TL;DR: It is found that adopting a high-fiber diet promoted the growth of SCFA-producing organisms in diabetic humans and had better improvement in hemoglobin A1c levels, partly via increased glucagon-like peptide-1 production.

TL;DR: It is suggested that HFD-induced structural changes of the Gut microbiota can be attributed to reversible elevation or diminution of specific phylotypes, indicating the significant structural resilience of the gut microbiota of adult mice to dietary perturbations.

TL;DR: Modification of the gut microbiota via dietary intervention may enhance the intestinal barrier integrity, reduce circulating antigen load, and ultimately ameliorate the inflammation and metabolic phenotypes.

TL;DR: It is found that children genetically obese with Prader–Willi syndrome shared a similar dysbiosis in their gut microbiota with those having diet-related obesity, which contributes to the alleviation of metabolic deteriorations in obesity regardless of the primary driving forces.

TL;DR: The giant panda appears not to have evolved a gut microbiota compatible with its newly adopted diet, which may adversely influence the coevolutionary fitness of this herbivore.
