Background: The lifetime prevalence of acute urticaria is approximately 20%. Although electroacupuncture (EA) has been investigated as an adjunctive treatment for urticaria, the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects remain elusive. Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) serves as an experime...
Gut-resident bacteria must withstand membrane-disrupting stresses such as bile acids to persist in the intestinal environment. The Bacteroidota are a dominant phylum of the human gut microbiota. However, the genes responsible for synthesis of membrane lipids in this phylum remain relatively uncha...
Using untargeted metabolomics, we aimed to characterise the systemic impact of environmental heat stress during exercise. Twenty-three trained male triathletes completed a 30-min exercise test in hot (35°C) and temperate (21°C) conditions. Venous blood samples were collected immediately pre- and ...
