Sex is a fundamental biological variable important in biomedical research, drug development, clinical trials, and prevention approaches. Among many organs, kidneys are known to exhibit remarkable structural, histological, and pathological differences between sexes. However, whether and how kidney...
The gut microbiota is increasingly recognized as an important mediator of the systemic effects of dietary polysaccharides, but how microbiota remodeling is associated with host metabolic responses remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated hepatic metabolic remodeling associated with the im...
Flavivirus infection is tightly connected to host lipid metabolism. Here, we performed shotgun lipidomics of cells infected with neurotropic Zika, West Nile and tick-borne encephalitis viruses, as well as dengue and yellow fever virus. Early in infection specific lipids accumulated, e.g., neutral...
Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) was conducted using a Vanquish UHPLC system (Thermo Fisher), coupled with a Q Exactive™ HF/Q Exactive™ HF-X mass spectrometer for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. To ensure...
