Altered Hepatic Gene Expression under Choline-Deficient Conditions
To elucidate mechanisms governing gene expression regulation in the liver in response to choline deficiency, we sought to identify genes responsive to choline-deficient conditions by conducting gene expression analysis in the livers of r...

Agaro-Oligosaccharides Modulate Gut Microbiota to Improve Lipid Metabolism in Obesity Model Rats
Obesity is a global health concern, prompting extensive research to identify food components with potential anti-obesity properties. Agaro-oligosaccharides (AOS) have been reported to have anti-obesity effects; however, the precise mecha...

Dysfunction of the RAR/RXR Signaling Pathway in the Mouse Forebrain Reduces GluA1, PSD-95, and ARP3 Expression in the Hippocampus
Retinoic acid (RA), a biologically active metabolite of vitamin A, regulates gene expression through retinoic acid receptor/retinoid X receptor (RAR/RXR)-dependent transcription and is important for various biological phenomena. To under...

Persimmon-Derived Tannins Ameliorated Cholesterol Levels in Liver Tissues Induced by a High-Fat Diet and Concurrently Increased the Diversity of the Gut Microbiota of Rats
A number of studies have suggested that tannins improve lipid metabolism disorders. Based on the close relationship between liver and the gut microbiota through the gut-liver axis, we hypothesized that tannins may reduce lipid accumulati...

Comparative Effects of Guanidinoacetic Acid and Creatine on Body Composition, Muscle Strength, and Protein Metabolism Biomarkers in Older Adults: A Randomized Exploratory Pilot Trial
Creatine supplementation can improve muscle outcomes in older adults, particularly when combined with resistance exercise; however, its efficacy without exercise is less consistent. Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), the immediate precursor of ...

Orally Administered Vitamin D Ameliorates Cognitive Decline in Early Stage of Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D (VD) deficiency has been associated with cognitive impairment; however, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear. In this study, we examined the impact of dietary VD deficiency on cognitive function and explor...

Bio-Guided Fractionation of Cardamom Ethyl Acetate Fraction Promotes Glucose Uptake via GLUT4 Translocation through Insulin Signaling Pathway in the Skeletal Muscle
Regulation of skeletal muscle glucose uptake is an effective strategy for reducing postprandial hyperglycemia and improving whole-body glucose homeostasis in the management of type 2 diabetes. The present study investigated that cardamom...

Association between the Timing of Seafood, EPA, DHA Consumption and Sleep Pattern: A Cross-Sectional Study
Seafood, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is reported to be associated with sleep. Animal studies have suggested that these fatty acids influence circadian clock sys...

Effect of Bile Acids on Daidzin Metabolism to Equol during In Vitro Incubation of Human Feces
Equol (Eq), produced by intestinal bacteria, is a more active metabolite than its precursor, daidzein; however, its production varies greatly among individuals. Bile acids (BAs) influence the balance of intestinal microbiota and may affe...

Relationship between Masticatory Behaviors and Body Mass Index in Healthy Adults Using a Wearable Mastication Counter
This study investigated the relationship between masticatory behaviors, masticatory ability, and body mass index (BMI) in healthy adult males and females using a newly developed wearable mastication counter. A total of 106 healthy dentul...
