“Findings from a new study suggest that some compounds in e-cigarettes trigger inflammation, promoting a leaky gut. Leaky gut, otherwise known as intestinal permeability, is a condition in which gaps form between the tight junctions between the endothelial cells that line the gut.”

“Overall, serum zonulin decreased following eight weeks of a polyphenol-rich diet, meaning that gut barrier integrity improved. Participants who started the trial with better gut barrier integrity had a significantly greater increase in blood levels of polyphenol metabolites compared to participants with leakier guts.”

“Research demonstrates that the microbiota provides protection against infections by preventing pathogenic colonization in the gut. Findings from a new study indicate that taurine facilitates the gut microbiota's immune response to infection.”

“Clips In this clip, Dr. Eran Elinav elaborates on the connection between leaky gut and chronic diseases such as cancer. In this clip, Dr. Satchin Panda discusses how time-restricted eating affects leaky gut and systemic inflammation in this clip from the FoundMyFitness podcast.”

“Metabolic biotransformation As non-nutrients, isothiocyanates such as sulforaphane experience vigorous biotransformation in the human gut and demonstrate a wide range of bioavailability. The compounds passively diffuse into gut epithelial cells, where cytochrome P450 enzymes may oxidize them to reactive intermediate compounds.”

“The findings suggest that the gut microbiota phenotype was present before any overt sign of overweight or obesity. Since the gut microbiota is influenced by diet, this association could also reflect dietary choices that are precursors to obesity.”

“Researchers analyzed stool samples from women with and without endometriosis to investigate links between gut bacteria and the disease. Then, they tested the potential therapeutic effects of key metabolites produced by gut bacteria using animal models.”

“The researchers sequenced DNA from the participants' gut microbiota to determine the number and type of microbes present. Finally, they collected gut microbiota samples from the baseline and 12-week timepoints from the participants who lost the most weight during the weight loss program.”

“Female mice that were put under stress experienced changes in their gut microbiome composition similar to when the animals were put on a high-sugar, high-fat diet. The stress caused inflammation via gut health. This may be a mechanistic link by which stress is linked to depression via inflammation caused by gut dysfunction.”

“muciniphila and Bacteroides fragilis. When given antibiotics (which destroy gut bacteria, including mucin-degrading species), glucose-treated mice exhibited less inflammation and less severe colitis symptoms.”
