Open AccessOrally administered Odoribacter laneus improves glucose control and inflammatory profile in obese mice by depleting circulating succinate
Succinate is produced by both human cells and by gut bacteria and couples metabolism to inflammation as an extracellular signaling transducer. Circulating succinate is elevated in patients with obesity and typ...

Calprotectin as a Biological Indicator in Nutrition
The inflammatory myeloid-related protein complex calprotectin, also known as MRP8/14, is a heterodimer comprised of two intracellular calcium-binding proteins, S100A8 (MRP8) and S100A9 (MRP14), predominantly e...

Open AccessRegulation of adipogenic differentiation and adipose tissue inflammation by interferon regulatory factor 3
Dysfunction of adipocytes and adipose tissue is a primary defect in obesity and obesity-associated metabolic diseases. Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) has been implicated in adipogenesis. However, the ro...

Open AccessBMP8 and activated brown adipose tissue in human newborns
The classical dogma states that brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a major role in the regulation of temperature in neonates. However, although BAT has been studied in infants for more than a century, the knowle...

Factors associated with prolonged hospital stay after laparoscopic adrenalectomy
Laparoscopy is the standard technique for resecting adrenal tumors, but short-term outcomes such as length of stay (LOS) vary widely between centers. We aimed to identify factors associated with LOS after late...

Open AccessGut microbiota steroid sexual dimorphism and its impact on gonadal steroids: influences of obesity and menopausal status
Gonadal steroid hormones have been suggested as the underlying mechanism responsible for the sexual dimorphism observed in metabolic diseases. Animal studies have also evidenced a causal role of the gut microb...

Open AccessGut bacterial ClpB-like gene function is associated with decreased body weight and a characteristic microbiota profile
The chaperone ClpB, a bacterial protein, is a conformational antigen-mimetic of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) implicated in body weight regulation in mice. We here investigated the potential associa...
