Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of gut microbiota composition from birth to 24 weeks in the INFANTMET Cohort.

TL;DR: These findings confirm that mode of delivery and gestational age both have significant effects on early neonatal microbiota composition and there is also a significant difference between the metabolite profile of FT and PT infants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut Bifidobacteria Populations in Human Health and Aging.

TL;DR: The aim of this mini-review is to describe the bifidobacteria compositional changes associated with different stages in life, highlighting their beneficial role, as well as their presence or absence in many disease states.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary fat, the gut microbiota, and metabolic health - A systematic review conducted within the MyNewGut project

TL;DR: High fat and high SFA diets can exert unfavorable effects on the gut microbiota and are associated with an unhealthy metabolic state, while high MUFA diets may negatively affect gut microbiota whereas PUFA do not seem to negatively affect the Gut microbiota or metabolic health outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perinatal factors affect the gut microbiota up to four years after birth.

TL;DR: It is shown that gestational age at birth still imprints on the microbiome at four years of age, suggesting a link between altered microbiome in prematurity and long term health implications.
