Ambient temperature structures the gut microbiota of zebrafish to impact the response to radioactive pollution

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of a temperature profile on their radiosensitivity (exposure to 20 Gy of gamma rays) was investigated to identify the potential biochemical mechanism responsible for influencing radiosensitivity, and suggest that maintaining the stability of gram-positive bacteria may be efficacious to protect aquatic organisms against short or longterm radioactive contamination in the context of global climate change.

Multi-Omics Association Reveals the Effects of Intestinal Microbiome–Host Interactions on Fat Deposition in Broilers

TL;DR: Multi-omics associations suggest that abdominal fat deposition may be influenced by the interactions of specific gut microbiota abundance and the expression of host genes in the intestinal compartments in which the microbes reside.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut microbial differences in breast and prostate cancer cases from two randomised controlled trials compared to matched cancer-free controls.

TL;DR: In this article, the faecal microbiota of newly diagnosed treatment-naive overweight and obese cancer patients and matched controls were compared using the QIIME pipeline, showing significant differences among 16 genera in all matches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rectal swabs are a reliable method of assessing the colonic microbiome.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the use of rectal swabs compared to faecal specimens for colonic microbiome analysis and found that the rectal sample type accounted for only 6.8% of community variation (R2 = 0.067, p < 0.001).

Different gut microbiome composition in obese Guizhou minipigs between female and castrated male.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the castrated male has different gut microbial composition compared to the obese female and the influence of gut microbiome on obesity between them is different, and the main adipogenic gut microorganism in obese Guizhou minipigs in the authors' studies is the same with that in other obese mammals.

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.

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.
