Metabolic mechanisms for and treatment of NAFLD or NASH occurring after liver transplantation

TL;DR: The putative metabolic mechanisms underlying the emergence of NAFLD or NASH after liver transplantation as well as optimal therapeutic approaches for recipients of liver transplants, including the management of cardiometabolic comorbidities, tailored immunosuppression, lifestyle changes and pharmacotherapy are discussed.

Pathogenetic Mechanisms of Liver-Associated Injuries, Management, and Current Challenges in COVID-19 Patients

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors highlighted the attack of SARS-CoV-2 on liver hepatocytes by exploring the cellular and molecular events underlying the pathophysiological mechanisms in COVID-19 patients with liver injury.

The Gut Microbiota in Kidney Transplantation: A Target for Personalized Therapy?

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors studied the therapeutic potential of the gut microbiota in kidney transplantation and found that modifying the gut microbial signatures could potentially contribute to personalizing immunosuppressive and post-transplant complication therapies to improve graft survival and patients' quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral antibiotics lower mycophenolate mofetil drug exposure, possibly by interfering with the enterohepatic recirculation: A case series

TL;DR: In this paper , the active mycophenolic acid (MPA) exposure severely decreased after oral antibiotic coadministration, which could result in rejection in solid organ transplant recipients, especially when therapeutic drug monitoring frequency is low.

The Effect of the Gut Microbiota on Transplanted Kidney Function

TL;DR: In this article , the authors describe the effect of the microbiota on the transplanted kidney in renal transplant recipients and describe how probiotics of faecal microbiota trapoinsplantation can improve graft tolerance.

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

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

Obesity alters gut microbial ecology

TL;DR: Analysis of the microbiota of genetically obese ob/ob mice, lean ob/+ and wild-type siblings, and their ob/+ mothers, all fed the same polysaccharide-rich diet, indicates that obesity affects the diversity of the gut microbiota and suggests that intentional manipulation of community structure may be useful for regulating energy balance in obese individuals.

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.
