TL;DR: The results indicate that G. lucidum and its high molecular weight polysaccharides may be used as prebiotic agents to prevent gut dysbiosis and obesity-related metabolic disorders in obese individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tsung-Ru Wu,Chuan-Sheng Lin,Chih-Jung Chang,Tzu-Lung Lin,Jan Martel,Yun-Fei Ko,David M. Ojcius,Chia-Chen Lu,John Ding-E Young,Hsin-Chih Lai +9 more
TL;DR: HSM polysaccharides and the gut bacterium P. goldsteinii represent novel prebiotics and probiotics that may be used to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-obesogenic and antidiabetic effects of plants and mushrooms
Jan Martel,David M. Ojcius,David M. Ojcius,David M. Ojcius,Chih-Jung Chang,Chuan-Sheng Lin,Chia-Chen Lu,Yun-Fei Ko,Shun-Fu Tseng,Shun-Fu Tseng,Hsin-Chih Lai,John Ding-E Young +11 more
TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms that underlie the anti-obesogenic and antidiabetic effects of several plants and mushrooms contain antioxidants, fibre and other phytochemicals, and it is proposed that combining these food items with existing anti-OBesogenic approaches might help to reduce obesity and its complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Next generation probiotics in disease amelioration.
Chih-Jung Chang,Tzu-Lung Lin,Yu-Ling Tsai,Tsung-Ru Wu,Wei-Fan Lai,Chia-Chen Lu,Hsin-Chih Lai +6 more
TL;DR: The important roles of next generation probiotics and gut microbiota normobiosis on the maintenance of intestinal integrity and homeostasis are emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of obesity on depression: A role for inflammation and the gut microbiota.
Julieta Schachter,Jan Martel,Chuan-Sheng Lin,Chih-Jung Chang,Tsung-Ru Wu,Chia-Chen Lu,Yun-Fei Ko,Hsin-Chih Lai,David M. Ojcius,John Ding-E Young +9 more
TL;DR: A body of research suggests that modulating the composition of the gut microbiota using prebiotics and probiotics may produce beneficial effects on anxiety and depression.
