The results showed that local village chicken could be distinguished from other breeds based on the metabolites present in their serum and pectoralis major muscle. However, the colored broiler (Hubbard) could not be distinguished from broiler (Cobb) and spent layers (Dekalb) in both serum and pectoralis major.

Summary: This study aimed at elucidating the metabolic changes induced by a marathon using untargeted proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1-NMR) spectrometry metabolomics approach. Results showed significant physiological and metabolic changes after the marathon, including decreased amino acid concentrations and increased concentrations of ketone bodies, glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and amino acid catabolism intermediates. Moreover, the elevated levels of creatinine and creatine in the post-marathon group supported previous findings of marathon-induced muscle damage.

Summary: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by acute coronary syndrome with severe left ventricular dysfunction and non-obstructive coronary artery disease, mainly caused by beta-adrenergic overstimulation and acute endogenous catecholamine surge. Studies have shown evidence of inflammation and oxidative stress overload in myocardial tissue of TTS models, but systemic biochemical evidence of augmented oxidant activity in patients with TTS is lacking. The systemic metabolic profile of TTS patients showed significant elevation of ketone bodies, 2-hydroxybutyrate, acetyl-L-carnitine, and glutamate levels, reflecting a systemic response to oxidative stress caused by the stressor that triggered the syndrome's onset.

Summary: This study investigated the differences in metabolomes of upland and lowland switchgrass, and revealed significant variations between these two ecotypes as well as at different developmental stages. Terpenoid- and polyphenol-derived specialized metabolites, including steroidal saponins, di- and sesqui-terpenoids, and flavonoids, were identified. The concentrations of saponins were found to be higher in the roots of lowland switchgrass compared to upland switchgrass. These findings provide valuable insights into the potential biological functions and biosynthesis pathways of specialized metabolites in switchgrass, and could contribute to the development of low-input bioenergy crops.

Summary: Extreme endurance events can have negative effects on athletes' health and performance, especially without sufficient recovery. This study aimed to understand the metabolic changes during post-marathon recovery and identify biomarkers related to stress, recovery, and adaptation. Using metabolomics, researchers found that several metabolites were significantly affected during recovery, including those related to energy production, gut microbiota, and muscle soreness. Although some metabolic pathways recovered within 48 hours, certain metabolites remained perturbed or fluctuated again after initial recovery.

Summary: This study investigated the plasma metabolic differences and connections of diabetes mellitus (DM), coronary heart disease (CHD), and the combination of DM with CHD (CHDDM) using a comparative metabolomics approach. The research identified 17 metabolites related to these diseases and specific biomarker types associated with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C). Dysregulated glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and amino acid biosynthesis pathways were observed in all diseases, while enrichment in tryptophan metabolism was seen in CHDDM and inositol phosphate metabolism in DM. The study also highlighted the dysregulation of metabolites related to microbiota metabolism in both DM and CHDDM patients.

Summary: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a recommended method for discovering marker-trait associations (MTAs) in plant species. This study evaluated the potential use of two machine learning algorithms (SVR and RF) in GWAS and compared them with two conventional methods (MLM and FarmCPU) for identifying MTAs for soybean-yield components. The results demonstrated the potential benefit of using SVR in GWAS for identifying MTAs with potential causal effects on target traits.

Summary: Ground-dwelling species of birds, such as domestic chickens, have difficulty sustaining flight due to high wing loading. Loss of flight feathers, a common occurrence among egg-laying chickens, further limits their flight ability. However, in aviary style systems, chickens still need to use flight to access essential resources stacked in vertical tiers. Clipping flight feathers significantly reduces the time hens spend at elevated resources, indicating the importance of resource distribution and accessibility in commercial housing.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of milk mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIRS) data in predicting CH4 emissions in lactating cows. The results showed that using only milk yield (MY) for prediction had low accuracy, while adding other factors such as fat yield (FY) and protein yield (PY) improved the accuracy. However, using only MIRS data yielded the highest accuracy compared to other combinations.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether NASA POWER data are a viable alternative resource for studying heat stress in Canadian Holsteins and to quantify the influence of heat stress on Canadian dairy cattle. The results showed a high correlation between NASA POWER data and weather station data for ambient temperature, dewpoint temperature, and temperature-humidity index (THI), but a poor correlation for wind speed and relative humidity. All production traits were negatively affected by heat stress, and the patterns of response to increasing THI differed for milk, fat, and protein yields.

Summary: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common cause of acute liver failure in the USA and Europe, but most cases can be recovered or prevented by discontinuing the offending drug. Recent research has found that peroxynitrite (ONOO-) can be used as a potential indicator for early diagnosis of DILI, and there is an urgent need to establish a method to detect and track peroxynitrite in DILI cases. In this study, a FRET-based nano fluorescent probe CD-N-I was developed, which showed high selectivity and sensitivity in detecting peroxynitrite. The probe successfully detected exogenous peroxynitrite in live cells and endogenous peroxynitrite in APAP-induced liver injury of HepG2 cells.
