In this study, we investigated the effect of diet supplementation with sodium butyrate (5% w/w), a short-chain fatty acid produced by intestinal microbiota, on metabolic parameters, body adiposity, hepatic and pancreatic lipid accumulation, beta cell function/mass as well structure function tight junction-mediated epithelial barrier in both normal obese/prediabetic C57 mice fed regular (control) or high-fat for 60 days, respectively. Butyrate treatment significantly inhibited all...

Abstract Background The continuous proliferation of intestinal stem cells followed by their tightly regulated differentiation to epithelial is essential for the maintenance gut barrier and its functions. How these processes are tuned diet microbiome an important, but poorly understood question. Dietary soluble fibers, such as inulin, known ability impact bacterial community epithelium, consumption has been usually associated with health improvement in mice humans. In this study, we tested...

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is a well-established method for improving tissue oxygenation and typically used the treatment of various inflammatory conditions, including infectious diseases. However, its effect on intestinal mucosa, microenvironment known to be physiologically hypoxic, remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated that daily with hyperbaric affects gut microbiome composition, worsening antibiotic-induced dysbiosis. Accordingly, HBO-treated mice were more susceptible...

Hypothalamic interleukin-6 (IL6) exerts a broad metabolic control. Here, we demonstrated that IL6 activates the ERK1/2 pathway in ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), stimulating AMPK/ACC signaling and fatty acid oxidation mouse skeletal muscle. Bioinformatics analysis revealed hypothalamic IL6/ERK1/2 axis is closely associated with oxidation– mitochondrial-related genes muscle of isogenic BXD strains humans. We showed requires α2-adrenergic to modify metabolism. To address physiological...

Aim:The aim of this work was to evaluate the sensitivity Pacu fingerlings (Piaractus mesopotamicus) by measuring effects median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) atrazine (ATZ -28.58 mg/L) after acute exposure (up 96 h). Materials and Methods:The fish were exposed LC ATZ for h (28.58 in a static system.During experiment, randomly distributed four glass tanks (50 L) containing dechlorinated water.Four control group, ATZ-exposed group (n=4 per tank), given total number 16 animals tested group.The...

Abstract Leiarius marmoratus , a freshwater catfish from Pimelodidae family, shows great biological and commercial relevance because of its geographic distribution adaptation to fish‐farm. The knowledge the morphological characteristics digestive tract is fundamental understanding fish physiology nutrition, which helps in planning diets provide better management success farming. Thus, this work described morphology histochemistry L. adults. After euthanasia, animals were dissected for...

Abstract Wnt proteins act mainly as paracrine signals regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. The canonical pathway has recently been associated with pancreas development the onset of type 2 diabetes in rodent human but underlying mechanisms are still unclear. aim this work was threefold: (a) to screen for expressed by murine pancreas/islet cells, (b) investigate whether gene expression profile can be changed hyperplastic islets from prediabetic mice (fed a high‐fat diet), (c)...

Clinical and experimental data indicate that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2 infection is associated with significant changes in the composition function of intestinal microbiota. However, relevance these effects for SARS-CoV-2 pathophysiology unknown. In this study, we analyzed impact microbiota depletion after antibiotic treatment on clinical immunological responses K18-hACE2 mice to infection. Mice were treated a combination antibiotics (kanamycin, gentamicin,...

Background: Tissue/cellular action of butyrate on energy metabolism and intestinal barrier at normal metabolic conditions or the prediabetes are still unclear. In this work, we investigated beneficial effect dietary supplementation with sodium metabolism, body mass composition, epithelial mediated by tight junction (TJ) in chow diet-fed high-fat diet (HF)-fed prediabetic mice, considering well-known as an epigenetic inflammatory regulator.Methods/Results: Butyrate reduced fat/lean ratio,...
