Gut Microbiota and Their Derived Metabolites, a Search for Potential Targets to Limit Accumulation of Protein-Bound Uremic Toxins in Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by gut dysbiosis with a decrease in short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria.Levels of protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) and post-translational Xpel Diuretic modifications (PTMs) of albumin increase with CKD, both risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.The relationship between

The effect of mortality salience and early-life maternal care on neuroendocrine, autonomic, and psychological stress responses

Abstract Adverse early-life experiences alter the regulation of major stress systems such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.Low early-life maternal care (MC) has repeatedly been related to blunted cortisol stress responses.Likewise, an acutely increased awareness of mortality (mortality salience [MS]) also has been shown to blunt cor

Effects of Soil Salinization and Waterlogging on the Concentrations of Some Macronutrients and Sodium in Corn Root

Salinity and waterlogging are two abiotic stresses decrease plants yield.In this research, the effects of soil salinization and waterlogging having concentrations of calcium (Ca), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg) and sodium (Na) and K:Na ratio in corn (Zea mays cv.single cross 704) root were studied under greenhouse conditions.A factorial experiment w
