Micronutrient supplementation influences the composition and diet-originating function of the gut microbiome in healthy adults.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Studies in-vitro and in animals propose that vitamins and minerals can alter the human gut microbiome. Human trials replicating these findings are scarce or used micronutrient supplementation in supraphysiological doses. We explore...

Mucosal immune responses and intestinal microbiome associations in wild spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta).

Communications biology
Little is known about host-gut microbiome interactions within natural populations at the intestinal mucosa, the primary interface. We investigate associations between the intestinal microbiome and mucosal immune measures while controlling for host, s...

Gut microbiota alterations are linked to COVID-19 severity in North African and European populations.

NPJ biofilms and microbiomes
Although COVID-19 primarily affects the respiratory system, many patients experience gastrointestinal symptoms, suggesting a role for the gut microbiota in disease pathogenesis. To explore this, we performed shotgun metagenomic sequencing on stool sa...

Fecal gut microbiota and amino acids as noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers of Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease.

Gut microbes
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Fecal calprotectin (FCP) has limited specificity as diagnostic biomarker of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), leading to unnecessary invasive endoscopies. This study aimed to develop and validate a fecal microbiota and ...

Machine learning based gut microbiota pattern and response to fiber as a diagnostic tool for chronic inflammatory diseases.

BMC microbiology
Gut microbiota has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple gastrointestinal (GI) and systemic metabolic and inflammatory disorders where disrupted gut microbiota composition and function (dysbiosis) has been found in multiple studies. Thus, h...

The Gut Microbiota in Young Adults with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder and Its Performance as Diagnostic Biomarkers.

Nutrients
Diagnosing ASD in adults presents unique challenges, and there are currently no specific biomarkers for this condition. Most existing studies on the gut microbiota in ASD are conducted in children; however, the composition of the gut microbiota in c...

Meta-analysis of shotgun sequencing of gut microbiota in obese children with MASLD or MASH.

Gut microbes
Alterations in the gut microbiome affect the development and severity of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). We analyzed microbiomes of obese children with and w...

Microbial vitamin biosynthesis links gut microbiota dynamics to chemotherapy toxicity.

mBio
Dose-limiting toxicities pose a major barrier to cancer treatment. While preclinical studies show that the gut microbiota influences and is influenced by anticancer drugs, data from patients paired with careful side effect monitoring remains limited....

Brassica microgreens shape gut microbiota and functional metabolite profiles in a species-related manner: A multi-omics approach following in vitro gastrointestinal digestion and large intestine fermentation.

Microbiological research
Brassicaceae microgreens constitute a novel and promising source of bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols and glucosinolates. In this work, an integrative computational approach was performed to decipher the interaction between bioaccessible micro...

Potential Modulatory Roles of Gut Microbiota and Metabolites in the Associations of Macronutrient-to-Physical Activity Ratios With Dyslipidemia.

Journal of the American Heart Association
BACKGROUND: Lifestyle factors toward diet and physical activity (PA) may directly influence the pathophysiology of dyslipidemia. However, the associations of the specific macronutrient-to-PA ratio with dyslipidemia, and the underlying mechanisms rega...
