Integrated multiomics approach and pathological analyses provide new insights into hepatic injury and metabolic alterations in Saanen goats after dietary exposure to aflatoxin B1 by Donghua Su, Jing Peng, Jingjing Hao, Xi Wang, Peiqiang Yu, Shengli Li, Haitao Shi

“…ABSTRACT: Exploring the toxicity and metabolic mechanisms of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in ruminants can help to develop strategies to prevent or reduce the transfer of the toxin and its metabolites to milk and meat. This study aimed to explore the effects of 3 concentrations of dietary AFB1 (0, 50, and 500 μg/kg) on hepatic injury and metabolism in Saanen goats via histological examination, western blot analysis, as well as integrated multiomics techniques. …”

Associations between caregivers’ health behaviours and overweight/obesity among children aged 2–6 years in Beijing, China: a cross-sectional study by Yan Hu, Juan Du, Wenjing Ji, Xueling Li, Aimin Liang, Xiwei Xu

“…The caregivers’ exercise health behaviours and dietary health behaviours were assessed using a questionnaire, encompassing the frequency of exercise and the duration of each exercise session, as well as the frequency of consumption of desserts, late-night snacks, and fast food, regular eating habits, and the proportion of meat and vegetables consumed daily. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify relationships between caregivers’ health-related behaviours and overweight/obesity in children.Results Having caregivers who exercised ≥3 times/week (OR 0.643, 95% CI 0.417 to 0.990) was a protective factor against childhood overweight/obesity compared with having caregivers who exercised &lt;1 time/week; caregivers’ frequent encouragement of children’s participation in physical activity was also a protective factor (OR 0.513, 95% CI 0.352 to 0.749). …”
