TL;DR: The green-Mediterranean diet was the only intervention to induce a significant change in microbiome composition during the weight loss phase, and to prompt preservation of weight loss-associated specific bacteria and microbial metabolic pathways following the aFMT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wolffia globosa-Mankai Plant-Based Protein Contains Bioactive Vitamin B12 and Is Well Absorbed in Humans.
Ilan Sela,Anat Yaskolka Meir,Alexander Brandis,Rosa Krajmalnik-Brown,Lydia Zeibich,Debbie Chang,Blake Dirks,Gal Tsaban,Alon Kaplan,Ehud Rinott,Hila Zelicha,Shira Arinos,Uta Ceglarek,Berend Isermann,Miri Lapidot,Ralph Green,Iris Shai,Iris Shai +17 more
TL;DR: Mankai plant contains bioactive B12 compounds and could serve as a B12 plant-based food source and the effects of long-term Mankai consumption as a partial meat substitute, on serum B12 concentrations are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anat Yaskolka Meir,Gal Tsaban,Hila Zelicha,Ehud Rinott,Alon Kaplan,Ilan Youngster,Assaf Rudich,Ilan Shelef,Amir Tirosh,Amir Tirosh,Dov Brikner,Efrat Pupkin,Benjamin Sarusi,Matthias Blüher,Michael Stumvoll,Joachim Thiery,Uta Ceglarek,Meir J. Stampfer,Iris Shai +18 more
TL;DR: In humans, a green-MED low-meat diet does not impair iron homeostasis and in rats, iron derived from Mankai (a green-plant protein source) is bioavailable and efficient in reversal of anemia.
