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.

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.

An investigation of the endogenous formation of apparent total N-nitroso compounds in conventional microflora and germ-free rats.

TL;DR: Comparison of results with those from GF rats showed that the ATNC in the stomach and large intestine of the CV animals were formed by microbial action, most probably involving bacterial nitrate-reductase activity.

Using Probiotics in Gastrointestinal Disorders

TL;DR: Although sufficient evidence is not currently available to provide a clear guidance on the best probiotic for a particular clinical indication, key scientific concepts are now emerging and will provide practical information on the use of these products in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbiology: Learning about who we are.

TL;DR: Microbial inhabitants outnumber the authors' body's own cells by about ten to one and are the subject of intensive research, which is beginning to elucidate their roles in health and disease.

Inhibition by resistant starch of red meat-induced promutagenic adducts in mouse colon.

TL;DR: The delivery of fermentable carbohydrate to the colon (as resistant starch) seems to switch from fermentation of protein to that of carbohydrate and a reduction in adduct formation, supporting previous observations that dietary resistant starch opposes the mutagenic effects of dietary red meat.

Studies on Amine Production in the Human Colon: Enumeration of Amine forming Bacteria and Physiological Effects of Carbohydrate and pH

TL;DR: In this article, high levels of amines were present in large intestinal material taken from five persons who had died suddenly, and the authors found that trimethylamine and propylamine constituted about 70% of total amine production at all sample dilutions, indicating these substances were rapidly absorbed from the rectum.
