Maternal exercise during lactation reprograms obesity-related changes in mammary metabolism to optimize milk fatty acids and offspring energy expenditure Open
Maternal obesity alters breast milk composition in ways that may predispose infants to excess adiposity. While maternal exercise during lactation has been associated with favorable shifts in milk metabolites in humans, the mechanisms by wh…

Maternal Physical Activity and Its Relationship to the Human Milk Metabolome and Infant Body Composition Open
Context Exercise is recommended for postpartum health, but its effects on breast milk composition and offspring are understudied. Objective This work aimed to test whether the breast milk metabolome is altered with (i) acute exercise and/o…

NR2F2 Reactivation in Early-life Adipocyte Stem-like Cells Rescues Adipocyte Mitochondrial Oxidation Open
In humans, perinatal exposure to an elevated omega-6 (n6) relative to omega-3 (n3) Fatty Acid (FA) ratio is associated with the likelihood of childhood obesity. In mice, we show perinatal exposure to excessive n6-FA programs neonatal Adipo…

Neonatal intake of Omega-3 fatty acids enhances lipid oxidation in adipocyte precursors Open
Establishing metabolic programming begins during fetal and postnatal development, and early-life lipid exposures play a critical role during neonatal adipogenesis. We define how neonatal consumption of a low omega-6 to -3 fatty acid ratio …

Infant Red Blood Cell Arachidonic to Docosahexaenoic Acid Ratio Inversely Associates with Fat-Free Mass Independent of Breastfeeding Exclusivity Open
The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased nearly ten times over the last 40 years, influenced by early life nutrients that have persistent effects on life-long metabolism. During the first six months, infants undergo accelerated ad…

Antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria isolates from ward environment of a hospital in Tema, Ghana Open
Community and hospital-acquired antimicrobial resistance is on the increase worldwide and threatens the ability to treat patients effectively. This can result in high levels of morbidity and mortality from microbial infections. Susceptibil…

Mechanism of Anti-Inflammatory Activity of TLR4-Interacting SPA4 Peptide Open
The TLR4-interacting SPA4 peptide suppresses inflammation. We assessed the structural and physicochemical properties and binding of SPA4 peptide to TLR4–MD2. We also studied the changes at the whole transcriptome level, cell morphology, vi…

Effect of Phenotypic Screening of Extracts and Fractions of<i> Erythrophleum ivorense</i> Leaf and Stem Bark on Immature and Adult Stages of<i> Schistosoma mansoni</i> Open
Schistosomiasis is a disease caused by a flatworm parasite that infects people in tropical and subtropical regions of Sub-Saharan Africa, South America, China, and Southeast Asia. The reliance on just one drug for current treatment emphasi…
