“A recent study found that older adults with cognitive impairment had distinct differences in their gut microbes compared to those without impairment. Researchers assigned 229 adults aged 60 and older to one of two groups based on their cognitive function.”

“The treated mice lived also longer compared to mice that weren't given butyrate. [...] > When the researchers fed the ALS-prone mice butyrate in their water, starting when the mice were 35 to 42 days old, the mice showed a restored gut microbiome profile and improved gut integrity.”

“A recent study found that mice without gut microbes, known as germ-free mice, had lower exercise capacity and used oxygen and glucose less efficiently during physical activity. Researchers compared germ-free mice to mice with normal gut bacteria.”

“Considering the links between gut health and metabolism, they offer new insights into addressing sleep-related metabolic disorders in children. Learn about the importance of establishing a healthy gut microbiota in early life in this clip featuring Dr. Eran Elinav.”

“Intermittent fasting (every other day) increased gut bacteria diversity and reduced inflammation, demyelination, and axonal damage in multiple sclerosis (MS) animal model. A small pilot trial in humans with MS showed many similar changes to the gut microbiome and blood adipokines such as leptin.”

“FTA: > Researchers have discovered that antibiotics have an unwanted impact on the microorganisms that live in an animal's gut that's more broad and complex than previously known. A study has helped to explain these processes, which are now believed to affect everything from the immune system to glucose metabolism, food absorption, obesity, stress and behavior.”

“Surprisingly, the concern isn't just that these chemicals affect health but rather the mechanisms by which they do so. A recent study in mice found that exposure to persistent organic pollutants altered the animals' gut microbiome composition, skewing it toward a less beneficial profile.”

“Butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid, is best known for its roles in maintaining gut barrier function and preventing intestinal permeability. However, butyric acid also protects the vascular endothelium – the lining of the blood vessels.”

“The immune system has strategies for filtering these autoimmune cells out of circulation; however, this filter can malfunction due to age, genetic predisposition, disruption of the gut barrier and gut microbiota, or other environmental exposures.”

“The microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA), the bidirectional relationship between the microbes that inhabit the human gut and the nervous system, plays critical roles in neurological, hormonal, and immune function, influencing multiple aspects of health.”
