Nutrient Sensing and Microbiota Crosstalk: Driving Determinants Shaping Metabolic Stability and Adaptive Physiology for Animal Health
Abstract: Nutrient sensing is a fundamental cellular process that enables animals to adapt to fluctuating dietary inputs while maintaining metabolic homeostasis and health. Recent advances reveal that the gut microbiota functions as an active metabolic partner, producing bioactive metabolites that directly influence host nutrient-sensing pathways and downstream cellular responses. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the integration of key signalling networks, including adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), mechanistic target of …

Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis During Metabolic Disorders: Diabetes
Abstract: Understanding the intricate interplay between gut microbiome dysbiosis and diabetes is crucial due to the escalating prevalence and impact of diabetes mellitus globally. This comprehensive review examines the current understanding of this relationship, elucidating how alterations in the gut microbiome composition contribute to diabetes pathogenesis by influencing metabolic homeostasis, immune regulation, and insulin resistance. Dysregulation of gut microbial communities leads to shifts in diversity and abundance, exacerbating chronic low-grade inflammation …

Clinical metabolomics: Useful insights, perspectives, and challenges.
Abstract: Metabolomics provides a comprehensive snapshot of smallmolecule intermediates and end products of cellular processes and thereby links genotype, environment, and phenotype in human disease . Over the last decade, advances in liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have enabled high-throughput profiling of thousands of metabolites from microliter volumes of clinical samples . Clinical metabolomics is now emerging as a tool for disease diagnosis, risk prediction, therapeutic …

Gut Microbial Metabolites in Inflammatory, Metabolic, and Neurologic Disorders.
Abstract: The human gut microbiota transforms dietary and hostderived substrates into a diverse array of metabolites—including shortchain fatty acids (SCFAs), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), bile acid derivatives, indoles, trimethylamine Noxide (TMAO), branchedchain amino acid (BCAA) derivatives, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)—that act as key signaling mediators along epithelial, immune, endocrine, and neural axes. These metabolites regulate barrier integrity, energy homeostasis, inflammation, and gut–brain communication and are increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel …

Exploring Glucagon-like peptide-1 as a Target Protein for Diabetes Mellitus Treatment: Molecular Docking and Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Phytocompounds from Momordica charantia
Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to use molecular docking techniques to explore the potential of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) as a target protein for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disease marked by elevated blood glucose levels. Given its crucial role in maintaining insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis, GLP-1 may serve as a future target for diabetes therapy. Method: The study employed a multi-phase method. Initially, protein extraction was carried …

Plant Bioactive Metabolites and Their Role in the Prevention and Control of Dental Diseases and Infections.
Abstract: The oral diseases, including dental caries and periodontitis, affect masses worldwide, and have historically been managed with synthetic antimicrobials that cause deleterious side effects, leading to mounting bacterial resistance. Consequently, contemporary dentistry is rapidly shifting toward phytomedicine using plant bioactive molecules, such as polyphenols, terpenes, anthraquinones (berberin, eugenol, curcumin, catechins, allicin, and azadirachtin. These compounds offer potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-regenerative properties that are crucial for preventing and curing dental …

Investigating The Alkalizing Potential of Chandanasava For Restoring Acid-Base Homeostasis in Renal Tubular Acidosis: A Computational and In Silico Pharmacological Study
Abstract: Chandanasava, a traditional Ayurvedic formulation, is recognized for its potential alkalizing properties, which may help restore acid-base homeostasis in conditions such as renal tubular acidosis (RTA). This study aims to investigate the active components of Chandanasava and their interactions with key renal target proteins, Pendrin and Carbonic Anhydrase II, which are essential for maintaining acid-base balance. An in silico approach was utilized to explore the pharmacological potential of the phytochemicals …
