SCFAs play a dual role both as substrates for metabolism and as signaling molecules
SCFAs can be either directly converted (acetate) or oxidized (propionate and butyrate) to acetyl-Co
Here we demonstrate that microbial colonization regulates global histone acetylation and methylation in multiple host tissues in a diet-dependent manner
ADT therapy with abiraterone inhibits androgen production from both testicular and adrenal origins. This study finds that a decrease in androgen production through ADT did not always equal a decrease in PSA, indicating other mechanisms of prostate cancer profession.
In rat model, Pb reduced NO and contributed to ED. Of interest, arginine masked the effects of Pb on NO synthase and vitamin C reversed it all together.
DF are highly complex substances that can be described as any nondigestible carbohydrates and lignins not degraded in the
upper gut
Commonly, DF are classified according to their solubility in water, even though grading according to viscosity, gel-forming
capabilities, or fermentation rate by the gut microbiota might be physiologically more relevant
Main sources of soluble
DF are fruits and vegetables
n increased intake of total DF was inversely associated with markers of insulin resistance in several studies
consumption of insoluble DF increased whole
body glucose disposal independent of changes in body weight in both short-term and more prolonged studies
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate are produced by bacterial fermentation of indigestible
DF polysaccharides in the colon
increased production of SCFA is assumed to be beneficial by reducing hepatic glucose output and improving lipid
homeostasis
a high DF diet (oligofructose) reduced gram-negative bacterial content and body weight, whereas a high fat
diet increased the proportion of a gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) containing microbiota in humans
Prospective cohort studies indicate that diets high in insoluble cereal DF and whole grains might reduce diabetes risk
at both progestogen and glucocorticoid receptors may mediate the effects of high-dose MPA therapy in breast cancer. The possible stimulation of the growth of some cell types by MPA requires further investigation.
Approximately 80% of women reported overall satisfaction with the micronized progesterone-containing regimen. A micronized progesterone-containing HRT regimen offers the potential for improved QOL as measured by improvement of menopause-associated symptoms.
