Cells use glycolytic intermediates for anabolism e.g., via the serine synthesis and pentose phosphate pathways. However, we still understand poorly how these metabolic pathways contribute to skeletal muscle cell biomass generation. The first aim of this study was therefore to identify enzymes tha...
BACKGROUND: Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is characterized by hyperalgesia and neuronal hyperexcitability. Although gut microbiota dysbiosis have been found in PDN, how microbiota influences PDN remains largely unexplored. RESULTS: Gut microbiota and its metabolites impacted PDN was investiga...
Glibenclamide (GLIB), a type 2 diabetes therapy, has long-term safety concerns. Probiotic–drug coadministration, an emerging adjunctive approach for metabolic diseases, improves therapeutic outcomes and side effects. Here, Bifidobacterium animalis B960 was selected from 71 probiotic strains by HP...
Background Prediabetes, a global health concern characterized by insulin resistance (IR) and closely linked to obesity, was investigated in this study to identify key gut microbiota characteristics. The development of insulin resistance is associated with gut microbiota. Therefore, identifying ke...
