Newborn metabolomic signatures of maternal per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance exposure and reduced length of gestation

Kaitlin R. Taibl et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of PFAS exposure on birth outcomes in an African American population in Atlanta. The findings suggest that higher concentrations of certain PFAS chemicals increase the risk of early birth and identified specific metabolic pathways and metabolites associated with reduced gestational age. These findings provide insights into the mechanisms linking PFAS exposure to adverse birth outcomes.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposure, maternal metabolomic perturbation, and fetal growth in African American women: A meet-in-the-middle approach

Che-Jung Chang et al.

Summary: Prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is associated with reduced fetal growth in pregnant African American women. High-resolution metabolomics analysis revealed perturbations in amino acid, lipid and fatty acid, bile acid, and androgenic hormone metabolism pathways as potential mechanisms linking PFAS exposure to fetal growth restriction. Uric acid was identified as a potential intermediate biomarker in this relationship.

Pesticide residue intake from fruits and vegetables and alterations in the serum metabolome of women undergoing infertility treatment

Robert B. Hood et al.

Summary: This study utilized metabolomics to analyze the alterations in the serum metabolome associated with high and low pesticide residue intake from fruits and vegetables. The findings suggest that there are different metabolic pathways associated with high and low pesticide residue FV intake, supporting the disparate health effects associated with these exposures.

The Oxidative Potential of Fine Particulate Matter and BiologicalPerturbations in Human Plasma and Saliva Metabolome

Ziyin Tang et al.

Summary: The study found that particulate oxidative potential may be a key parameter for particulate matter toxicity. By examining the biological changes and underlying molecular mechanisms associated with particulate oxidative potential, the study identified leukotriene metabolism and galactose metabolism in plasma, and vitamin E metabolism and leukotriene metabolism in saliva as top pathways associated with FPMOP. The study also observed different patterns of perturbed pathways for water-soluble and -insoluble FPMOP, and identified five metabolites directly associated with FPMOP. These findings suggest that FPMOP may be a more sensitive and health-relevant measure for understanding the causes related to PM2.5 exposures.

Renal gluconeogenesis: an underestimated role of the kidney in systemic glucose metabolism

David Legouis et al.

Summary: Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that synthesizes glucose from non-hexose precursors and plays a critical role in glucose homeostasis. The kidney contributes significantly to systemic gluconeogenesis, with lactate being the main substrate. Factors such as insulin, cellular glucose levels, acidosis, and stress hormones regulate renal gluconeogenesis. Impaired renal gluconeogenesis in acute and chronic kidney disease can lead to systemic metabolic disturbances. This review highlights the importance of kidney gluconeogenesis and its implications in kidney disease.

Hospitalised heat-related acute kidney injury in indoor and outdoor workers in the USA

Dallas S. Shi et al.

Summary: The study revealed that heat-related acute kidney injury (HR-AKI) occurred in various industries, including indoor facilities. Due to under-reporting and underascertainment, national surveillance databases underestimate the true burden of occupational HR-AKI. Clinicians should consider kidney risk from recurrent heat stress. Employers should provide interventions, such as comprehensive heat stress prevention programmes, including acclimatisation protocols for new workers, to prevent HR-AKI.

Ameliorative Effects of a Rhenium (V) Compound with Uracil-Derived Ligand Markers Associated with Hyperglycaemia-Induced Renal Dysfunction in Diet-Induced Prediabetic Rats

Angezwa Siboto et al.

Summary: The study reveals that treatment with a rhenium (V) compound can ameliorate renal dysfunction and prevent hyperglycaemia-induced oxidative stress in the kidney. The compound improves glomerular filtration rate and reduces the levels of kidney injury molecules in both the presence and absence of dietary modification.

Metabolome-wide association study of the relationship between chlorpyrifos exposure and first trimester serum metabolite levels in pregnant Thai farmworkers

Donghai Liang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the biological perturbations associated with chlorpyrifos exposure among pregnant women in Thailand. The findings suggest that chlorpyrifos exposure is linked to oxidative stress, cellular damage and repair, and systemic inflammation, which could have adverse health effects on both maternal and child health outcomes, including neurodevelopmental deficits.
