Abstract
Iron is an essential trace element for organisms. However, iron overload, which is common in haematological disorders (e.g. haemochromatosis, myelodysplastic syndromes, aplastic anaemia, and thalassaemia, blood transfusion-dependent or not), can promote reactive oxygen species generation and induce ferroptosis, a novel form of programmed cell death characterised by excess iron and lipid peroxidation, thus causing cell and tissue damage. Infertility is a global health concern. Recent evidence has indicated the emerging role of iron overload and ferroptosis in female infertility by inducing hypogonadism, causing ovary dysfunction, impairing preimplantation embryos, attenuating endometrial receptivity, and crosstalk between subfertility-related disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis. In addition, gut microbiota and their metabolites are involved in iron metabolism, ferroptosis, and female infertility. In this review, we systematically elaborate on the current research progress in female infertility with a novel focus on iron overload and ferroptosis and summarise promising therapies targeting iron overload and ferroptosis to recover fertility in women. In summary, our study provides new insights into female infertility and offers literature references for the clinical management of female infertility associated with iron overload and ferroptosis, which may be beneficial for females with haematopoietic disorders suffering from both iron overload and infertility.

Abstract
The study of the gut microbiome holds great promise for understanding and treating metabolic diseases, as its functions and derived metabolites can influence the metabolic status of the host. While research on the fecal microbiome has provided valuable insights, it tells us only part of the story. This limitation arises from the substantial variations in microorganism distribution throughout the gastrointestinal tract due to changes in physicochemical conditions. Thus, relying solely on the fecal microbiome may not be sufficient to draw comprehensive conclusions about metabolic diseases. The proximal part of the small intestine, particularly the jejunum, indeed, serves as the crucial site for digestion and absorption of nutrients, suggesting a potential role of its microbiome in metabolic regulation. Unfortunately, it remains relatively underexplored due to limited accessibility. This review presents current evidence regarding the relationships between the microbiome in the upper small intestine and various phenotypes, focusing on obesity and type 2 diabetes, in both humans and rodents. Research on humans is still limited with variability in the population and methods used. Accordingly, to better understand the role of the whole gut microbiome in metabolic diseases, studies exploring the human microbiome in different niches are needed.

Abstract
Obesity is considered a high-risk disease and a global epidemic, and the number of obese patients is rising at an alarming rate worldwide. High-fat diet-induced dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota is considered an essential factor related to obesity. Bariatric surgery induces a sharp decrease in fat content and effectively improves the metabolism of obese individuals. Herein, we aimed to investigate the effects of a high-fat diet-induced obesity and the alterations in gastric and intestinal microbiota resulting from sleeve gastrectomy on clinical outcomes. We performed 16S sequencing of gastric and fecal samples obtained from rats in three treatment groups: normal chow diet, high-fat diet (HFD), and sleeve gastrectomy after HDF for 14 weeks. The area under the curve of fasting glucose and the levels of leptin and low-density lipoproteins were significantly different between groups. Microbial taxa that were highly correlated with several clinical parameters were identified for each group. Glyoxylate and dicarboxylate, taurine and hypotaurine, butanoate, nitrogen, and pyrimidine metabolism and aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid biosynthesis were affected by bariatric surgery and were significantly associated with changes in the composition of gastric and fecal microbiomes. Connectivity and co-occurrence were higher in fecal samples than in gastric tissues. Our results elucidated the positive effects of sleeve gastrectomy in obesity and shed light on changes in the microbiomes of gastric and fecal samples.

Abstract
For patients with obesity and metabolic syndrome, bariatric procedures such as vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) have a clear benefit in ameliorating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). While the effects of bariatric surgeries have been mainly attributed to nutrient restriction and malabsorption, whether immuno-modulatory mechanisms are involved remains unclear. Here we report that VSG ameliorates MASH progression in a weight loss-independent manner. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that hepatic lipid-associated macrophages (LAMs) expressing the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) increase their lysosomal activity and repress inflammation in response to VSG. Remarkably, TREM2 deficiency in mice ablates the reparative effects of VSG, suggesting that TREM2 is required for MASH resolution. Mechanistically, TREM2 prevents the inflammatory activation of macrophages and is required for their efferocytotic function. Overall, our findings indicate that bariatric surgery improves MASH through a reparative process driven by hepatic LAMs, providing insights into the mechanisms of disease reversal that may result in new therapies and improved surgical interventions.

Abstract
The complex and multifactorial etiology of obesity creates challenges for its effective long-term management. Increasingly, the gut microbiome is reported to play a key role in the maintenance of host health and wellbeing, with its dysregulation associated with chronic diseases such as obesity. The gut microbiome is hypothesized to contribute to obesity development and pathogenesis via several pathways involving food digestion, energy harvest and storage, production of metabolites influencing satiety, maintenance of gut barrier integrity, and bile acid metabolism. Moreover, the gut microbiome likely contributes to the metabolic, inflammatory, and satiety benefits and sustained weight-loss effects following bariatric procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy. While the field of gut microbiome research in relation to obesity and sleeve gastrectomy outcomes is largely in its infancy, the gut microbiome nonetheless holds great potential for understanding some of the mechanisms behind sleeve gastrectomy outcomes as well as for optimizing post-surgery benefits. This review will explore the current literature within the field as well as discuss the current limitations, including the small sample size, variability in methodological approaches, and lack of associative data, which need to be addressed in future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different metabolic/bariatric surgery approaches vary in their effect on weight loss and glucose levels, although the underlying mechanism is unclear. Studies have demonstrated that the gut microbiota might be an important mechanism of improved metabolism after metabolic/bariatric surgery. AIM To investigate the relationship between the improvement in metabolic disturbances and the changes in gut microbiota after gastric or intestinal bypass. METHODS We performed sleeve gastrectomy (SG), distal small intestine bypass (DSIB) or sham surgery in nonobese rats with diabetes induced by 60 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ-DM). RESULTS The group comparisons revealed that both SG and DSIB induced a reduction in body weight and significant improvements in glucose and lipid metabolism in the STZ-DM rats. Furthermore, DSIB exhibited a stronger glucose-lowering and lipid-reducing effect on STZ-DM rats than SG. 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing revealed the gut abundance of some Lactobacillus spp. increased in both the SG and DSIB groups after surgery. However, the DSIB group exhibited a more pronounced increase in the gut abundance of Lactobacillus spp. compared to the SG group, with more Lactobacillus spp. types increased in the gut. CONCLUSION The gut abundance of Lactobacillus was significantly correlated with the improvement in glycolipid metabolism and the change in serum fibroblast growth factor 21 levels.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a central player in maintaining gut-microbiota homeostasis, plays a pivotal role in inducing adaptive mechanisms to hypoxia and is negatively regulated by prolyl hydroxylase 2 (PHD2). HIF-1α is stabilized through PI3K/AKT signaling regardless of oxygen levels. Considering the crucial role of the HIF pathway in intestinal mucosal physiology and its relationships with gut microbiota, this study aimed to evaluate the ability of the lysate from the multi-strain probiotic formulation SLAB51 to affect the HIF pathway in a model of in vitro human intestinal epithelium (intestinal epithelial cells, IECs) and to protect from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. The exposure of IECs to SLAB51 lysate under normoxic conditions led to a dose-dependent increase in HIF-1α protein levels, which was associated with higher glycolytic metabolism and L-lactate production. Probiotic lysate significantly reduced PHD2 levels and HIF-1α hydroxylation, thus leading to HIF-1α stabilization. The ability of SLAB51 lysate to increase HIF-1α levels was also associated with the activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway and with the inhibition of NF-κB, nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2), and IL-1β increase elicited by LPS treatment. Our results suggest that the probiotic treatment, by stabilizing HIF-1α, can protect from an LPS-induced inflammatory response through a mechanism involving PI3K/AKT signaling.

Abstract
Background High-fat diet (HFD) induced obesity is characterized with chronic low-grade inflammation in various tissues and organs among which colon is the first to display pro-inflammatory features associated with alterations of the gut microbiota. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is currently one of the most effective treatments for obesity. Although studies reveal that SG results in decreased levels of inflammation in multiple tissues such as liver and adipose tissues, the effects of surgery on obesity related pro-inflammatory status in the colon and its relation to the microbial changes remain unknown. Methods To determine the effects of SG on the colonic pro-inflammatory condition and the gut microbiota, SG was performed on HFD-induced obese mice. To probe the causal relationship between alterations of the gut microbiota and improvements of pro-inflammatory status in the colon following SG, we applied broad-spectrum antibiotics cocktails on mice that received SG to disturb the gut microbial changes. The pro-inflammatory shifts in the colon were assessed based on morphology, macrophage infiltration and expressions of a variety of cytokine genes and tight junction protein genes. The gut microbiota alterations were analyzed using 16s rRNA sequencing. RNA sequencing of colon was conducted to further explore the role of the gut microbiota in amelioration of colonic pro-inflammation following SG at a transcriptional level. Results Although SG did not lead to pronounced changes of colonic morphology and macrophage infiltration in the colon, there were significant decreases in the expressions of several pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-18, and IL-23 as well as increased expressions of some tight junction proteins in the colon following SG, suggesting an improvement of pro-inflammatory status. This was accompanied by changing populations of the gut microbiota such as increased richness of Lactobacillus subspecies following SG. Importantly, oral administrations of broad-spectrum antibiotics to delete most intestinal bacteria abrogated surgical effects to relieve colonic pro-inflammation. This was further confirmed by transcriptional analysis of colon indicating that SG regulated inflammation related pathways in a manner that was gut microbiota relevant. Conclusion These results support that SG decreases obesity related colonic pro-inflammatory status through the gut microbial alterations.

Abstract
Changing composition of the gut microbiome is an important component of the gut adaptation to various environments, which have been implicated in various metabolic diseases including obesity and type 2 diabetes, but the mechanisms by which the microbiota influence host physiology remain contentious. Here we find that both diets high in the fermentable fiber inulin and vertical sleeve gastrectomy increase intestinal expression and circulating levels of the anti-microbial peptide Reg3g. Moreover, a number of beneficial effects of these manipulations on gut function, energy balance, and glucose regulation are absent in Reg3g knockout mice. Peripheral administration of various preparations of Reg3g improves glucose tolerance, and this effect is dependent on the putative receptor Extl3 in the pancreas. These data suggest Reg3g acts both within the lumen and as a gut hormone to link the intestinal microbiome to various aspects of host physiology that may be leveraged for novel treatment strategies.
