The role of the gut microbiota in various metabolic diseases has been widely studied. This study aims to test hypothesis that dysbiosis is associated with DOCA-salt-induced hypertension, while captopril, an antihypertensive drug, able rebalance alterations caused by hypertension. Treatment captopril resulted approximate 32 mmHg reduction systolic blood pressure (162.57 vs. 194.61 mmHg) hypertensive rats, although it was significantly higher than SHAM rats (136.10 mmHg). Moreover, nitric...
The extracellular electron transfer (EET) capability of Methanosarcina spp. in direct interspecies (DIET) has profoundly increased our understanding microbial kinetics and energetics biomethanation systems. In spp., such EET mechanisms occur the cell envelope biofilm matrix. These substances are composed protein-like, polysaccharide-rich biomolecular structures that were previously thought to contribute only support shape; while their participation dynamic processes remains unclear gathered...
The combined effect of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) spherical beads and granular activated carbon (GAC) particles as fluidized media on the performance anaerobic bed membrane bioreactor (AFMBR) was investigated. GAC ABS were together in a single AFMBR to investigate fouling organic removal efficiency well energy consumption. density difference between these two similarly sized caused stratified layer where are above along membrane. Membrane relaxation effective reduce trans-membrane...
Gut microbiota is the key controller of healthy aging. Hypertension and osteoarthritis (OA) are two frequently co-existing age-related pathologies in older adults. Both associated with gut dysbiosis. Hereby, we explore microbiome alteration Deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-induced hypertensive rat model. Captopril, an anti-hypertensive medicine, was chosen to attenuate joint damage. Knee joints were harvested for radiological histological examination; meanwhile, fecal samples collected 16S...
