Journal ArticleDOI

Nutrient deficiencies secondary to bariatric surgery.

TL;DR: This review describes the literature published in the last few years concerning nutritional deficiencies after bariatric surgery as well as their etiology, incidence, treatment and prevention and gives special attention to adolescents, mainly girls at reproductive age who have a substantial risk of developing iron deficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Butyrate: implications for intestinal function.

TL;DR: This review examines the recent findings regarding the role and mechanisms by which butyrate regulates intestinal metabolism and discusses how these findings could improve the treatment of several gastrointestinal disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neuroimmune guidance cue netrin-1 promotes atherosclerosis by inhibiting the emigration of macrophages from plaques

TL;DR: Netrin-1, a neuroimmune guidance cue, was secreted by macrophages in human and mouse atheroma, where it inactivated the migration of macrophage toward chemokines linked to their egress from plaques, establishing a causative role for negative regulators of leukocyte migration in chronic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of SR-A and CD36 Activity Reduces Atherosclerotic Lesion Complexity Without Abrogating Foam Cell Formation in Hyperlipidemic Mice

TL;DR: Although targeted deletion of SR-A and CD36 does not abrogate macrophage foam cell formation or substantially reduce atherosclerotic lesion area in Apoe−/− mice, loss of these pathways does reduce progression to more advanced necrotic lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral administration of sodium butyrate attenuates inflammation and mucosal lesion in experimental acute ulcerative colitis

TL;DR: Results show that oral administration of sodium butyrate improves mucosa lesion and attenuates the inflammatory profile of intestinal mucosa, local draining lymph nodes and Peyer's patches of DSS-induced UC, and highlight the potential use ofbutyrate supplements as adjuvant in UC treatment.
