In vitro barrier models using Caco-2 cells (gut epithelium) or brain endothelial cells could be employed to test the hypothesis that microbiota metabolites, such as butyrateeither administered directly or derived from patient-derived fecal microbiota culturescan strengthen epithelial and endothelial barrier function and reduce oxidative stress [40]

Abstract Prostate cancer invokes major shifts in gene transcription and metabolic signaling to mediate alterations in nutrient acquisition and metabolic substrate selection when compared to normal tissues
Research shows that approximately 3040% of GLP-1 users encounter a period of stalled progress, which may signal that your current medication strategy needs adjustment rather than a sign of personal failure
Metformin, on the other hand, has a much smaller effect on weight
In this context, their potential antitumor relevance is biologically plausible, as they may improve metabolic dysfunction, reduce obesity-related chronic inflammation, and influence nutrient availability and metabolic reprogramming in the TME (66-68)
