MetabolomicsGlobal Analyses of Selective Insulin Resistance in Hepatocytes due to Palmitate Lipotoxicity
Obesity is tightly linked to hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance. One feature of this association is the paradox of selective insulin resistance: insulin fails to suppress hepatic gluconeogenesis but activates lipid synthesis in the liver. How lipid accumulation interferes selectively with some...

MetabolomicsUntargeted 1 H NMR-based metabolomics unveils distinct circulating biochemical signatures between treatment-resistant and non-treatment-resistant Schizophrenia patients: a pilot study

Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder impacting roughly 1% of individuals. The effectiveness of antipsychotic therapy greatly varies, with around 30% of patients categorised as treatment-resistant (TRS). TRS is characterised by a lack of response to at least two clinical trials invo...

MetabolomicsParabacteroides distasonis ameliorates insulin resistance via activation of intestinal GPR109a
Gut microbiota plays a key role in insulin resistance (IR). Here we perform a case-control study of Chinese adults (ChiCTR2200065715) and identify that Parabacteroides distasonis is inversely correlated with IR. Treatment with P. distasonis improves IR, strengthens intestinal integrity, and reduces ...

MetabolomicsMetabolomics analysis identifies metabolites associated with systemic acquired resistance in Arabidopsis

BACKGROUND: Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a plant defense response that provides long-lasting, broad-spectrum pathogen resistance to uninfected distal leaves following an initial localized infection. However, little information is available on the molecular biological bas...

MetabolomicsOsh2 mediates Candida resistance to miltefosine by regulating zymosterol transport
Miltefosine has been identified for its antifungal properties, yet the mechanisms underlying its action and the development of resistance remain unclear. In this study, we induced drug resistance in various Candida species through concentration gradient exposure, successfully obtaining a miltefosine...

MetabolomicsGC-MS based targeted metabolic profiling identifies changes in the wheat metabolome following deoxynivalenol treatment
Fusarium graminearum and related species commonly infest grains causing the devastating plant disease Fusarium head blight (FHB) and the formation of trichothecene mycotoxins. The most relevant toxin is deoxynivalenol (DON), which acts as a virulence factor of the pathogen. FHB is difficult to contr...

MetabolomicsDysregulation of Streptococcus pneumoniae zinc homeostasis breaks ampicillin resistance in a pneumonia infection model

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the primary cause of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia with rates of penicillin and multi-drug resistance exceeding 80% and 40%, respectively. The innate immune response generates a variety of antimicrobial agents to control infection including zinc stres...

MetabolomicsA statistical analysis of the effects of urease pre-treatment on the measurement of the urinary metabolome by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry
Urease pre-treatment of urine has been utilized since the early 1960s to remove high levels of urea from samples prior to further processing and analysis by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Aside from the obvious depletion or elimination of urea, the effect, if any, of urease pre-treatm...

MetabolomicsPlant elicitor peptide signalling confers rice resistance to piercing-sucking insect herbivores and pathogens
Rice is a staple food crop worldwide, and its production is severely threatened by phloem-feeding insect herbivores, particularly the brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens), and destructive pathogens. Despite the identification of many BPH resistance genes, the molecular basis of rice resistanc...

MetabolomicsCell Membrane Remodeling Mediates Polymyxin B Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae: An Integrated Proteomics and Metabolomics Study
Polymyxin B (PB) is introduced into the clinic as the last-line therapy against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). Unfortunately, increased resistance to PB in Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) has threatened global health. Resistance of K. pneumoniae ...
