Carbohydrate metabolism in salivary glands of acutely uremic rats was investigated. In the submandibular glands there was an increase of total carbohydrate and glycogen content 24 and 48 h following binephrectomy or ureter ligation. In contrast, lactate concentration was significantly lower. Similar alterations of carbohydrate metabolism could not be observed in sublingual or parotid glands of acutely uremic rats.

Nematodes, commonly known as roundworms, are among the most prevalent and diverse multicellular organisms on Earth, belonging to the large phylum Nematoda. In addition to free-living species, many nematodes are parasitic, infecting plants, animals, and humans. Nematodes possess a wide array of genes responsible for carbohydrate metabolism and glycosylation.

The fabrications of circularly polarized luminescent (CPL) material are mainly based on the chemical and physical strategies. Controlled biosynthesis of CPL-active materials is beset with difficulties due to the lack of bioactive luminescent precursors and bio-reactors. Enlighted by microbe-assisted asymmetric biosynthesis, herein, we show the in situ bacterial fermentation of Komagataeibacter sucrofermentants to fabricate a series of bacterial cellulosic biofilms with CPL of green, orange, red, and near-infrared colors.

Caffeine (CAFF) is abundant in black coffee. As one of the most widely consumed beverages globally, coffee has been the focus of increasing clinical and basic research, particularly regarding its benefits in alleviating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, the therapeutic effects of CAFF on metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
