“Many metabolites are produced when food is digested and further metabolized by gut microbes. The investigators analyzed food-related and microbiota-derived metabolites in the blood of more than 800 adults living in two distinct regions of France.”

“This diverse collection of molecules is synthesized by the gut microbiota, but they can also be found in fermented foods and some animal products, especially liver. High dietary menaquinone intake is associated with reduced coronary artery calcification.”

“Blocking the protein's activity reduced the inflammation associated with the disease. Researchers studied the role that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor – a protein found on specific immune cells called T cells – plays in autoimmunity in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis.”

“Interestingly, the animals' avoidance behavior occurred before allergy-associated gut inflammation manifested. Cysteinyl leukotrienes are pro-inflammatory lipid mediators produced by various immune cells, including mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, and macrophages.”

“Vitamin K1 is synthesized by plants and is the major form found in the diet. Vitamin K2 molecules are synthesized by the gut microbiota and found in fermented foods and some animal products (especially liver). Read full publication.”

“The good news is that collagen supplementation may have benefits beyond this specific role. Collagens are major structural proteins in many body tissues, including tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skin, blood vessels, muscles, gut tissue, and dentin.”

“FTA: > After a long stay in the Intensive Care Unit only a handful of pathogenic microbe species remain behind in patients' intestines, a study has shown. The team of researchers tested these remaining pathogens and discovered that some can become deadly when provoked by conditions that mimic the body's stress response to illness.”
