Journal ArticleDOI

Metformin Is Associated With Higher Relative Abundance of Mucin-Degrading Akkermansia muciniphila and Several Short-Chain Fatty Acid-Producing Microbiota in the Gut.

Jacobo de la Cuesta-Zuluaga, +6 more
- 01 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: The hypothesis that metformin shifts gut microbiota composition through the enrichment of mucin-degrading A. muciniphila as well as several SCFA-producing microbiota is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Higher Fecal Short-Chain Fatty Acid Levels Are Associated with Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis, Obesity, Hypertension and Cardiometabolic Disease Risk Factors

Jacobo de la Cuesta-Zuluaga, +8 more
- 27 Dec 2018 - 
TL;DR: Higher SCFA excretion was associated with evidence of gut dysbiosis, gut permeability, excess adiposity, and cardiometabolic risk factors, and studies assessing both fecal and circulating SCFAs are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age- and Sex-Dependent Patterns of Gut Microbial Diversity in Human Adults.

Jacobo de la Cuesta-Zuluaga, +10 more
TL;DR: Large-scale analyses of the relationship of age and sex to gut bacterial diversity in adult cohorts from four geographic regions found sex-dependent differences that were more pronounced in younger adults than in middle-aged adults, with women having higher alpha diversity than men.

Age and sex-dependent patterns of gut microbial diversity in human adults

Jacobo de la Cuesta-Zuluaga, +10 more
- 08 Feb 2019 - 
TL;DR: In three of the four cohorts, a strong positive association between age and alpha diversity in young adults that plateaued after age 40 was observed, and women had higher alpha diversity than men in the US and UK cohort, with a reduced difference above age 40.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut microbiota is associated with obesity and cardiometabolic disease in a population in the midst of Westernization.

Jacobo de la Cuesta-Zuluaga, +5 more
- 27 Jul 2018 - 
TL;DR: In insights into the evolution of the gut microbiota, the importance of this community to human health is underscored, and the growth of specific microbial consortia could help ameliorating physiological conditions associated with Western lifestyles.
