Summary: Seabuckthorn polysaccharide (SP) has shown significant amelioration effects on obesity induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) in mice. The effects of SP are mediated through modulation of the gut microbiota and its metabolites, leading to reductions in body weight gain, serum lipid levels, and liver triglyceride levels. SP regulates liver lipid metabolism by influencing the composition of the gut microbiome and increasing the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These findings suggest that SP could be a potential nutraceutical for alleviating obesity by targeting the gut-liver axis.

Summary: This study suggests that fermented Astragalus membranaceus (BFA) has a potential therapeutic effect on hyperuricemia. BFA can lower serum uric acid levels, attenuate renal inflammation, regulate the expression of urate transporters, and increase the abundance of butyrate-producing bacteria and probiotics. These findings indicate that BFA could be a novel safe and effective functional food for treating hyperuricemia.

Summary: This study investigates the anti-aging potential of fermented black soybean and adlay (FBA) supplements. The results show that FBA supplementation prevents muscle loss, reduces aging biomarkers, improves gut microbial dysbiosis, and reverses the reduced ability of microbiota in aged mice. These findings suggest that FBA has significant anti-aging effects and can be developed as a functional food for healthy aging.

Summary: This study proves the probiotic traits of Bacillus velezensis TPS3N, Bacillus subtilis TPS4, and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens TPS17, which were isolated from the gut of Nile tilapia, through genomic analysis. Gene clusters responsible for acid and bile tolerance, adhesion, and colonization of the host's gut were identified. Gene markers for bacteriocins and secondary metabolites were also found, suggesting their potential use as alternatives to traditional antibiotics. In addition, the isolates were shown to enhance the host's immunity, aid in digesting complex feed ingredients, and possess genes for synthesizing vitamins and amino acids. This study provides valuable insights into these isolates and opens avenues for genetic manipulations to enhance their characteristics.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Bacillus subtilis, a commensal bacterial species in the human gut, on ethanol-induced acute liver damage in mice. The results showed that pretreatment with Bacillus subtilis suppressed liver fat accumulation, inflammation, intestinal damage, and dysregulated microbial composition caused by ethanol. Furthermore, Bacillus subtilis supplementation increased the abundance of intestinal Bacillus. These findings suggest that Bacillus subtilis may serve as a functional dietary supplement for binge drinkers.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
