DSOK-0011 Potentially Regulates Circadian Misalignment and Affects Gut Microbiota Composition in Activity-Based Anorexia Model.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveAnorexia nervosa (AN) is a metabolic-psychiatric disorder characterized by severe weight loss, hypercortisolemia, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activation. In this study, we investigated the effect of inhibiting cortisol regeneration via the enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) on the pathophysiology of AN.
methodFemale C57BL/6J mice underwent a 7-day activity-based anorexia (ABA) paradigm, involving 3 h daily feeding and free access to wheels, until 25% body weight loss or experiment completion. Mice were orally treated once daily with a potent 11β-HSD1 inhibitor, DSOK-0011, or vehicle. Body weight, food intake, and activity transitions were recorded; plasma corticosterone and cholesterol levels were measured using a fluorometric assay; gut microbiota were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing; and hippocampal glial cells were analyzed using immunohistochemistry.
resultsDSOK-0011-treated mice exhibited a modest but significant increase in postprandial wheel-running activity compared to baseline (4-5 p.m., p = 0.018; 5-6 p.m., p = 0.043), whereas vehicle-treated mice showed higher preprandial activity (9-10 a.m., p = 0.0229). Gut microbiota analysis revealed increased alpha diversity in ABA mice, with a specific enrichment of the Lachnospiraceae family in the DSOK-0011 group. However, DSOK-0011 did not significantly affect body weight, food intake, corticosterone, and lipid levels, or hippocampal glial cell populations.
conclusionInhibition of 11β-HSD1 by DSOK-0011 was associated with microbiota alterations and subtle shifts in activity timing under energy-deficient conditions. These findings suggest that peripheral glucocorticoid metabolism may influence microbial and behavioral responses in the ABA model, although its metabolic impact appears limited in the acute phase.
