Application of mass spectrometry enables the detection of metabolic differences between organisms with different nutritional settings. Divergence in the metabolic fingerprints of rat pancreatic INS-1 β-cells were systematically captured with regard to 10 individual essential amino acid (EAA) avai...
The mechanisms by which macrophage metabolism is regulated and the effects of metabolism on diseases remain largely unknown. We show here that TGF-β regulates the glycolysis of macrophages independently of inflammatory cytokine production, and thus affects the survival in experimental sepsis. Spe...
Background: Hyperlipidemia is a well-established systemic metabolic disorder and a significant risk factor for periodontitis, a localized inflammatory condition; however, the precise mechanisms underpinning this comorbidity remain uncharacterized. Emerging evidence implicates the gut microbiota ...
