Role of hepatocyte-specific FOXO1 in hepatic glucolipid metabolic disorders induced by perfluorooctane sulfonate.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a prevalent perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is widely present in various environmental media, animals, and even human bodies. It primarily accumulates in the liver, contributing to the disruption of hepatic metabolic homeostasis. However, the precise mechanism underlying PFOS-induced hepatic glucolipid metabolic disorders remains elusive.

[Study on drug resistance and molecular typing of food-borne Staphylococcus aureus in Ningxia, 2011-2022].

Objective: To investigate the molecular typing characteristics, drug resistance status and drug resistance gene carrying of food-borne Staphylococcus aureus in Ningxia.

Methods: Staphylococcus aureus isolated from food safety risk monitoring project in Ningxia in the past ten years were collected, drug resistance was detected using microbroth dilution method, enterotoxins were detected by real-time PCR.

Aristolochic acid-induced dyslipidemia and hepatotoxicity: The potential role of FXR and AHR receptors.

Aristolochic acids (AAs) represent a class of nitrophenanthrene carboxylic acids naturally existing or accidentally mixed in herbal medicines or crops, which have long been recognized for causing nephropathy. Recently, the linkage between AAs and liver injury has become a concern; however, the current understanding of the mechanism or mode of action (MOA) is limited. In the present study, we investigated nuclear receptor-mediated MOA associated with AAs-induced liver injury including dyslipidemia and hepatotoxicity.
