TLDR
Diet, which can modulate the gut microbiome and several metabolic pathways involved in NAFLD development, shows a potential tripartite relation between the gut, diet, and the liver.

Butyrate: A Double-Edged Sword for Health?

TL;DR: The present knowledge on the properties of butyrate, especially its potential effects and mechanisms involved in intestinal health and obesity, are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal Microbiome Shifts, Dysbiosis, Inflammation, and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that disruption of the intestinal–mucosal macrophage interface is a key factor in intestinal-liver axis disturbances and the incorporation of evidence based probiotic/prebiotic formulations as adjunctive modalities may enhance lifestyle modification management strategies for the amelioration of NAFLD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prebiotic and probiotic treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis supports the potential use of microbial therapies in the treatment of NAFLD and sheds light on their potential mode of action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Curcumin and inflammation in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a randomized, placebo controlled clinical trial.

TL;DR: The results indicated that curcumin supplementation plus lifestyle modification is not superior to lifestyle modification alone in amelioration of inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions between gut microbiota and non-alcoholic liver disease: The role of microbiota-derived metabolites.

TL;DR: It is revealed that the metabolites can both agonize and antagonize their cognate receptors to reduce or exacerbate liver steatosis and inflammation, and that the effects are metabolite‐ and context‐specific.

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

Diversity of the human intestinal microbial flora.

TL;DR: A majority of the bacterial sequences corresponded to uncultivated species and novel microorganisms, and significant intersubject variability and differences between stool and mucosa community composition were discovered.
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.
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.
