The metabolic pathway of the dopaminagonistic ergoline derivative, proterguride, was studied in vitro in a rat liver perfusion experiment. Metabolites were isolated by preparative HPLC and identified by MS and NMR analyses. In total, seven compounds could be identified. The metabolic steps involved in the biodegradation of proterguride are N-deethylation, N-oxidation, hydroxylation, and/or dehydrogenation and oxidative cleavage of the indole ring.

The growing consumption of processed foods, including meat-based and plant-based burgers (PBM), raises concerns about their long-term health effects. While PBM burgers are marketed as healthier alternatives, their biochemical and histological impacts remain unclear. This study investigates the effects of chronic meat-based and PBM burger consumption on metabolic and organ health, considering sex differences.

Alcoholic hepatic steatosis (AHS) is a common early-stage symptom of liver disease caused by alcohol consumption. Accordingly, several aspects of AHS have been studied as potential preventive and therapeutic targets. In this study, a novel strategy was employed to inhibit fatty liver accumulation and counteract AHS through the consumption of microorganism-fermented larvae (FPBs).

Two different diets able to induce dietary hyperammonaemia (a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet and a methionine-deficient diet enriched with ammonium acetate (MAD + 20% ammonium acetate)) were tested in a rat model. The diets were shown to have different modes of action, inducing significant hyperammonaemia (HA) and growth retardation in the rats, with different metabolic consequences. The MCD diet resulted in the development of endogenous HA, with a decrease in bilirubin levels and an increase in hepatic fat content.
