Obesity, a global epidemic linked to around 4 million deaths yearly, arises from lifestyle imbalances impacting inflammation-related conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and gut dysbiosis. But the long-term effects of inflammation caused by lifestyle-related dietary changes remain unexplained. In this study, we used young male C57Bl/6 mice which were fed either an obesogenic diet (OBD) or a control diet (CON) for six months.

Therefore, phage therapy has gained attention as an alternative to the treatment of pseudomonal infections. Phages are not only bactericidal but occasionally show activity against biofilm as well.

Male C57BL/6J mice (2 months old) were assigned to control (CON) or OBD groups for ten months, then randomized into sedentary (Sed) or exercise (Exe) groups for two weeks. Leukocytes, heart function, structure, and spleen tissue examined for inflammation-resolution mediators and macrophage-centric gene transcripts.

Materials And Methods: Rat hepatic microsomal degranulation is a short - term technique that has been used for the detection of potential chemical carcinogens, in vitro. The present study has been carried out to study the inhibition of ribosome- membrane disruption against 3, 8-Diamino-5-ethyl-6-pheylphenanthridinium bromide (EB), as the degranulating agent, by measuring the RNA/protein ratios of microsomal membranes in the presence or absence of V.
