The crosstalk among diet, GM and fecal metabolome was also investigated correlating metabolomics and metataxonomics data. Untargeted metabolomic profiles were correlated with metataxonomics data previously acquired on the same stool samples.

The effects of PEITC on adipocyte differentiation were assessed in C3H10T1/2 and 3T3-L1 cells. Nrf2-induced effects by PEITC were examined in Nrf2 knockout (KO) MEF and Keap1 KO H1299 cells. The interaction between PEITC and Keap1 was evaluated using thermal shift assays and Co-immunoprecipitation experiments. Reconstitution of cysteine mutants of Keap1 in Keap1 KO cells was used to elucidate a critical amino acid for the PEITC-induced Nrf2 stabilization. The initial stages of adipogenesis were crucial for PEITC's anti-adipogenic effects in C3H10T1/2 and 3T3-L1 cells. PEITC increased Nrf2 protein expression, but this induction was absent in Keap1 KO cells. Thermal shift assays with the purified BTB domain of Keap1 confirmed a direct interaction with PEITC. Re-expression of Keap1 in Keap1 KO cells showed that the cysteine residue at position 151 is essential for PEITC-induced Nrf2 expression and the disruption of the Nrf2-Keap1 complex. PEITC was found to activate Nrf2-mediated gene expression and inhibit adipocyte differentiation, at least partially, through Nrf2-dependent mechanisms.

In contrast, 10 mM butyrate promotes macrophage cell death, does not inhibit LPS-induced production of TNF-α, and promotes production of IL-1β, while production of anti-inflammatory IL-10 is reduced in a mechanism involving G protein-coupled receptors, the lipid transporter CD36, and the kinase SRC.

Findings revealed that MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, MPTP) induced (male 6-8 weeks C57BL/6 mice) motor impairments and damage to dopaminergic (DA) neurons in PD mice, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction, decreased mitochondrial biogenesis, disrupted dynamics, and autophagy, while promoting fission and apoptosis. Additionally, MPTP modified gut microbial diversity and community structure. Nevertheless, supplementation with SG5 alleviated motor deficits and DA neurons damage in PD mice, enhancing mitochondrial quality by elevating PGC-1α expression and restoring biogenesis, dynamics, and autophagy levels. Mechanistic investigations demonstrated that SG5 increased colonic GLP-1 expression, suggesting that GLP-1 might regulate mitochondrial function via the GLP-1R-mediated PGC-1α. Furthermore, SG5 counteracted MPTP-induced gut dysbiosis. Notably, both GLP-1R antagonists and PGC-1α inhibitors attenuated the protective effects of SG5 in PD mice.
