Comparison of rectal swab, glove tip, and participant-collected stool techniques for gut microbiome sampling

Meghan I. Short et al.

Summary: Studies comparing different methods of stool collection revealed differences between home-based and office-based collection methods, with similarities in distance metrics observed within individuals across the three methods. The glove tip method showed similar gut microbiome results to rectal swab and stool microbiome collection techniques.

Trends and influencing factors of plasma folate levels in Chinese women at mid-pregnancy, late pregnancy and lactation periods

Yu-Bo Zhou et al.

Summary: The study found that as pregnancy progresses, maternal plasma folate concentrations decrease, influenced by geographic region and maternal demographic characteristics. Women in late pregnancy and lactating, residing in the northern region, having multiparity and low education level were at higher risk of suboptimal folate status, while older women had a lower risk. Further research is needed to assess the necessity of folic acid supplementation during later pregnancy and lactation, especially for high-risk women.

One Carbon Metabolism and Mammalian Pregnancy Outcomes

Shuang Cai et al.

Summary: One-carbon metabolism plays a crucial role in various physiological processes in mammals, with the highest demand during pregnancy. Different stages of pregnancy have different requirements and functions for one-carbon metabolism, suggesting the need for an ideal model to support optimal pregnancy outcomes and health.

Epidemiology and (Patho)Physiology of Folic Acid Supplement Use in Obese Women before and during Pregnancy

Melissa van der Windt et al.

Summary: Obese women are at higher risk of folate deficiency and neural tube defects, necessitating increased folic acid supplementation. However, the limited physiological uptake of synthetic folic acid and potential side effects require further research and personalized counseling.

Maternal One-Carbon Metabolism during the Periconceptional Period and Human Foetal Brain Growth: A Systematic Review

Eleonora Rubini et al.

Summary: The maternal environment during the periconceptional period influences foetal growth and development via epigenetic mechanisms moderated by one-carbon metabolism. Derangements in one-carbon metabolism can increase the risk of embryonic defects and long-term childhood disorders. Maternal folate levels are associated with foetal head size and brain development, with preconceptional folic acid supplement use and specific dietary patterns showing positive effects on foetal head size.

Diet-induced dysbiosis of the maternal gut microbiome in early life programming of neurodevelopmental disorders

Claudia M. Di Gesu et al.

Summary: The maternal gut microbiome plays a critical role in fetal and early postnatal development, potentially influencing neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring. Genetic and environmental factors, including maternal obesity and obesogenic diets, may contribute to an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in children.

One carbon metabolism and early development: a diet-dependent destiny

Hunter W. Korsmo et al.

Summary: One carbon metabolism is crucial for early development by providing one carbon units for biosynthesis and epigenetic modification of the genome. Prenatal 1C nutrient deficiencies have been shown to impair fetal growth and neurodevelopment, while sufficient maternal 1C nutrient intake is protective. However, excess or imbalance of maternal 1C nutrients may pose potential risks to early development, highlighting the need for further research on the dose-response relationship among prenatal 1C nutrient exposure, epigenetic modifications, and developmental outcomes.

Hauna Sheyholislami et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the adverse effects of probiotic, prebiotic, and/or synbiotic supplementation for pregnant and lactating mothers, finding that these products are safe for use and do not pose serious health concerns for the mother or infant. Visualisations of the findings can help healthcare professionals and consumers make informed decisions about the use of these products.

Maternal Gut Dysbiosis Alters Offspring Microbiota and Social Interactions

Zihan Zhang et al.

Summary: The study suggests that maternal gut dysbiosis may contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders and behavioral defects in offspring, with maternal antibiotic treatment leading to significant changes in offspring gut microbiota and social interactions. This highlights the potential role of maternal gut microbiota as a mediator between offspring microbiota and behaviors in animal models.

Summary: The gut microbiota is essential for understanding the metabolism of important bacteria and their relationship with human health. Changes in gut microbiota composition may contribute to diseases like diabetes and obesity. Recent studies have focused on the direct relationship between gut microbiota and specific health conditions, as well as the impact of diet on microbiota composition.
