N-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Stimulate Bile Acid Detoxification in Human Cell Models by Anna Cieślak, Jocelyn Trottier, Mélanie Verreault, Piotr Milkiewicz, Marie-Claude Vohl, Olivier Barbier

“…The effects of EPA and/or DHA on the expression of genes involved in the maintenance of BA homeostasis were analyzed in human hepatoma (HepG2) and colon carcinoma (Caco-2) cells, as well as in primary culture of human intestinal (InEpC) and renal (RPTEC) cells. Extracellular BA species were quantified in culture media using LC-MS/MS. …”

Mesenteric desmoid tumor after laparoscopic resection of stage I endometrial cancer: A case report by Mamiko Kusaka, Tetsuo Maeda, Kazuhiro Kitajima, Homare Murakoshi, Takahiro Watanabe, Shigeki Yoshida, Yuka Sano, Noriko Osumi, Mieko Inagaki

“…Computed tomography (CT) indicated the presence of a solitary tumor arising from the intestinal wall or mesentery. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging and integrated positron emission tomography/CT with 2-18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose suggested DT rather than recurrence, but surgical resection was chosen after considering the potential risks. …”

Development and Characterization of an F-labeled Ghrelin Peptidomimetic for Imaging the Cardiac Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor by Ahmed Abbas MSc, Lihai Yu PhD, Tyler Lalonde BSc, Derek Wu BSc, Jonathan D. Thiessen PhD, Leonard G. Luyt PhD, Savita Dhanvantari PhD

“…Biodistribution studies in mice showed that tissue uptake of the tracer was independent of circulating ghrelin levels, and there was negligible cardiac uptake and high uptake in the liver, intestines, and kidneys. Specificity of tracer uptake was assessed using ghsr −/− mice; both static and dynamic PET imaging revealed no difference in cardiac uptake, and there was no significant correlation between cardiac standardized uptake values and GHSR1a expression. …”

Diet-derived urolithin A is produced by a dehydroxylase encoded by human gut Enterocloster species by Reilly Pidgeon, Sacha Mitchell, Michael Shamash, Layan Suleiman, Lharbi Dridi, Corinne F. Maurice, Bastien Castagner

“…Once absorbed, uroA can trigger mitophagy and aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling pathways, altering host immune function, mitochondrial health, and intestinal barrier integrity. Most individuals harbor a microbiota capable of uroA production; however, the mechanisms underlying the dehydroxylation of its catechol-containing precursor (uroC) are unknown. …”
