Gut microbiota can modulate nutrient metabolism, considerably affecting host growth and development. However, mechanisms by which gut microbiota regulate large yellow croaker (LYC; Larimichthys crocea) growth remain unclear. We assessed gut contents of fast-growing male (IWHM) and female (IWHF) L...
Hepatic steatosis is the initial manifestation of abnormal liver functions and often leads to liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in humans and fatty liver syndrome in animals. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of a large chicken population consisting of 70...
Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a significant and challenging condition in the digestive system, necessitating the development of effective therapeutic interventions. The Daifu decoction (DFD) is derived from the Lizhong decoction, a classic traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula used ...
PURPOSE: To explore molecular mechanisms affecting nutritional risk and neurodevelopment in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) by combining transcriptome and metabolome analysis.
METHODS: A total of 26 blood and serum samples from 3 groups of chil...
In China, Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) infestations severely threaten poplar resources, the primary species used for shelterbelt afforestation. Two fast-growing poplar hybrids, Populus alba × (P. alba × P. glandulosa) ...
The core objective of this study is to clarify the promoting effect of oral ingestion of microplastics on gastric epithelial cell carcinogenesis, systematically decipher the underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms, focus on investigating the key molecular targets involved in oxidative stress i...
BACKGROUND: Reptiles exhibit a wide variety of skin colors, which serve essential roles in survival and reproduction. However, the molecular basis of these conspicuous colors remains unresolved.
RESULTS: We investigate color morph-enriched Asian vine snakes...
