Eosinophils are the predominant immune cells implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma, highlighting the need for strategies to mitigate their effects. While previous studies have indicated a potential relationship between lysosomes and eosinophils, the precise role of lysosomes in eosinophil acti...
BACKGROUND: Large-scale, placebo-controlled trials established that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs confer a cardiovascular hazard: this has been attributed to depression of cardioprotective products of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, especially prostacyclin. An alternative mechanis...
(Background)To investigate the impact of L-arginine (L-Arg) and L-citrulline (L-Cit) on cow reproductive performance.(Methods) 90 healthy, age-matched Simmental cows were randomly assigned to three groups: control, L-Arg, and L-Cit, with 30 cows per group. Estrus synchronization was performed, an...
We screened a series of metabolites and found that L-Arg strongly inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome assembly in vitro. Mechanistically, L-Arg directly binds the D31 site of NLRP3, blocking NLRP3-ASC interaction and subsequent inflammasome assembly. This discovery establishes NLRP3 as a direct sensor fo...
This study investigated age-associated changes in the gut-muscle axis and their potential contribution to meat quality in Tan sheep (Ovis aries). Twelve Tan sheep were divided into two age groups, including six 3-month-old animals (T3) and six 6-month-old animals (T6). Untargeted LC-MS metabolomi...
