Gut Microbiota: The Missing Link Between Helicobacter pylori Infection and Metabolic Disorders?

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of gut microbiota as the linking factor between H. pylori infection and metabolic diseases is discussed, and the impact that gut bacterial modulation by H.pylori eradication treatment can also have in host's metabolism.

Exposure to copper altered the intestinal microbiota in Chinese brown frog (Rana chensinensis).

TL;DR: Results indicated that total body length, intestinal wet weight, and total body wet weight were reduced in 0.75 μM CuSO4 exposure group, which provides new perspective to explore the effect of heavy metal on the intestinal health of amphibians.

The canine gastrointestinal microbiota: early studies and research frontiers

TL;DR: Studying canine intestinal microorganisms enables clarifying changes in the canine intestinal bacteria under different conditions, simulating human diseases in dog models, and conducting in-depth studies of the interactions between intestinal bacteria and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human gut microbiota in health and disease: Unveiling the relationship

TL;DR: A comprehensive understanding of gut microbiota interactions, its role in health and disease, and recent updates on the subject are the striking topics of the current review.
Journal ArticleDOI

The gut microbiota as a versatile immunomodulator in obesity and associated metabolic disorders.

TL;DR: The role of the microbiome in the regulation of intestinal and systemic immunity is discussed in this article, where the authors review the mechanisms whereby "obesogenic" diets and the microbiome impact immunity, locally and systemically.

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

Adipose expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha: direct role in obesity-linked insulin resistance

TL;DR: A role for TNF-alpha in obesity and particularly in the insulin resistance and diabetes that often accompany obesity is indicated.
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

Metabolic endotoxemia initiates obesity and insulin resistance

TL;DR: It is concluded that the LPS/CD14 system sets the tone of insulin sensitivity and the onset of diabetes and obesity and lowering plasma LPS concentration could be a potent strategy for the control of metabolic diseases.
