Synthesis of lutetium hydrides at high pressures by Yuan-Ao Peng, Han-Yu Wang, Fu-Hai Su, Pu Wang, Hai-An Xu, Lin Liu, Lun-Xuan Yu, Ross T. Howie, Wan Xu, Eugene Gregoryanz, Xiao-Di Liu

“…High-pressure synthesis of lutetium hydrides from molecular hydrogen (H2) and lutetium (Lu) is systematically investigated using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and visual observations. We demonstrate that the reaction pathway between H2 and Lu invariably follows the sequence Lu ⟶ LuH2 ⟶ LuH3 and exhibits a notable time dependence. …”

Orlistat ameliorates lipid dysmetabolism in high-fat diet-induced mice via gut microbiota modulation by Chengyan Huang, Yuanhui He, Ping Chai, Zongxin Liu, Sirui Su, Yanhui Zhang, Yuelan Luo, Shuiping Fu

“…Furthermore, microbiota transplanted from Orlistat-treated mice effectively alleviated lipid metabolic disorders caused by a high-fat diet. We also observed that Orlistat increased food intake in mice and inhibited the synthesis of appetite-regulating hormones glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon (Gcg). …”
