Intermittent fasting (IF) and exercise can reverse the impaired glycolipid conversion ability caused by obesity. However, the effects of IF and exercise combination on glycolipid conversion ability in normal individuals remain to be determined. In this study, male KM mice were subjected to IF (including alternate-day fasting (ADF), time-restricted fasting (TRF)), treadmill exercise, and a combination of the two interventions for 6 weeks. The effects of two IF models combined exercise on glycolipid conversion in mice were investigated by detecting serum biochemical indexes, and the expressions of genes and proteins closely related to the glycolipid conversion pathway in liver, gastrocnemius, and inguinal adipose tissue. The results showed that IF combined with exercise significantly reduced fasting blood glucose, glycated serum protein and liver glycogen levels in mice. TRF combined with exercise significantly decreased triglyceride levels in serum, liver and gastrocnemius. IF combined with exercise activated the ChREBP or SREBP1/FASN pathways to enhance the transcriptional activation of the glucose-mediated adipogenesis pathway, and simultaneously promoted the expression of fatty acid oxidation proteins and reduced liver gluconeogenesis genes expression, collectively improving lipid metabolic efficiency. Furthermore, IF increased the expression of glycogen turnover-related protein PPP1R3C and adipose thermogenesis-related protein UCP1 in the inguinal adipose tissue, indicating enhanced glycogen flux coordination with adipose thermogenic activation. In conclusion, IF combined with exercise orchestrates the glycolipid conversion and substrate utilization.

Aim: Intermittent fasting or exercise could be used as an adjunct to regulating abnormal glucose metabolism. However, the mechanism of action of intermittent fasting and exercise to regulate normal glucose metabolism is still unclear. We want to investigate the regulatory effect and mechanism of action of intermittent fasting combined with exercise on glucose metabolism in normal mice.

Several neuropathies, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome and myelin-associated glycoprotein neuropathy (MAG), are caused by antibodies targeting glycosphingolipids. Several studies have indicated that MAG arises from pathogenic IgM autoantibodies targeting sulfoglucuronyl (HNK-1)-containing glycosphingolipids. The exact mechanism by which IgM neuropathy occurs has not been fully elucidated.

Introduction: Tropical regions are characterized by high temperatures and abundant rainfall, which facilitate rapid carbon mineralization. However, research on soil organic carbon conversion efficiency (Esoc) in these areas is currently constrained by a lack of robust data support.
Methods: This study used nylon - bags with typical tropical organic materials (pineapple leaf (PAL), banana stems (BAS), coconut husk (CCH), and organic fertilizer (OF)) to explore how mixing straw with latosol impacts soil organic carbon conversion efficiency (Esoc) and products, and to understand the relationships among Esoc, material composition (glycolipid, hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin), and enzyme activity.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignant tumor in males. Antimony (Sb) is a widespread industrial heavy metal pollutant listed as a Class IIB carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Previous work found that antimony exposure can promote the proliferation of prostate cancer cells, but the relevant molecular mechanisms have not been fully explored.
