Article Abstract

Background & Aims: Postprandial lipemia has been associated with inflammation, oxidative stress and vascular dysfunction. This metabolic disturbance represents a complex process only partly understood. The purpose of this study was to identify variations in plasma proteome after a high-fat challenge in healthy middle-aged men.

Methods: Two-dimensional electrophoresis was used to compare plasma from seven subjects, drawn before and 4 h after a high-fat challenge.

Results: Among the 231 spots detected and analyzed, 22 were present at different levels in postprandial hyperlipemic plasma compared to preprandial plasma. For 10 of them, corresponding proteins were identified by mass spectrometry. Some of them are related to the hemostatic system (tetranectin and fibrinogen) or the complement system (complement component 3 and 4 and ficollin-3) and have been previously associated to atherothrombosis.

Conclusion: These results provide new perspectives and broaden our understanding of the biological processes of postprandial metabolic stress, as well as its links with the development of atherosclerosis.

Diet and obesity contribute to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, in part via the gut microbiome. To explore the role of gut-derived metabolites in this process, we assessed portal/peripheral blood metabolites in mice with different risks of obesity/diabetes, challenged with a high-fat diet (HFD) + antibiotics. In diabetes/obesity-prone C57BL/6J mice, 111 metabolites were portally enriched and 74 were peripherally enriched, many of which differed in metabolic-syndrome-resistant 129S1/129S6 mice.

Background: Pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) are at high risk for fungal infections including Candida, Aspergillus, and Mucorales necessitating the use of broad-spectrum antifungal agents such as posaconazole for prophylaxis and at times for treatment of invasive fungal infections. When first approved, posaconazole was limited to an immediate release oral suspension, which exhibited unreliable absorption dependent on co-administration with high fat meals. During HSCT, patients commonly have significant nausea, vomiting, and decreased enteral intake making this formulation particularly challenging.

Background: Leptin is a proinflammatory adipokine asthmatic biomarker and macrophage necroptosis are previously reported to be involved in asthmatic airway inflammation. However, whether leptin worsen airway inflammation via mediating macrophage necroptosis remains elusive. We investigated the role of the leptin on regulating macrophage necroptosis in the development of asthma.

Microneedle patch encapsulated with active medication holds significant potential promise in the realm of anti-obesity therapy. Nevertheless, the improvement of actives delivery efficiency remains a significant challenge. In this paper, we present novel separable cryo-microneedles patches delivered with capsaicin integrated mesoporous dopamine (mPDA) for obesity treatment through activating TRPV1 and inducing lipid droplet dissolution.

Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which accounts for more than half of all heart failure cases worldwide, has emerged as a major public health challenge characterized by substantial morbidity and mortality rates. As adropin is a key regulator of cardiovascular and metabolic homeostasis, this study investigated its therapeutic effects against HFpEF pathogenesis.

Methods: C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat diet (60% fat-derived calories) with NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 0.
