An experiment in lab mice found that certain human gut bacteria can absorb PFAS, commonly called "forever chemicals," until they are excreted, new study finds.

Hot spots or fire pockets are likely. Alert fire service to the possible hay fire incident. Close barns to minimize air ...

More importantly, this weight loss was accompanied by notable changes in the cats’ gut bacterial populations. A key discovery was the increase in levels of propionic acid found in the cats’ feces ...

Graphical AbstractMetabolomic analyses in a mouse model of HFpEF showed that levels of indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), a metabolite produced by gut bacteria from tryptophan, were reduced in the plasma ...

C. acnes and propionic acid For the study, the researchers exposed human skin keratinocytes—cells that make up the skin’s top layer known as the epidermis—to various kinds of bacteria found ...

We also found that the lipids skin cells produce after exposure to C. acnes or propionic acid have antimicrobial effects against C. acnes. This suggests that the lipids C. acnes helps produce have a ...

Our research suggests that propionic acid from C. acnes has multiple advantageous effects on the skin barrier. For example, by increasing the lipid content in skin cells, propionic acid reduced ...
