Abstract
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a serious health threat. Soybean meal peptide (SMP) supplementation may protect against this damage; however, the potential mechanism underlying the specific sequence of SMPs is unclear. Protein-protein interaction and proteomic analyses are effective methods for studying functional ingredients in diseases. This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanism of action of the peptide Gly-Thr-Tyr-Trp (GTYW) on ALD using protein-protein interaction and proteomic analyses. These results demonstrate that GTYW influenced the targets of glutathione metabolism (glutathione-disulfide reductase, glutathione S-transferase pi 1, and glutathione S-transferase mu 2). It also regulated the expression of targets related to energy metabolism and amino acid conversion (trypsin-2, cysteine dioxygenase type-1, and F6SJM7). Amino acid and lipid metabolisms were identified based on Gene Ontology annotation. These results indicate that GTYW might affect alcohol-related liver disease signaling pathways. This study provides evidence of the protective and nutritional benefits of SMPs in ALD treatment.

Abstract
In modern life, the fluctuation of dietary protein levels is common, in particular, for low-income populations. However, its effect on human health is little known. Alternating changes of low and high casein or pork protein were used to simulate the fluctuation of dietary protein content in mice. Hepatic lipid accumulation showed a fast response to alternating changes of low- and high-protein diets. Correspondingly, some gut microbiota and tryptophan metabolite composition also showed a fast response to dietary protein changes. The fast response of 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK) was proven to inhibit hepatic lipid accumulation in vitro. Therefore, intermittent protein diets modulated hepatic lipid accumulation through 3-HK. These findings highlighted the sensitivity of hepatic lipid accumulation to dietary protein levels.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) is abundant in liver, adipocytes, and skeletal muscles, but not heart. A cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes conversions between CO2 and HCO3- in the regulation of intracellular pH, its physiological role in myocytes is not fully understood. Mouse skeletal muscles lacking CAIII showed lower intracellular pH during fatigue, suggesting its function in stress tolerance. We created transgenic mice expressing CAIII in cardiomyocytes that lack endogenous CAIII. The transgenic mice showed normal cardiac development and life span under nonstress conditions. Studies of ex vivo working hearts under normal and acidotic conditions demonstrated that the transgenic and wild-type mouse hearts had similar pumping functions under normal pH. At acidotic pH, however, CAIII transgenic mouse hearts showed significantly less decrease in cardiac function than that of wild-type control as shown by higher ventricular pressure development, systolic and diastolic velocities, and stroke volume via elongating the time of diastolic ejection. In addition to the effect of introducing CAIII into cardiomyocytes on maintaining homeostasis to counter acidotic stress, the results demonstrate the role of carbonic anhydrases in maintaining intracellular pH in muscle cells as a potential mechanism to treat heart failure.

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of protein malnutrition on liver morphology and physiology in rats subjected to different malnutrition schemes. Pregnant rats were fed with a control diet or a low protein diet (LPD). Male offspring rats received a LPD during gestation, lactation, and until they were 60 days old (MM group), a late LPD that began after weaning (CM), or a LPD administrated only during the gestation-lactation period followed by a control diet (MC). On day 60, blood was collected and the liver was dissected out. We found a decrease in MM rats' total body (p < 0.001) and liver (p < 0.05) weight. These and CM rats showed obvious liver dysfunction reflected by the increase in serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGOT) (MM p < 0.001) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) (MM and CM p < 0.001) enzymes, and liver content of cholesterol (MM and CM p < 0.001) and triglycerides (MM p < 0.01; CM p < 0.001), in addition to what we saw by histology. Liver dysfunction was also shown by the increase in gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) (MM, MC, and CM p < 0.001) and GST-pi1 (MM and CM p < 0.001, MC p < 0.05) expression levels. MC rats showed the lowest increment in GST-pi1 expression (MC vs. MM; p < 0.001, MC vs. CM; p < 0.01). ROS production (MM, CM, and MC: p < 0.001), lipid peroxidation (MM, CM, and MC p < 0.001), content of carbonyl groups in liver proteins (MM and CM p < 0.001, MC p < 0.01), and total antioxidant capacity (MM, CM, and MC p < 0.001) were increased in the liver of all groups of malnourished animals. However, MM rats showed the highest increment. We found higher TNF-α (MM and CM p < 0.001), and IL-6 (MM and CM p < 0.001) serum levels and TGF-β liver content (MM p < 0.01; CM p < 0.05), in MM and CM groups, while MC rats reverted the values to normal levels. Pro-survival signaling pathways mediated by tyrosine or serine/threonine kinases (pAKT) (MM and CM p < 0.001; MC p < 0.01) and extrasellular signal-regulated kinase (pERKs) (MM p < 0.01; CM p < 0.05) appeared to be activated in the liver of all groups of malnourished rats, suggesting the presence of cells resistant to apoptosis which would become cancerous. In conclusion, a LPD induced liver damage whose magnitude was related to the developmental stage at which malnutrition occurs and to its length.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases are a family of enzymes that catalyze the reversible condensation of water and carbon dioxide to carbonic acid, which spontaneously dissociates to bicarbonate. Carbonic anhydrase III (Car3) is nutritionally regulated at both the mRNA and protein level. It is highly enriched in tissues that synthesize and/or store fat: liver, white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle. Previous characterization of Car3 knockout mice focused on mice fed standard diets, not high-fat diets that significantly alter the tissues that highly express Car3. We observed lower protein levels of Car3 in high-fat diet fed mice treated with niclosamide, a drug published to improve fatty liver symptoms in mice. However, it is unknown if Car3 is simply a biomarker reflecting lipid accumulation or whether it has a functional role in regulating lipid metabolism. We focused our in vitro studies toward metabolic pathways that require bicarbonate. To further determine the role of Car3 in metabolism, we measured de novo fatty acid synthesis with in vitro radiolabeled experiments and examined metabolic biomarkers in Car3 knockout and wild type mice fed high-fat diet. Specifically, we analyzed body weight, body composition, metabolic rate, insulin resistance, serum and tissue triglycerides. Our results indicate that Car3 is not required for de novo lipogenesis, and Car3 knockout mice fed high-fat diet do not have significant differences in responses to various diets to wild type mice.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether the effects on the mouse liver caused by three periods of feeding a protein-free diet for 5 days followed by a normal complete diet for 5 days (3PFD-CD) are prevented by a constant methionine supply (3PFD+Met-CD). The expressions of carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII), fatty acid synthase (FAS), glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) were assessed by proteomics and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions. The liver redox status was examined by measuring the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), as well as protein carbonylation. Because oxidative stress can result in apoptosis, the activity and content of caspase-3, as well as the x-linked inhibitor of the apoptosis protein (XIAP) and mitochondrial caspase-independent apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) contents were assessed. In addition, the liver histomorphology was examined. Compared to the controls fed a normal complete diet throughout, feeding with 3PFD-CD increased the FAS content, decreased the CAIII content, decreased both the SOD and CAT activities, and increased protein carbonylation. It also activated caspase-3, decreased the XIAP content, decreased the AIF content, increased the number of GSTP1-positive foci and caspase-3-positive cells, and caused fatty livers. Conversely, the changes were lessened to varying degrees in mice fed 3PFD+Met-CD. The present results indicate that a regular Met supply lessens the biochemical changes, damage, and caspase-dependent apoptosis provoked by recurrent dietary amino acid deprivation in the mouse liver.
