StarD5 levels of expression correlate with onset and progression of steatosis and liver fibrosis
CONCLUSIONS: StarD5's downregulation with hepatic lipid excess is a previously unappreciated physiologic function appearing to promote lipid storage for future needs. Conversely, StarD5's lingering downregulation with prolonged lipid/cholesterol excess accelerates fatty liver's transition to fibrosis; mediated via dysregulation in the oxysterol signaling pathway.PMID:38591148 | DOI:10.1152/ajpgi.00024.2024 (Source: American Journal of Physiology.

Oral tryptophan activates duodenal aryl hydrocarbon receptor in healthy subjects: a crossover randomized controlled trial
Conclusions: At the doses used in this study, oral tryptophan supplementation in humans induces microbial indole and host kynurenine metabolic pathways in the small intestine, known to be immunomodulatory. The results should prompt tryptophan intervention strategies in inflammatory conditions of the small intestine where the AhR pathway is impaired.PMID:38591144 | DOI:10.1152/ajpgi.00306.2023 (Source: American Journal of Physiology.

Milk and < em > Lacticaseibacillus casei < /em > BL23 effects on intestinal responses in a murine model of colitis
Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.1152/ajpgi.00259.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProbiotic-containing fermented dairy foods have the potential to benefit human health, but the importance of the dairy matrix for efficacy remains unclear. We investigated the capacity of Lacticaseibacillus casei BL23 in phosphate-buffered saline (BL23-PBS), BL23-fermented milk (BL23-milk), and milk to modify intestinal and behavioral responses in a Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS, 3% w/v) mouse model of colitis. Significant sex-dependent differences were found such that female mice exhibited more severe colitis, g...

High-Energy Pacing Inhibits Slow Wave Dysrhythmias in the Small Intestine
This study assessed the use of pacing to suppress glucagon-induced slow wave dysrhythmias in the small intestine. Slow waves in the jejunum were mapped in vivo using a high-resolution surface-contact electrode array in pigs (n=7). Glucagon was intravenously administered to induce hyperglycemia. Slow wave propagation patterns were categorized into antegrade, retrograde, collision, pacemaker and uncoupled activity. Slow wave characteristics such as period, amplitude and speed were also quantified. Post-glucagon infusion, pacing was applied at 4 mA and 8 mA and the resulting slow waves were quantified spatiotemporally. Antegr...

The Relationship of Open- and Closed-Kinetic-Chain Rate of Force Development With Jump Performance Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
CONCLUSIONS: While both OKC and CKC RFD were strongly related to jump performance and knee-joint power, OKC RFD was able to detect between-limbs RFD asymmetries and was strongly related to knee-joint kinematics. These findings indicate that isometric knee extension may be optimal for assessing RFD after ACL reconstruction.PMID:38594016 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0361 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Chronic intermittent hypoxia elicits distinct transcriptomic responses among neurons and oligodendrocytes within the brainstem of mice
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.1152/ajplung.00320.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is a prevalent condition characterized by recurrent episodes of oxygen deprivation, linked to respiratory and neurological disorders. Prolonged CIH is known to have adverse effects, including endothelial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and impaired neuronal function. These factors can contribute to serious comorbidities, including metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases. To investigate the molecular impact of CIH, we examined male C57BL/6J mice expose...

Evaluation of different media compositions promoting hepatocyte differentiation in the canine liver organoid model
Heliyon. 2024 Mar 25;10(7):e28420. doi: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28420. eCollection 2024 Apr 15.ABSTRACTOrganoids are 3-dimensional (3D) self-assembled structures capable of replicating the microanatomy and physiology of the epithelial components of their organ of origin. Adult stem cell (ASC) derived organoids from the liver have previously been shown to differentiate into primarily mature cholangiocytes, and their partial differentiation into functional hepatocytes can be promoted using specific media compositions. While full morphological differentiation of mature hepatocytes from ASCs has not yet been reported for any s...
