Gut microbiota aids in fat digestion by converting primary bile acids into unconjugated and secondary bile acids. Recent research in mice has uncovered an intricate host-microbiota partnership in regulating bile acid production, helping to prevent excessive accumulation and maintain metabolic balance.

Inflammation has been involved in the onset of chronic diseases. Probiotics emerge as a potential dietary tool for managing those conditions, partly through their role in immune system modulation and the anti-inflammatory response. Find out what is known about the anti-inflammatory effects of probiotics and their potential applications at the bedside.

Despite the fact that current guidelines for managing inflammatory bowel diseases do not devote attention to diet as a central element of treatment, there is an increasing amount of evidence that supports the role of diet in patients with IBD. A new nationwide cohort study shows the association between the level of inflammatory potential in diet and risk of Crohn’s disease.
