Background: The plasma lipidome has emerged as an important indicator for assessing host metabolic and immune status in sepsis. While previous studies have largely examined specific lipid class changes in adults sepsis, comprehensive investigations into plasma lipidomic alteratio...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the primary neurodegenerative disease spread worldwide. One of the main histopathological hallmarks of AD is amyloid plaque deposition in the brain. Despite some epidemiological studies demonstrating that cigarette smoke is a factor in predisposing people to AD, nicoti...
This study aimed to investigate fecal metabolomic profiles associated with osteoporosis and serum S-equol levels in community-dwelling older adults from a tropical region of China. Fecal samples were collected from participants classified as osteoporosis or non-osteoporosis based on bone mineral ...
Background: Emerging evidence implicates patent foramen ovale (PFO) as a potential contributor to migraine through paradoxical metabolite shunting, microembolism and hypoxemia. However, systematic characterization of metabolic alterations in migraine patients with PFO (PFO-M) remains un...
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...
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynaecological disorder. A number of studies have confirmed that the occurrence of disease in endometriosis patients is associated with metabolic changes in biological fluids and tissues. We set out to investigate the metabolic charact...
