Increased circulating butyrate and ursodeoxycholate during probiotic intervention in humans with type 2 diabetes

Paul J. McMurdie et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates an increase in circulating butyrate and ursodeoxycholate following probiotic intervention in humans with T2D, suggesting a potential targeted microbiome-based approach for managing T2D. The efficient synthesis of UDCA by C. butyricum may also be of interest for probiotic use in other disease settings. Additionally, the inhibitory interaction between sulfonylurea drugs and gut microbiota should be carefully considered in future study designs.

High-fat or high-sugar diets as trigger inflammation in the microbiota-gut-brain axis

Giovana Jamar et al.

Summary: Microbiota, intestine, and brain interact through the vagus nerve, with dietary habits influencing gut bacterial diversity and hypothalamic energy balance. The effects are mediated by microglial activation, systemic inflammation, and nerve signaling, leading to neuroinflammation. Different diets can alter microbial composition and cause neuroadaptations, with hyperlipidic diets affecting inflammatory pathways and sucrose influencing metabolic alterations.

MOLECULAR PHYSIOLOGY OF BILE ACID SIGNALING IN HEALTH, DISEASE, AND AGING

Alessia Perino et al.

Summary: Bile acids have become important signaling molecules in the body, enabling inter-tissue communication and exerting pleiotropic physiological effects. The chemical variety of bile acids, largely determined by the gut microbiome, allows for complex adaptive responses in the body. This review discusses the mechanisms by which bile acid receptors coordinate various aspects of physiology and presents new therapeutic strategies for diseases related to pathological bile acid signaling.

Supplementation of quinoa regulates glycolipid metabolism and endoplasmic reticulum stress in the high-fat diet-induced female obese mice

Tian An et al.

Summary: The quinoa diet significantly reduced blood glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein levels, improved glucose tolerance, and histological changes in liver tissues in obese mice. Additionally, quinoa improved oxidative stress indicators and down-regulated ER stress markers in the liver of obese mice.

Association of Gut Hormones and Microbiota with Vascular Dysfunction in Obesity

Valentina Rovella et al.

Summary: Obesity has become a pandemic issue, posing a major risk for cardiovascular diseases due to chronic fat accumulation leading to vascular endothelial dysfunction and premature arterial stiffness. Recent studies have found an interesting pathological connection between endothelial dysfunction and gut hormones, gut microbiota, and energy balance, calling for further investigation into these mechanisms.

Modulation of Adipocyte Metabolism by Microbial Short-Chain Fatty Acids

Karolline S. May et al.

Summary: Obesity and its complications are a global epidemic with links to gut microbiota. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by gut microbes impact adipose tissue metabolism, including adipogenesis, lipolysis, and inflammation. Understanding the modulation of SCFAs on adipose tissue function may lead to novel therapeutic strategies for obesity.

Hypothalamic bile acid-TGR5 signaling protects from obesity

Ashley Castellanos-Jankiewicz et al.

Summary: Activation of hypothalamic TGR5 signaling reduces body weight and fat mass by promoting negative energy balance, counteracting diet-induced obesity. Conversely, downregulation of hypothalamic TGR5 expression may contribute to the development of obesity. These findings highlight the important role of hypothalamic TGR5 signaling in the pathophysiology of obesity.

Dietary Polyphenols to Combat Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease via the Gut-Brain-Liver Axis: A Review of Possible Mechanisms

Zhenyu Wang et al.

Summary: This review discusses the role of dietary polyphenols in improving NAFLD by regulating the intestinal microecology. Polyphenols can control NAFLD through gut-brain-liver cross-talk, affecting microbial community structure, gut metabolites, and gut-derived hormones. Understanding the communication among the intestine, brain, and liver provides new insights into the mechanisms of dietary polyphenols in NAFLD pathology.

Role of Bile Acids in the Regulation of Food Intake, and Their Dysregulation in Metabolic Disease

Cong Xie et al.

Summary: Bile acids are now recognized as important signaling molecules that regulate blood glucose, lipid, and energy metabolism, with FXR and TGR5 signaling playing a crucial role in mediating these effects. This may help explain the metabolic benefits of bile acid sequestrants, metformin, and bariatric surgery.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that dysbiosis of the gut microbiota can lead to increased levels of endotoxins, which play a key role in the pathogenesis of liver diseases. Clinical studies have linked elevated endotoxin levels to chronic liver diseases, while decreased gut microbiota diversity in cirrhotic patients may increase the risk of post-transplant infections and cognitive impairment.

Gut microbiota in obesity

Bing-Nan Liu et al.

Summary: Obesity is a major global health issue affected by genetics and environment, with increasing evidence linking it to gut microbiota. Gut microbiota management has emerged as a new approach for obesity treatment, but the complex interactions among genetics, environment, microbiota, and obesity are still not well-understood. The review summarizes the characteristics of gut microbiota in obesity, the mechanisms linking gut microbiota to obesity, and the impact of genetic and environmental factors, providing insight into the complex relationship between obesity and microbiota, as well as proposing the future of gut microbiota-related obesity research.
