TL;DR: It is concluded that a HF diet markedly affects the gut bacterial ecosystem at the functional level.

TL;DR: Shifts in gut bacterial diversity and composition associated with iron treatment are pronounced in IBD participants, despite similar clinical outcome, oral administration differentially affects bacterial phylotypes and faecal metabolites compared with IV therapy.

TL;DR: The data reveal that, depending on its concentration and immunological milieu, butyrate may exert either beneficial or detrimental effects on the mucosal immune system.

TL;DR: Metabolic network reconstruction and assessment of metabolic profiles of fecal samples might be used to identify patients with IBD likely to achieve clinical remission following anti-TNF therapy and increase the understanding of the heterogeneity of IBD.

TL;DR: It is proposed that an interaction of gut microbiota and cholesterol metabolism is essential for fat accretion in normal SPF mice fed cholesterol-rich lard as the main dietary fat source.
