FECAL MICROBIOTA TRANSPLANTATION FROM FEMALE DONORS RESTORES GUT PERMEABILITY AND REDUCES LIVER INJURY AND INFLAMMATION IN MIDDLE-AGED MALE MICE EXPOSED TO ALCOHOL

Fecal microbiota transplantation from female donors restores gut permeability and reduces liver injury and inflammation in middle-aged male mice exposed to alcohol

BackgroundAlcohol misuse, binge drinking pattern, and gender-specific effects in the middle-aged population has been clearly underestimated.In the present study, we focused on understanding gender-specific effects of alcohol exposure on the gut-liver axis and the role of gut microbiota in modulating gender-specific responses to alcohol consumption.

Physical Activation of Wooden Chips and the Effect of Particle Size, Initial Humidity, and Acetic Acid Extraction on the Properties of Activated Carbons

In this research study, two different wooden biomasses (birch and pine) were thermally carbonized and steam-activated into activated carbons Bath salts in a one-stage process.The effects of particle size and humidity (as received and oven-dried) on the properties, such as specific surface areas, pore volumes, and pore size distributions, of the fin
