Aberrations in gut microbiota are associated with metabolic disorders, including obesity.
However, whether shifts in the microbiota profile during obesity are a characteristic of the …

Iron is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. Under low iron conditions,
Arabidopsis plants take up soil iron using the root iron transporter IRT1. In addition to iron, …

Current fructose consumption levels often overwhelm the intestinal capacity to absorb fructose.
We investigated the impact of fructose malabsorption on intestinal endocrine function and …

Uranium (U) is a non-essential and toxic element that is taken up by plants from the
environment. The assimilation pathway of U is still unknown in plants. In this study, we provide …

Uranium (U) is a naturally-occurring radionuclide that is toxic to living organisms. Given that
proteins are primary targets of U(VI), their identification is an essential step towards …

Sanguina nivaloides is the main alga forming red snowfields in high mountains and Polar
Regions. It is non-cultivable. Analysis of environmental samples by X-ray tomography, focused-…

Background Early hyperphagia and hypothalamic inflammation encountered after Western
diet (WD) are linked to rodent propensity to obesity. Inflammation in several brain structures …

Methods: Outbred Sprague–Dawley rats were maintained on chow or HF diet for 12 weeks.
Gene and protein expression of intestinal bHLH transcription factors, combined with …

Scope Food structure is a key factor controlling digestion and nutrient absorption. We test
the hypothesis that protein emulsion structure in the diet may affect digestive and absorptive …

Uranium (U) contamination of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems poses a significant threat
to the environment and human health due to the chemotoxicity of this actinide. The …
