The mutagenic compounds 2-amino-6-methyldipyrido[1,2-alpha:3',2'-d]imidazole (Glu-P-1) and 2- aminodipyrido [1,2-alpha: 3',2'-d]imidazole (Glu-P-2), which were isolated from a glutamic acid pyrolysate and are potent carcinogens in the liver and brown adipose tissue of mice, were found to be multipotent carcinogens in rats. These compounds were each given to F344 rats of both sexes at a concentration of 500 ppm in pellet diet for up to 24 months. Glu-P-1 induced tumors in the colon, small intestine, liver, Zymbal gland, clitoral gland and brain. Glu-P-2 produced tumors in the same sites at slightly lower incidence. The multipotent carcinogenicities of Glu-P-1 and Glu-P-2 in rats and mice suggest that heterocyclic amines present in cooked food may be important in the development of human cancer.

Significant changes in gut microbial composition are associated with chronic liver disease. Using preclinical models, it has been demonstrated that ethanol/alcohol-induced liver disease is transmissible through fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). So, the survival rate of people with severe alcoholic hepatitis got better, which suggests that changes in the makeup and function of gut microbiota play a role in metabolic liver disease.

Context: In recent decades, adverse reactions to gluten have increased, collectively known as gluten-related disorders (GRDs). The most prominent GRD is celiac disease (CD), a T-cell-mediated autoimmune-like disorder of the small intestine triggered by the ingestion of gluten proteins in genetically predisposed individuals. Celiac disease is often associated with various autoimmune and idiopathic conditions, including autoimmune thyroid disorders (AITDs).

Human CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 are two important enzymes for the hydroxylation of estrogens. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential role for FXR receptor in the regulation of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 expressions and activities. First, pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted in male wild-type and Fxr mice after intraperitoneal dosing of exogenous estradiol.
