Abstract
Background The gut microbiota mediates dietary impacts on host metabolism, but the roles of specific amino acids remain elusive. We investigated the mechanism by which dietary leucine restriction combats obesity.
Methods Combining Mendelian randomization in humans with interv...
Calorie restriction (CR) extends lifespan and healthspan in diverse species. However, comparing ad libitum (AL) and CR-fed mice is challenging due to their significantly different feeding patterns. CR-fed mice consume their daily meal in approximately 2 hours, subjecting themselves to a prol...
The influence of amino acid restriction on obesity may be related to the gut microbiome, but the role and mechanism of lysine restriction (LR) on pediatric obesity is largely undefined. Here, we found plasma lysine levels were significantly higher in obese patients than healthy controls of childr...
Caloric restriction (CR) delays aging-related hallmarks in various organisms by slowing growth and development while enhancing metabolic homeostasis. However, desirable diets that harness the metabolic benefits of CR without imposing food intake restrictions remain elusive. Here we evaluated the ...
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with increased relative liver weight at birth, hepatic function decline and a higher risk for chronic liver and cardiovascular diseases in adults. Precise mechanisms of early developmental plasticity to intervene in poor fetal programming and a...
