The influence of diet on the gut microbiota.

TLDR
The current 'omic era promises rapid progress towards understanding how diet can be used to modulate the composition and metabolism of the gut microbiota, allowing researchers to provide informed advice, that should improve long-term health status.

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.

Protein degradation by human intestinal bacteria.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the gut microflora could potentially play a major role in proteolysis in the human colon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal bacteria and ageing

TL;DR: Dietary supplements containing prebiotics, probiotics and a combination of both of these, synbiotics show promising results with these supplements, although further longer‐term investigations are required to substantiate their use in elderly healthcare fields.

Prebiotic Effects of Wheat Arabinoxylan Related to the Increase in Bifidobacteria, Roseburia and Bacteroides/Prevotella in Diet-Induced Obese Mice

TL;DR: In this article, the ability of a specific concentrate of water-extractable high molecular weight arabinoxylans (AX) from wheat to modulate both the gut microbiota and lipid metabolism in high-fat (HF) diet-induced obese mice was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absence of intestinal microbiota does not protect mice from diet-induced obesity.

TL;DR: The absence of gut microbiota does not provide a general protection from diet-induced obesity, that intestinal production of Fiaf/Angptl4 does not play a causal role in gut microbiota-mediated effects on fat storage and that diet composition affects gut microbial composition to larger extent than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI

A microbial world within us

TL;DR: An overview is presented of the most recent developments and applications of novel culture‐independent approaches that promise to unravel the mechanisms of GI tract functionality and subsequent possibilities to exploit specifically these mechanisms in order to improve gut health.
