“Instead, gut microbes may convert oat compounds into bioactive molecules that influence cholesterol metabolism alongside fiber fermentation. The participant groups were relatively small and the diet interventions could not be blinded.”

“They also had healthier, more mature gut microbiomes – comparable to infants born vaginally. These findings suggest that exposing infants born via cesarean section to their mother's vaginal fluids promotes appropriate neurodevelopment and corrects alterations in gut microbial populations.”

“Flagella provide bacteria motility, which facilitates penetration of the gut mucosa and drives the activation of pro-inflammatory responses. The study involved wild type mice that received weekly peritoneal injections of purified bacterial flagellin for 10 weeks.”

“This is because it is complexed to a fiber matrix (which alters gut absorption and metabolism). Fruit also contains a plethora of unique prebiotics that are beneficial to gut health and immune health as well as a multitude of hormetic plant compounds which are also very beneficial for health.”

“Notably, fasting reduced the number of proinflammatory immune cells, whereas regulatory T cells increased. The participants who followed the DASH diet alone did not experience changes in their gut microbiota or immune cell populations.”

“Conversely, loneliness is associated with depression, poor sleep, impaired cognitive function, and early death. Findings of a new study show a relationship between the gut microbiota and feelings of wisdom, compassion, and social support.”

“Many children with autism spectrum disorder have gut disturbances including a loss of diversity in bacteria in the gut including bifidobacteria and prevotella. Fecal transplant increased these beneficial bacteria and was even better two years after the procedure.”

“First, researchers investigated how gut bacteria influence cellular reprogramming in mice. They induced gene expression to initiate reprogramming, and then they treated the mice with antibiotics to disrupt their gut microbiota.”

“They inactivated DMV neurons that connect to the jejunum (the middle portion of the intestine), shortening the length of the microvilli in the gut and reducing fat absorption. However, stimulating DMV neurons increased fat absorption and promoted weight gain.”

“A 24-hour fast restructured the gut microbiome in diabetic mice which beneficially impacted the shape and number of colon cells, decreased markers of gut permeability, changed bile acid secretion, and prevented the development of retinopathy.”
