Berberine and its structural analogs have differing effects on functional profiles of individual gut microbiomes.

TL;DR: This study shows that ex vivo microbiome assay can assess differential regulating effects of compounds with subtle differences and reveals that compound analogs can have distinct effects on the microbiome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial Composition, Genotoxicity, and Cytotoxicity of Fecal Samples from Individuals Consuming Omnivorous or Vegetarian Diets.

TL;DR: It is highlighted that lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet was particularly effective in a favorable modulation of microbial activity, thus contributing to a significant reduction of the genotoxic and cytotoxic risk in the gut.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of saponin intervention in metabolic syndrome suggests further study on intestinal microbiota.

TL;DR: It is found that saponins and their secondary metabolites have a preventive effect on MetS, and the effective targets are distributed in the intestine and other organs in human body, while the role of intestinal microbiota in saponin intervention in MetS should be further investigated.

Exposure to cadmium induced gut histopathological damages and microbiota alterations of Chinese toad (Bufo gargarizans) larvae

TL;DR: It is concluded that cadmium could be harmful to tadpole health by inducing intestinal damages and gut microbiota changes by using regular histology analysis and high-throughput sequencing techniques.

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.

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.
