“From the article: > Participants performed a graded exercise test to estimate peak cardiorespiratory fitness, assessments of total energy expenditure and examination of gut microbiota from faecal swipes. The results showed that participants with the higher cardiorespiratory fitness had significantly greater gut microbiota diversity compared to less fit participants. View full publication.”

“The fermentable fiber is broken down by bacteria in the gut to acetate and butyrate which not only improves the gut barrier but also reduces pro-inflammatory factors and prevents the immune system from attacking the body's own cells (immune tolerance).”

Urolithin A is a postbiotic—a compound our gut microbes can make after we eat foods rich in ellagitannins, such as pomegranates, strawberries, and walnuts.

“The additives that make processed foods creamy, smooth, and long-lasting might come with a hidden cost. A recent study in mice found that common dietary emulsifiers disrupt glucose regulation and alter the gut microbiota, potentially contributing to metabolic disorders and immune dysfunction.”

“Cooking temperatures inactivate myrosinase, effectively preventing isothiocyanate conversion and allowing unhydrolyzed glucosinolates to pass into the gut. In humans, myrosinase-producing gut bacteria can convert these glucosinolates to their cognate isothiocyanates.”

“Vitamin K2 molecules are synthesized by the gut microbiota and found in fermented foods and some animal products (especially liver). Vitamin K plays critical roles in blood clotting, bone metabolism, prevention of blood vessel mineralization, and regulation of various cellular functions.”

“The condition is called 'leaky gut syndrome'. Our studies indicate a leaky gut and increased inflammation in the intestinal mucous membrane and related lymphoid tissue before clinical symptoms of MS are discernible.”

“In the absence of myrosinase, some people's gut microbes produce similar enzymes, helping convert more glucoraphanin into sulforaphane. This variation in gut bacteria may explain why some people respond more strongly to sulforaphane-rich foods or supplements.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest the variable effects of exercise in people with prediabetes may be due to alterations in gut microbial fermentation. Microbial fermentation is the process by which gut bacteria break down and utilize carbohydrates in the gut.”

“Findings of a new report show that probiotics reduced nausea and vomiting and improved quality of life in pregnant women. Levels of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone fluctuate throughout pregnancy altering the composition of the gut microbiota and gastrointestinal function.”
