ABSTRACTComplex interrelationships govern the dynamic interactions between gut microbes, the host, and exogenous drivers of disease outcome. A multi-omics approach to cancer prevention by spinach (SPI) was pursued for the first time in the polyposis in rat colon (Pirc) model. SPI fed for 26 weeks (10% w/w, freeze-dried in the diet) exhibited significant antitumor efficacy… Continue reading Dietary #spinach reshapes the gut #microbiome in an Apc-mutant genetic background: mechanistic insights from integrated multi-omics

#Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome impairs mouse skeletal #muscle adaptation to exercise
Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome caused by continuous antibiotic treatment did not affect running activity.Continuous treatment with antibiotics did not result in systemic inflammation as indicated by serum cytokine levels.Gut microbiome dysbiosis was associated with blunted fiber-type specific hypertrophy in the soleus and plantaris muscles in response to progressive weighted wheel running (PoWeR).Gut microbiome dysbiosis… Continue reading #Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome impairs mouse skeletal #muscle adaptation to exercise
A Meta-Analysis on the Global Prevalence, Risk factors and Screening of Coronary #Heart Disease in Non-alcoholic #Fatty Liver Disease
Background and AimsCardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Studies examining the association of coronary heart disease (CHD) and NAFLD are cofounded by various cardiometabolic factors particularly diabetes and body mass index. Hence, we seek to explore such association by investigating the global prevalence, independent risk… Continue reading A Meta-Analysis on the Global Prevalence, Risk factors and Screening of Coronary #Heart Disease in Non-alcoholic #Fatty Liver Disease
Role and Mechanism of Gut #Microbiota in Human #Disease
The human gut microbiome is a huge microbial community that plays an irreplaceable role in human life. With the further development of research, the influence of intestinal flora on human diseases has been gradually excavated. Gut microbiota (GM) dysbiosis has adverse health effects on the human body that will lead to a variety of chronic… Continue reading Role and Mechanism of Gut #Microbiota in Human #Disease
Computational drug repositioning of #atorvastatin for ulcerative #colitis
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with limited effective therapeutic options for long-term treatment and disease maintenance. We hypothesized that a multi-cohort analysis of independent cohorts representing real-world heterogeneity of UC would identify a robust transcriptomic signature to improve identification of FDA-approved drugs that can be repurposed to treat patients with UC. Materials… Continue reading Computational drug repositioning of #atorvastatin for ulcerative #colitis
Baseline #Gut Metagenomic Functional Gene Signature Associated with Variable #Weight Loss Responses following a Healthy Lifestyle Intervention in Humans
Recent human feeding studies have shown how the baseline taxonomic composition of the gut microbiome can determine responses to weight loss interventions. However, the functional determinants underlying this phenomenon remain unclear. We report a weight loss response analysis on a cohort of 105 individuals selected from a larger population enrolled in a commercial wellness program,… Continue reading Baseline #Gut Metagenomic Functional Gene Signature Associated with Variable #Weight Loss Responses following a Healthy Lifestyle Intervention in Humans
Altered Composition of Gut #Microbiota in #Depression: A Systematic Review
Cumulative evidence shows a linkage between gut microbiota pattern and depression through the brain-gut microbiome axis. The aim of this systematic review was to identify the alterations of the gut microbiota patterns in people with depression compared to healthy controls. A comprehensive literature search of human studies, published between January 2000 and June 2019, was… Continue reading Altered Composition of Gut #Microbiota in #Depression: A Systematic Review
#Antibiotics Use and Subsequent Risk of #Colorectal Cancer: A Swedish Nationwide Population-Based Study
Antibiotics use may increase colorectal cancer (CRC) risk by altering the gut microbiota, with suggestive evidence reported. Our study aims to investigate antibiotics use in relation to subsequent CRC risk. MethodsThis is a nationwide, population-based study with a matched case-control design (first primary CRC cases and 5 matched, cancer-free controls). Complete-population data, extracted from Swedish… Continue reading #Antibiotics Use and Subsequent Risk of #Colorectal Cancer: A Swedish Nationwide Population-Based Study
#Intestinal barrier dysfunction plays an integral role in #arthritis pathology and can be targeted to ameliorate disease
HighlightsSerum gut-permeability markers LPB, LPS, and I-FABP are increased in RAMice with arthritis have increased gut permeability and intestinal inflammationBoth bacteria and leukocytes are needed to disrupt gut-barrier integrityPrevention of gut-barrier dysfunction in arthritis ameliorates joint inflammation Context and significanceRheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic joint inflammation. Accumulating evidence suggests that changes… Continue reading #Intestinal barrier dysfunction plays an integral role in #arthritis pathology and can be targeted to ameliorate disease
