High-fat foods are decomposed into fatty acids during digestion and absorption, primarily occurring in the gastrointestinal tract, and numerous studies have indicated that long-term high-fat diets significantly increase the incidence of intestinal disorders. As a critical intestinal hormone, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is involved in regulating intestinal peristalsis, secretion, and visceral sensitivity. However, due to the lack of methods capable of reproducing intestinal mechanical activities and in situ monitoring of 5-HT levels, the influence of high-fat diets on intestinal 5-HT release remains unclear.

Background: Obesity, a prevalent global health issue, is associated with testosterone deficiency (TD). A body shape index (ABSI) provides a more precise assessment of obesity and visceral fat, but its relationship with testosterone remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the association between ABSI and testosterone levels leading to TD.

: The therapeutic potential of vegetarian diets in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remains understudied in Asian populations. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of a culturally adapted 6-month lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet (LOV-D) on hepatic steatosis and cardiometabolic risk factors through weight loss. : In this randomized trial, 220 Chinese adults with MASLD were assigned to LOV-D ( = 110) or an omnivore diet ( = 110) for 6 months.

Aim: Patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) often have multiple comorbidities and are vulnerable to minor stressors that frequently result in hospitalization. Recent advances have enabled the easy estimation of body composition in clinical settings. This study retrospectively investigated changes in body composition associated with hospitalization in patients receiving MHD.
