TL;DR: This paper showed that high salt intake affects the gut microbiome in mice, particularly by depleting Lactobacillus murinus, and treatment of mice with L. murinus prevented salt-induced aggravation of actively induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and salt-sensitive hypertension by modulating T helper 17 (TH17) cells.

TL;DR: Dietary long-chain fatty acids enhanced differentiation and proliferation of T helper 1 and/or Th17 cells and impaired their intestinal sequestration via p38-MAPK pathway and dietary short-chain FAs expanded gut T regulatory (Treg) cells by suppression of the JNK1 and p38 pathway.

TL;DR: The data suggest that lifestyle modifications leading to augmented SCFA production could be a beneficial nonpharmacological preventive strategy for patients with hypertensive cardiovascular disease and emphasize an immune-modulatory role of SCFAs and their importance for cardiovascular health.

TL;DR: It is shown that high salt intake affects the gut microbiome in mice, particularly by depleting Lactobacillus murinus, and treatment of mice with L. murinus prevented salt-induced aggravation of actively induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and salt-sensitive hypertension by modulating TH17 cells.

TL;DR: It is suggested that PA can serve as a potent immunomodulatory supplement to MS drugs and as an add-on to MS immunotherapy.
