A gut microbe can promote growth in mice

The findings of a new study suggest that providing at-risk populations with NOD2 ligands or probiotic bacteria that release high levels of NOD2-activating molecules may help to treat undernutrition.

The gut microbiota: a key player in obesity and weight management

Specific gut bacteria and/or metabolites could be responsible for the differential responses to weight management.

How some gut microbes can promote obesity

The findings of a new study indicate that gut commensals may contribute to obesity through the overproduction of microbe-derived lipids.

Some gut microbes may reverse diet-mediated protection against type 1 diabetes

The findings of a recent study may inform dietary interventions to help protect people against type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.

A nursing mother’s diet alters the microbiota of her offspring, mouse study finds

The findings of a new research suggest that a mother’s diet during nursing influences her offspring’s microbiota composition, gut health and predisposition to become obese.

Some gut microbes can suppress binge-eating of sweet foods

The findings of a new research suggest that the gut microbiota can influence binge-eating of sweet foods.

High-sugar diet could disrupt microbiota, increase odds of obesity and diabetes

The findings of a new study suggest that the interplay between diet, microbiota and intestinal immunity regulates obesity, diabetes and other metabolic conditions.

Some artificial sweeteners may alter the microbiota, affect blood glucose control

A recent study suggests that the microbiome changes in response to human consumption of non-nutritive sweetener may induce glycemic changes in consumers in a personalized manner.

Gut microbe could boost growth in malnourished infants

New research suggests that B. infantis can be used to treat children with acute malnutrition.

A high fat diet can disrupt gut microbial oscillations, leading to metabolic problems

New research suggests that restoring the gut microbiota’s capacity to sense dietary signals mediated by specific host factors may improve metabolic problems.
