OVX-sepsis group showed marked thrombosis in portal vein branches and the central vein, degeneration in the bile ducts, and widespread ischemic areas in liver sections. Intra-inflammatory cell invasion was observed in both the portal and intrasinusoidal areas. This study indicates that increases in ...
Early- and late-stage type 2 diabetes can now be reframed as two distinct conditions based on the extent of beta cell function and warrant two distinct approaches to care. Until the advanced stages of hyperglycemia, the first mandate is to attempt to resume euglycemia if the beta cells can ...

longum, show the ability to produce it, which additionally increases their probiotic value [43, 44]. Therefore, we decided to check whether the selected strains produce this enzyme, and if so, whether its production is influenced by the external environment. The comparison of the two selected ...
Fasting increases the expression of CYP7A1 and CYP8B1 genes, while feeding suppresses their expression [19]. This has an impact on the size and composition of the bile acid pool through downstream signaling pathways and ligand proteins, subsequently affecting glucose and lipid metabolism [8]. The...
On the contrary, inoculation of the infant with maternal vaginal microbes has limited efficacy: Two studies have shown that while swabbing the infant with vaginal microbes increases the relative abundance of lactobacilli, it fails to restore Bacteroides and other fecal bacteria [47, 48]. In a re...
