Benoit Chassaing from institute Pasteur (France), delves into the ways various environmental factors, particularly dietary additives, affect the gut microbiome.
Many common drugs — including antibiotics — can inhibit the growth of gut bacteria and alter their function.
The gut microbiome clearly influenced the expression of 8 peptides involved in appetite regulation, which, along with diet and physical activity, plays a pivotal role in the development of anorexia…
The findings suggest that the vagus nerve and amygdala are crucial in maintaining microbiota balance and could serve as targets for mitigating stress-related gut and immune conditions.
The findings show that C. difficile infection affects cholesterol metabolism and disrupts the gut microbiota by reducing beneficial bacteria and increasing harmful ones, with fecal microbiota transplant proving more effective…
The findings confirm that mother’s milk can deliver beneficial bacteria to very-low-birth-weight infants, with feeding practices and antibiotic use influencing this microbial exchange.
The findings of a recent study highlight the potential of the human gut microbiota as a source for new antibiotics.
The findings suggest that while antibiotics can cause changes to the infant microbiota, they are much less significant than the impact of feeding mode.
The findings suggest that the microbiota processes environmental carcinogens in ways that lead to cancer.
A deeper understanding of human biology, new dietary and medical interventions, and their effects on the microbiota may lead to more accurate and trustworthy dietary advice.
