Background: The enzymatic activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has been a focal point in neurodegenerative diseases research, particularly in relation to Alzheimer’s disease. This is attributed to the significantly reduced levels of choliner...

Background/aim: A growing body of evidence suggests a link between dyslipidemias and neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting the crucial role of lipid metabolism in the health of the central nervous system. The aim of our work was to provide an upda...

Background: This study aims to develop a fingerprint analysis method using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) for Moutan Cortex sourced from different regions. The objective is to establish quality control standards validated through...

Background: Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) is a glycoprotein synthesized mainly by the liver. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis (LF) are associated with metabolic disorders. The aim of this study was to examine the potentia...

Background/Objectives: Metabolite risk score (MRS), which considers the collective effects of metabolites closely reflecting a phenotype, is a new approach for disease assessment, moving away from focusing solely on individual biomarkers. This study...

Background/Objectives: Our study aimed to verify the effects of 6 weeks of concurrent training composed of resistance training (RT) and different modalities of aerobic exercise (moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) or high-intensity interval...

Background/Objectives: Cancer cells often display altered energy metabolism. In particular, expression levels and activity of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) enzymes may change in cancer, and dysregulation of the TCA cycle is a frequent hall...

As global climates shift, plants are increasingly exposed to biotic and abiotic stresses that adversely affect their growth and development, ultimately reducing agricultural productivity. To counter these stresses, plants produce secondary metabolite...

(1) Background: The lack of reliable biomarkers remains a significant barrier to improving outcomes for patients with schizophrenia. While metabolomic analyses of blood, urine, and feces have been explored, results have been inconsistent. Compared to...

Background: The presence and concentration of lipids in serum of dairy cows have significant implications for both animal health and productivity and are potential biomarkers for several common diseases. However, information on serum lipid compositio...
