While the risk factors for Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are known, early predictive markers of transition from normal to a prediabetes state are unidentified. We studied the basal metabolism and metabolic response to a mixed-meal challenge in 110 healthy subjects in the age group of 18 to 40 years (Mal...
BACKGROUND: The gut-brain axis and the intestinal microbiota are emerging as key players in health and disease. Shifts in intestinal microbiota composition affect a variety of systems, however, evidence of their direct impact on cognitive functions is still lacking. We tested whe...
Regular consumption of fat and refined carbohydrates induces metabolic stress, increasing chronic metabolic disease risk. In healthy volunteers, we characterised the response to a high-fat/high-carbohydrate meal (HFHCM), typical of an ultra-processed food, by proteomic and metabolomics analyses, ...
(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...
