Gut Microbiota, Microinflammation, Metabolic Profile, and Zonulin Concentration in Obese and Normal Weight Subjects by Agnieszka Żak-Gołąb, Piotr Kocełak, Małgorzata Aptekorz, Maria Zientara, Łukasz Juszczyk, Gayane Martirosian, Jerzy Chudek, Magdalena Olszanecka-Glinianowicz

“…Additionally, plasma zonulin level was proportional to daily energy intake (r=0.27, P<0.05) and serum glucose concentration (r=0.18, P<0.05) and inversely proportional to diet protein percentage (r=-0.23, P<0.05). Gut microbiota-related systemic microinflammation in the obese is reflected by circulating zonulin level, a potential marker of interstitial permeability.…”

TGR5 receptors in SF1-expressing neurons of the ventromedial hypothalamus regulate glucose homeostasis by Philippe Zizzari, Ashley Castellanos-Jankiewicz, Selma Yagoub, Vincent Simon, Samantha Clark, Marlene Maître, Nathalie Dupuy, Thierry Leste-Lasserre, Delphine Gonzales, Kristina Schoonjans, Valérie S. Fénelon, Daniela Cota

“…Results: Our findings reveal that TGR5 in SF1 neurons does not play a major role in the regulation of food intake or body weight under standard chow, but it is involved in the adaptive feeding response to the acute exposure to cold or to a hypercaloric, high-fat diet, without changes in energy expenditure. Notably, TGR5 in SF1 neurons hinder glucose metabolism, since deletion of the receptor improves whole-body glucose uptake through heightened insulin signaling in the hypothalamus and in the brown adipose tissue. …”

Co-obligate symbioses have repeatedly evolved across aphids, but partner identity and nutritional contributions vary across lineages by Manzano-Marín, Alejandro, Coeur d’acier, Armelle, Clamens, Anne-Laure, Cruaud, Corinne, Barbe, Valérie, Jousselin, Emmanuelle

“…They typically rely on a single bacterial endosymbiont, Buchnera aphidicola, to supply them with essential nutrients lacking in their diet. This association with Buchnera was described in model aphid species from the Aphidinae subfamily and has been assumed to be representative of most aphids. …”
