Nutrients and Oxidative Stress: Friend or Foe?

TL;DR: A better understanding of the role of oxidative stress in obesity and the development of obesity-related NCDs would provide a useful approach because oxidative stress can be mediated by both extrinsic and intrinsic factors, hence providing a plausible means for the prevention of metabolic disorders.

Impact of Diet on Human Intestinal Microbiota and Health

TL;DR: Current insights on dietary influence on the human intestinal microbiota based on recent high-throughput molecular studies and interconnections with health are reviewed, focusing especially on the emerging data that identify the amount and type of dietary fat as significant modulators of the colonic microbiota and its metabolic output.

Quantitatively Different, yet Qualitatively Alike: A Meta-Analysis of the Mouse Core Gut Microbiome with a View towards the Human Gut Microbiome

TL;DR: The GM of mice and humans is quantitatively different (in terms of abundance of specific phyla and species) but share a large qualitatively similar core.

Microbial endocrinology: Host-microbiota neuroendocrine interactions influencing brain and behavior.

Mark Lyte
- 01 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: The examination of the microbiota from the vantage point of host-microbiota neuroendocrine interactions cannot only identify new microbial endocrinology-based mechanisms by which the microbiota can influence host behavior, but also lead to the design of interventions in which the composition of the microbiome may be modulated in order to achieve a specific microbial endocrine-based profile beneficial to overall host behavior.

Potential of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics for management of colorectal cancer

TL;DR: An attempt is made to abridge the role of carcinogen in colorectal cancer establishment and prognosis, where special attention has been paid to food-borne mutagens and functional role of beneficial human gut microbiome in evading cancer.

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.
