TLDR
Gut microbes, through generation of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), directly contribute to platelet hyperreactivity and enhanced thrombosis potential, revealing a previously unrecognized mechanistic link between specific dietary nutrients, gut microbes, platelet function, and thromBosis risk.

The role of microbial amyloid in neurodegeneration.

TL;DR: The term “mapranosis” is proposed to describe the process of microbiota-associated proteopathy and neuroinflammation, which is a promising area for therapeutic intervention because there are many ways to alter the authors' microbial partners and their products, including amyloid proteins.

Recent developments in understanding the role of the gut microbiota in brain health and disease.

TL;DR: Preclinical and clinical evidence suggest that targeting the microbiota through prebiotic, probiotic, or dietary interventions may be an effective “psychobiotic” strategy for treating symptoms in mood, neurodevelopmental disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.

An obesity-associated gut microbiome with increased capacity for energy harvest

TL;DR: It is demonstrated through metagenomic and biochemical analyses that changes in the relative abundance of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes affect the metabolic potential of the mouse gut microbiota and indicates that the obese microbiome has an increased capacity to harvest energy from the diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

The gut microbiota as an environmental factor that regulates fat storage

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that conventionalization of adult germ-free C57BL/6 mice with a normal microbiota harvested from the distal intestine (cecum) of conventionally raised animals produces a 60% increase in body fat content and insulin resistance within 14 days despite reduced food intake.

Gut flora metabolism of phosphatidylcholine promotes cardiovascular disease

TL;DR: Discovery of a relationship between gut-flora-dependent metabolism of dietary phosphatidylcholine and CVD pathogenesis provides opportunities for the development of new diagnostic tests and therapeutic approaches for atherosclerotic heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal Microbial Metabolism of Phosphatidylcholine and Cardiovascular Risk

TL;DR: The production of TMAO from dietary phosphatidylcholine is dependent on metabolism by the intestinal microbiota and increased levels are associated with an increased risk of incident major adverse cardiovascular events.
