Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) polysaccharide ameliorates obesity in association with modulation of lipid metabolism and gut microbiota in high-fat diet fed mice.

TL;DR: In this paper , the anti-obesity effect of OPS was evaluated in obese mice induced by a high-fat diet (HFD), and the results showed that OPS significantly alleviated weight gain, dyslipidemia, and metabolic endotoxemia of obese mice, and accelerated the production of short-chain fatty acids.

Microbial Adaptation Due to Gastric Bypass Surgery: The Nutritional Impact

TL;DR: A deeper understanding is provided of the current knowledge of the changes in intestinal microbiota induced by bariatric surgery considering pre-surgical nutritional changes to provide a deeper understanding of the relative impact ofbariatric surgery on weight loss and gut microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conducting research on diet-microbiome interactions: A review of current challenges, essential methodological principles, and recommendations for best practice in study design

TL;DR: In this article, a review aims to summarise considerations for conducting high-quality diet-microbiome research, outline key challenges unique to the field, and provide advice for addressing these in a practical manner useful to dietitians, microbiologists, gastroenterologists and other diet-biome researchers.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Microbiota in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and Related Biliary Malignancies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the available data on the role of the gut microbiome and elucidate important insights into underlying pathogenic mechanisms and possible microbe-altering interventions.

TL;DR: Findings revealed that gut microbes could exert anti-obesity effects by controlling the host’s energy balance and food intake and can allow the development of novel strategies to fight incidences of obesity.

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.
