Dietary methionine restriction improves the gut microbiota and reduces intestinal permeability and inflammation in high-fat-fed mice

TL;DR: The MRD can improve gut health by regulating the intestinal microbiota and its metabolite profiles in the HFD mice by reducing methionine intake by simple dietary adjustment, and may have contributed to the prevention of HFD-induced obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diet and Healthy Lifestyle in the Management of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

TL;DR: The diet recommended for women with GDM should contain sufficient macronutrient and micronutrients to support the growth of the foetus and, at the same time, limit postprandial glucose excursions and encourage appropriate maternal gestational weight gain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic and Asymmetric Changes of the Microbial Communities after Cohousing in Laboratory Mice.

TL;DR: The transmission of bacterial species was asymmetric in kinetics and abundance, resulting in a microbiota that is more similar to that of Jackson mice than Taconic mice, providing insight into the dynamics and normalization of the microbiota during horizontal transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Roles of 27 Genera of Human Gut Microbiota in Ischemic Heart Disease, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and Their Risk Factors: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

TL;DR: Results from this study indicate that these 8 genera of gut microbiota should be given priority in future research relating the gut microbiome to ischemic heart disease and its risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of a 3-Months Vegetarian Diet on the Gut Microbiota and Immune Repertoire.

TL;DR: The composition and duration of the diet may have an impact on the balance of pro-/anti-inflammatory factors in the gut microbiota and immune system.

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.
