The microbial soy metabolite S-equol mitigates cadmium neurotoxicity in mice

This study shows that S-equol, a microbial metabolite, reduces cadmium-induced neurotoxicity in mice by restoring neural gene expression and is associated with lower levels in humans carrying the apolipoprotein E4 allele.

Amino Acid-Stimulated Muscle Protein Synthesis is Attenuated During Early Recovery from Aerobic Exercise in Individuals with Obesity

Untargeted metabolomic profiling reveals mTORC1-dependent regulation of amino acid utilization in lymphatic endothelial cells

The paper uses untargeted metabolomic profiling to show that mTORC1 regulates amino acid utilization in lymphatic endothelial cells, affecting glutaminolysis and branched-chain amino acid metabolism.

Glucose and Oxygen Metabolism Coordinate Human Cortical Developmental Decisions

This study shows that physiologic glucose and oxygen levels influence human cortical development by altering metabolic states and cell fate decisions in organoids.
