Diet and lifestyle outweigh genetic background in shaping gut microbiome across nonhuman and human primates

19 Aug 2019

by GMFH Editing Team

How genetics versus environmental factors drive gut microbiome variation in related primates remains unknown. New findings show that diet may outweigh phylogenetic evolution in shaping gut microbial communities across primate species and human hunter-gatherers and agriculturalists.

Could increasing delivery of propionate to the human colon be a potential way of improving glucose homeostasis in overweight or obese individuals?

6 May 2019

by Andreu Prados

Colonic propionate has been suggested as a potential target to improve obesity-related metabolic disorders. Based on new research, colonic propionate delivery could be a novel solution to improve metabolism and inflammation in overweight or obese subjects.

15 Nov 2018

by Researchers from the Univ. of Toledo-Microbiome Consortium

A recent study published by researchers from the University of Toledo, in Cell, raises a health concern about that these refined soluble fibers.

A diet rich in the fermentable fiber inulin and associated short-chain fatty acids protects mice against the influenza infection

31 May 2018

by Andreu Prados

A new study has found that the fermentable fiber inulin and short-chain fatty acids exert beneficial effects on the immune system, allowing mice to control influenza infections.

A diet rich in dietary plant polysaccharides suppresses Clostridium difficile infection in mice

10 May 2018

by Andreu Prados

A new study has found that microbiota-accessible carbohydrate-utilizing bacteria and short-chain fatty acids generated during their fermentation prevent C. difficile infection perpetuation in mice.

A high fiber diet may promote specific short-chain fatty acid producers to achieve better metabolic control in type 2 diabetes

26 Mar 2018

by Andreu Prados

A new randomized clinical trial has found that promotion of a select group of gut bacteria by a diet high in diverse fibers may lead to better blood glucose and lipid control and greater weight loss in people with T2DM.

Recent mouse studies lend insights into mechanisms of dietary fiber’s benefits

19 Feb 2018

by Andreu Prados
