Background: Equally with other indigenous green leafy vegetables, Solunum nigrum L. has been widely consumed by the VhaVenda tribe found in the Limpopo Province of South Africa since ancient times as a source of food diversification due to its higher...

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a prevalent liver disorder with significant metabolic implications. Metabolic age, determined through bioimpedance analysis, has emerged as a potential indicator of overa...

Background: Insulin resistance is a key driver of metabolic syndrome and related disorders, yet its underlying metabolic alterations remain incompletely understood. The Triglyceride–Glucose (TyG) index is an emerging, accessible marker for insu...

Objective: The aim of this work is to investigate the impact of exercise on gut microbiome composition, serum metabolites, and their correlation with osteoarthritis (OA) severity. Methods: Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided int...

Background/Objectives: The current staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) relies on conventional imaging, which lacks the sensitivity to detect micrometastatic disease. The functional assessment of NSCLC progression may provide independent inf...

Background: Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal. There are very few studies about the effects of Cd on reproductive health and metabolism, and even fewer on metabolic disorders in the uterus of mice in labor. This study is the first to establi...

Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the differences in odor, color, and taste characteristics between raw and bran-fried Acori tatarinowii Rhizoma (RATR and BATR) using advanced sensory evaluation technologies. The objective was to establish a...

Background/Objectives: Clavulanic acid (CA) is produced by cell suspension cultures of Streptomyces clavuligerus ATCC 27064, and is widely used as a beta-lactamase inhibitor to combat antibiotic resistance. CA titers are moderate due to bioprocess co...

Background/Objectives: Hyperuricemia (HUA) has become the second largest metabolic disease after diabetes, and has become a major public health problem. The ELITEA compound tea extract can effectively reduce the serum uric acid level in HUA rat model...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood-onset neurodevelopmental disorder that often persists into adulthood, leading to various adverse outcomes. Its underlying pathology is multifactorial, involving neurotransmitter im...
