TL;DR: Age-related differences in the microbiota makeup were detected but differed between the study populations from the four countries, each showing a characteristic colonization pattern.

TL;DR: Red wine polyphenols administered with the diet to F344 rats for 16 weeks inhibited colon carcinogenesis induced by azoxymethane or dimethylhydrazine, and found a down-regulation of many genes regulating cell surface antigens, metabolic enzymes and cellular response to oxidative stress.

TL;DR: Two bacterial strains isolated from Italian elderly human faeces present favourable strain-specific properties for their utilisation as probiotics in functional foods and the high adhesion ability of the L. rhamnosus IMC 501 and L. paracasei IMC 502 used in combination indicate that the two bacterial strains could be used as health-promoting bacteria.

TL;DR: An improvement in tolerance to acute stress of fry fed with probiotics is suggested, indicating a greater potentiality to respond to the harmful conditions possibly present in fish farms.

TL;DR: Probiotic administration during sea bream development using Brachionus plicatilis and/or Artemia salina and dry feed as vectors significantly decreased larvae and fry mortality and influenced gut colonization.
