Crystalline preparations of acid-soluble collagen of rat skin in norm and with tryptophan load against a background of the protein-free diet were fractionated by differential salting out using NaCl in concentrations corresponding to precipitation zones of collagen 1,3 and 4. Amino acid composition, electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide gel, profiles of elution from CM-cellulose, content of the carbohydrate component and--S--S-bonds were studied in proteins of the mentioned fractions and in the precipitate insoluble after the pepsin action. Essential differences as compared to the normal level in the amino acid composition and elution profiles were detected in the fraction corresponding to collagen I. Quantitative changes in the carbohydrate component and--S--S-bonds occur due to the fraction inaccessible to the persin action.

Dose-related effects of calcium to enhance the effects of L-tryptophan on gut hormones and energy intake in obesity.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Adelaide Medical School, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia.
Context: In males of normal weight, intraduodenal administration of calcium enhances the effects of the amino acid, L-tryptophan (Trp), to suppress energy intake, associated with greater stimulation of cholecystokinin (CCK), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY) secretion (key mechanisms underlying the regulation of pyloric motility and gastric emptying), but not gastrin or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP).
Objective: Given the implications for the management of obesity, the current study evaluated the effects of calcium, when administered alone and in combination with Trp, on gut hormone secretion, antropyloroduodenal motility and energy intake in males with obesity.
Methods: Fifteen males with obesity and without type 2 diabetes (mean±SD; age: 27±8 years; body mass index: 30±2 kg/m2; HbA1c: 5.
Metabolomics analyses and physical interventions in soccer: a systematic review.
Metabolomics

Research Group on Technology Applied to Exercise Physiology-GTAFE, Health Sciences Postgraduate Program, São Francisco University, São Francisco de Assis av, 218, Taboão, Bragança Paulista, SP, 12916900, Brazil.
Background: Soccer is the most recognized sports worldwide. It is a fertile ground for the use of metabolomics analyses, considering the multifactorial nature of soccer's physical demands on the body. Although scientific studies have tried using it to better understand the impacts of soccer into different contexts of the sport, no systematic review is available on metabolomics analyses in soccer athletes subjected to physical exertion interventions.

Introduction: This study employs bulk RNA sequencing, PCR, and ELISA assays to analyze the pathological factors affecting the outcomes of ocular infections in koalas. It investigates the immune responses and gene expression profiles associated with various stages of koala ocular chlamydiosis.
Methods: A cohort of 114 koalas from Queensland, Australia were assessed, with 47% displaying clinical signs of ocular disease.
Microviridae bacteriophages influence behavioural hallmarks of food addiction via tryptophan and tyrosine signalling pathways.
Nat Metab

Department of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Nutrition, Dr Josep Trueta University Hospital, Girona, Spain.
Food addiction contributes to the obesity pandemic, but the connection between how the gut microbiome is linked to food addiction remains largely unclear. Here we show that Microviridae bacteriophages, particularly Gokushovirus WZ-2015a, are associated with food addiction and obesity across multiple human cohorts. Further analyses reveal that food addiction and Gokushovirus are linked to serotonin and dopamine metabolism.

- Aging significantly impacts the severity and recovery from acute viral pneumonia, particularly in the context of COVID-19 as studied in hamsters.
- Researchers utilized advanced metagenomics and metabolomics to explore the gut microbiota changes in young and aged hamsters, finding distinct age-related differences in gut health that correlate with disease outcomes.
- The study highlights specific metabolites and bacterial changes linked to disease severity in older hamsters, suggesting that targeted microbiome interventions could improve management of pneumonia in elderly patients.
