Colonic bacterial composition in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: It is shown that Parkinson's disease (PD) patients have alpha‐synuclein aggregation in their colon with evidence of colonic inflammation, and dysbiosis might be the mechanism of neuroinflammation that leads to α‐Syn misfolding and PD pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crosstalk between Gut Microbiota and Dietary Lipids Aggravates WAT Inflammation through TLR Signaling

TL;DR: It is shown that mice fed lard for 11 weeks have increased Toll-like receptor activation and WAT inflammation and reduced insulin sensitivity compared with mice fed fish oil and that phenotypic differences between the dietary groups can be partly attributed to differences in microbiota composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prebiotics: Definition, Types, Sources, Mechanisms, and Clinical Applications

TL;DR: Health benefits of prebiotics and their safety, as well as their production and storage advantages compared to probiotics, they seem to be fascinating candidates for promoting human health condition as a replacement or in association with probiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Controversial Role of Human Gut Lachnospiraceae.

TL;DR: Changes in Lachnospiraceae abundances according to health and disease are discussed and how nutrients from the host diet can influence their growth and how their metabolites can, in turn, influence host physiology are analyzed.

Resistant starches types 2 and 4 have differential effects on the composition of the fecal microbiota in human subjects

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that RS2 and RS4 show functional differences in their effect on human fecal microbiota composition, indicating that the chemical structure of RS determines its accessibility by groups of colonic bacteria.

Intestinal floras of populations that have a high risk of colon cancer.

TL;DR: Fecal floras of polyp patients, Japanese-Hawaiians, North American Caucasians, rural native Japanese, and rural native Africans were compared, and total concentrations of Bacteroides species and, surprisingly, Bifidobacterium species were generally positively associated with increased risk of colon cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fermentation of Fructooligosaccharides and Inulin by Bifidobacteria: a Comparative Study of Pure and Fecal Cultures

TL;DR: It is observed that bifidobacteria grew by cross-feeding on mono- and oligosaccharides produced by primary inulin intestinal degraders, as evidenced by the high hydrolytic activity of fecal supernatants.
Journal ArticleDOI

A core human microbiome as viewed through 16S rRNA sequence clusters.

TL;DR: It is found that commonalities between samples based on taxonomy could sometimes belie variability at the sub-genus OTU level, and even OTUs present in nearly every subject, or that dominate in some samples, showed orders of magnitude variation in relative abundance emphasizing the highly variable nature across individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting the human microbiome with antibiotics, probiotics, and prebiotics: gastroenterology enters the metagenomics era.

TL;DR: The specialty of gastroenterology will be affected profoundly by the ability to modify the gastrointestinal microbiota through the rational deployment of antibiotics, probiotics, and prebiotics.
