Journal ArticleDOI
The Immunomodulatory and Anti-Inflammatory Role of Polyphenols.
TL;DR: It is shown that polyphenols can play a beneficial role in the prevention and the progress of chronic diseases related to inflammation such as diabetes, obesity, neurodegeneration, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases, among other conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of probiotics and prebiotics in immunomodulation
TL;DR: The last 5 years of studies covering mainly their beneficial effect on intestinal microbiota, the modulation of the functional properties of the microbiota, epithelial cells, dendritic cells and diverse immune cell types and the regulation of cytokines production are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescence and Aging: Impact of Adolescence Inflammatory Stress and Microbiota Alterations on Brain Development, Aging, and Neurodegeneration
TL;DR: It is proposed that the consumption of probiotics during adolescence contribute to the prevention of brain pathologies in adulthood by mitigating inflammation, reverse dysbiosis, and decrease vulnerabilities to brain disorders later in life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of horizontal gene transfer to the emergence of VIM-4 carbapenemase producer Enterobacteriaceae in Kuwait.
Agnes Sonnevend,Nour Yahfoufi,Nour Yahfoufi,Akela Ghazawi,Wafaa Jamal,Vincent O. Rotimi,Tibor Pál +6 more
TL;DR: The genetic support of blaVIM-4 in six Klebsiella pneumoniae strains, one Escherichia coli, and one Enterobacter cloacae strain is investigated and the spread of this IncA/C plasmid and particularly that of the In416 integron caused a considerable increase in the rate of mostly clonally unrelated VIM-producing Enterobacteriaiaceae strains of multiple species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent use of potential novel probiotic Rouxiella badensis subsp. acadiensis (Canan SV-53) mitigates pubertal LPS-Induced behavioral changes in adulthood in a sex-specific manner by modulating 5HT1A receptors expression in specific brain areas
Nour Yahfoufi,Emily G. Ah-Yen,Rajini Chandrasegaram,Sarah Aly,Michael Murack,Anthony K. Kadamani,Chantal Matar,Nafissa Ismail +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the gut microbiome is a mediator of the effects of stress on mental health in adulthood and emphasizes the importance of considering adolescence as window of opportunities during which probiotic use can alleviate the long-term neural and behavioral alterations induced by stress.
