Gut Microbial Metabolite TMAO Enhances Platelet Hyperreactivity and Thrombosis Risk.

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 Roles of 27 Genera of Human Gut Microbiota in Ischemic Heart Disease, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and Their Risk Factors: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

TL;DR: Results from this study indicate that these 8 genera of gut microbiota should be given priority in future research relating the gut microbiome to ischemic heart disease and its risk factors.

Gut Microbiota in Atherosclerosis: Focus on Trimethylamine N-Oxide.

TL;DR: It is likely that regulating TMAO production and associated gut microbiota may become a promising strategy for the anti‐atherosclerosis therapy, which is conceptually novel, when compared with existing traditional treatments.

The Impact of the Adipose Organ Plasticity on Inflammation and Cancer Progression.

TL;DR: The plasticity of adipocytes was focused on, describing the molecules produced and secreted by those cells, the modulation of the signaling pathways involved in the browning phenomena of white adipose tissue and its impact on inflammation and cancer.

Multiple Sclerosis: Melatonin, Orexin, and Ceramide Interact with Platelet Activation Coagulation Factors and Gut-Microbiome-Derived Butyrate in the Circadian Dysregulation of Mitochondria in Glia and Immune Cells.

TL;DR: Data would indicate that gut-driven alterations in ceramide and mitochondrial function, particularly in glia and immune cells, underpin MS pathophysiology.

Plasma and urinary metabolomic profiles of Down syndrome correlate with alteration of mitochondrial metabolism.

TL;DR: An analysis of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-detectable part of the metabolome in plasma and urine samples, studying 67 subjects with DS and 29 normal subjects as controls selected among DS siblings showed a clear discrimination between the DS and the control groups.

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.

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.

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.
