Introduction: The gut microbiota and its metabolites are implicated in atherosclerosis, but the specific effector molecules and their pathophysiological significance remain unclear.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify key atheroprotective microbial metabolites and to elucidate the mech...
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a leading cause of infectious diarrhea and poses a threat to infant health. Current treatments for ETEC infection primarily rely on antibiotics,which face limitations due to resistance and side effect. In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed fecal met...
Ambient temperature profoundly influences organismal metabolism, physiology, and disease. While cold exposure is a well-recognized risk factor for the onset of myocardial infarction (MI), its impact on the injured heart after MI remains unexplored. Here,&nb...
Understanding the formation mechanism of the flavor compounds in stinky tofu brine is crucial for controlling the flavor quality of Changsha stinky tofu. Dynamic changes in associated bacteria, enzymes, and differential metabolites in the metabolic pathway of aromatic amino acids in brine were in...
The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). β-glucan (BG), a soluble dietary fiber widely present in oats, barley, fungi, yeast and some bacteria, has multiple bioactive properties such as mitigating intestinal inflammation; however, t...
