ALT Towards modeling enteric hyperoxaluria in a tripartite microbiota-gut-kidney microphysiological system in Microbiota and Host. By Consuelo Fabi et al. Figure 1. Modeling enteric hyperoxaluria in a microphysiological system. Handling of exogenous oxalate involves a first step in the intestinal mucosa, with the contribution of commensal microbes and the intestinal cell lining, and a second step in the kidneys with excretion in the urine. An alteration of intestinal mucosa in enteric hyperoxaluria is responsible for increased oxalate absorption and formation of oxalate stones in the kidneys (left panel). Enteric hyperoxaluria may be modeled in a microphysiological system that incorporates the intestinal mucosa with the epithelial cell lining and commensal microbes, as well as the different segments of the kidneys (the glomerular portion and the distal tubule are represented)...Microbiota and Host 3, 1; 10.1530/MAH-25-0009.

ALT Sex hormones, sex chromosomes, and microbiota: identification of Akkermansia muciniphila as an estrogen-responsive bacterium in Microbiota and Host. By Anil Sakamuri et al. Figure 1. Plasma steroid analysis of gonadal intact and gonadectomized mice. Females: (A) Estradiol was significantly decreased by ovariectomy (P < 0.001) independent of sex chromosome complement. (B) The main effect of ovariectomy did not impact testosterone levels, but an increase was noted in XYF (P = 0.04). (C) There was an overall sex chromosome but not sex hormone effect in Aldosterone levels greater in XXF than XYF (P < 0.01). (D) Castrated male mice indicated no significant difference in estradiol levels (P = 0.5). (E) However, testosterone was significantly decreased in castrated mice (P < 0.0001) independent of the mice genotype. (F) There was no significant effect of castration on aldosterone levels (P = 0.9)... Microbiota and Host 1, 1; 10.1530/MAH-23-0010

ALT Microbiota and Host. Effects of heavy metals on gut barrier integrity and gut microbiota. By Sweta Ghosh, Syam P Nukavarapu, and Venkatakrishna Rao Jala. Figure 1 Effects of heavy metals on gut. Heavy metals such as arsenic (As), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and chromium (Cr) lead to increased oxidative stress, altered gut microbial composition, and inflammation, potentially leading to gut leakiness and gut barrier dysfunction.

ALT The Microbiota and Host logo, a circle featuring text Read the new research. Text reads Figure 1: In situ dental biofilm model and experimental schedule. doi.org/10.1530/MAH-24-0008. Image of figure 1 which shows (A) The pictures of the in situ dental model are shown. The oral appliances are set on the upper jaw of a subject. Eight hydroxyapatite disks are inserted on the buccal surface of the oral appliance. (B) The experimental schedule is shown. In the laboratory, RHG was cultured 10 days before exposure to the in situ DB. Subjects started wearing the oral appliances 24 h before the in situ DB was exposed to RHG.
