“The gut microbiome is crucial for maintaining normal brain processes, and disruptions in gut health can impair cognitive function. Sleep deprivation also impairs cognitive function, but some evidence suggests that probiotics mitigate these effects.”

“However, there have been other intervention trials that have shown whole grains lowered inflammatory biomarkers possibly through their effect on the microbiome. Also, this intervention trial was only 6 weeks which may also account for the modest effect on the microbiome.”

“The gut microbiome also differed between high and low responders, with microbial pathways involved in carbohydrate metabolism more active in those with larger blood sugar spikes. These findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all approach to managing blood sugar may fall short.”

“A clinical trial found a fasting-mimicking diet decreased biomarkers of inflammation in humans. In mice, the diet reversed pathologies associated with Crohn's and colitis partly by changing the gut microbiome.”

“01:01:47 - How the gut microbiome influences glucose regulation and cholesterol. Continuous glucose monitors for personalized medicine Type 2 diabetes is a complex constellation of interrelated metabolic conditions characterized by high blood glucose levels.”

“The probiotics increased the production of metabolites that are known to protect against cancer, lowered DNA damage and inflammation suggesting that the composition of the gut microbiome may play a role in cancer prevention.”

“This is one more link between the microbiome and inflammation. In addition, the individuals with Crohn's disease had higher levels of a certain type of immune cell (Th17) and the proinflammatory cytokine IL-23.”

“Interventions aimed at manipulating the gut microbiome could enhance the effectiveness of physical activity in controlling body weight. Learn more about the gut microbiome's roles in human health in this episode featuring Dr. Eran Elinav. Read full publication.”

“However, only the short, intensive oat diet led to a clear rise in dihydroferulic acid (DHFA), a related compound produced when gut microbes break down ferulic acid. To understand how these changes might affect cholesterol, the researchers combined the clinical results with detailed metabolite and microbiome analyses.”

“Prebiotics are a type of fermentable fiber that is found in vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, oats, quinoa, etc. Fermentable fiber feeds the microbiome which in turn produces molecules such as short chain fatty acids that regulate the immune system and brain function.”
