), which play essential roles in cellular structure, signaling, and programmed cell death. This study presents a detailed analysis of GP and SP profiles in human PBMC samples using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).
