BACKGROUND: Recent studies highlight the role of metabolites in immune diseases, but it remains unknown how much of this effect is driven by genetic and non-genetic host factors.
RESULT: We systematically investigate circulating metabolites in a cohort of 5...
The reverse transsulfuration pathway is the major route for the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. The role of this metabolic pathway in macrophage response and function is unknown. We show that the enzyme cystathionine γ-lyase (CTH) is induced in macrophages infected with pathogenic ba...
Immune stress in broilers can cause severe economic losses, chlorogenic acid is an effective plant extract for alleviating immune stress. This study investigates the effect of chlorogenic acid on the intestinal microbiota and metabolites of broilers under immune stress. 312 broilers were randomly...
