Effects of Bile Acid Modulation by Dietary Fat, Cholecystectomy, and Bile Acid Sequestrant on Energy, Glucose, and Lipid Metabolism and Gut Microbiota in Mice.

Bile acid metabolism, involved with the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the gut, is linked to the gut microbiota community, greatly impacting the host’s metabolism. We examined the hypothesis that the modulation of bile acid metabolism by dietary fat contents, gallbladder removal (GBX; cholecystectomy), and bile acid sequestrant (BAS; cholestyramine) treatment could alter energy, glucose, and lipid metabolism through the changes in the gut microbiota. Mice were randomly assigned to the following six groups: (1) Sham GBX surgery (Sham) + low fat/high carbohydrate diet (LFD), (2) Sham + high fat diet (HFD), (3) Sham + HFD + BAS, (4) GBX + LFD, (5) GBX + HFD, and (6) GBX + HFD + BAS.

A Causal Relationship between Vitamin C Intake with Hyperglycemia and Metabolic Syndrome Risk: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study.

Excessive oxidative stress can contribute to metabolic syndrome (MetS), and antioxidants can protect against its development. Vitamin C (VC) is a well-known antioxidant, and observational studies have associated a deficiency with an increased MetS risk. This study tested the hypothesis that dietary VC intake caused an inverse relation of MetS and its components risk using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method in adults ≥40 years in a city hospital-based (n = 58,701) and Ansan/Ansung plus rural (n = 13,598) cohorts.

Electrically Modulated Near-Infrared/Visible Light Dual-Mode Perovskite Photodetectors.
