High-level adherence to a Mediterranean diet beneficially impacts the gut microbiota and associated metabolome.

TL;DR: High-level consumption of plant foodstuffs consistent with an MD is associated with beneficial microbiome-related metabolomic profiles in subjects ostensibly consuming a Western diet, as well as higher urinary trimethylamine oxide levels in individuals with lower adherence to the MD.

Rhythmicity of the intestinal microbiota is regulated by gender and the host circadian clock

TL;DR: It is reported that both the host circadian system and host gender influence the rhythmicity of the total load and taxonomic abundances in the fecal microbiota, and that regulation by the host clock is dominant.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of Gut Microbiota in the development of obesity and Diabetes

TL;DR: The role of key metabolites mainly the short chain fatty acids that are produced by gut microbiota and how they impact key metabolic pathways such as insulin signalling, incretin production as well as inflammation are looked at.

Gut Fermentation of Dietary Fibres: Physico-Chemistry of Plant Cell Walls and Implications for Health.

TL;DR: It is proposed that as the DF fermentability resulting from this complex microbial population has such profound effects on human health in relation to diet, it would be appropriate to includeDF fermentability in its characterization—a functional approach of immediate relevance to nutrition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age, introduction of solid feed and weaning are more important determinants of gut bacterial succession in piglets than breed and nursing mother as revealed by a reciprocal cross-fostering model.

TL;DR: This piglet cross-fostering model is a useful tool for studying the effects of diet, host genetics and the environment on the development and acquisition of the gut microbiota and over longer studies the subsequent impact on growth, health and performance of pigs.

A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins

TL;DR: The faecal microbial communities of adult female monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs concordant for leanness or obesity, and their mothers are characterized to address how host genotype, environmental exposure and host adiposity influence the gut microbiome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linking Long-Term Dietary Patterns with Gut Microbial Enterotypes

TL;DR: Alternative enterotype states are associated with long-term diet, particularly protein and animal fat (Bacteroides) versus carbohydrates (Prevotella) and other enterotypes distinguished primarily by levels of Bacteroide and Prevotella.

What is the Healthy Gut Microbiota Composition? A Changing Ecosystem across Age, Environment, Diet, and Diseases?

The paper does not provide a specific answer to the question about the healthy gut microbiota composition. The paper discusses the impact of diet on the gut microbiota and its potential role in disease pathogenesis, but it does not provide a comprehensive description of the healthy gut microbiota composition.
