Multi-omics data integration in anorexia nervosa patients before and after weight regain: A microbiome-metabolomics investigation

Alessio Maria Monteleone et al.

Summary: This study found significant changes in the gut microbiome composition of patients with anorexia nervosa, including reduced bacterial richness and an increased Bacteroidetes-to-Firmicutes ratio. The relationships between fecal metabolites and bacterial genera showed different structures among the groups, with divergent directions in the acute phase compared to the weight-restored phase. Additionally, a majority of correlations in acutely ill patients suggested a prevalent consumption of metabolites by gut microbiome.

Anorexia nervosa and gut microbiota: A systematic review and quantitative synthesis of pooled microbiological data

Laura Di Lodovico et al.

Summary: Research indicates that alterations in gut microbiota, characterized by a decrease in butyrate-producing species and an increase in mucine-degrading species, may play a role in Anorexia Nervosa. Standardized research methods are recommended to improve comparability among studies and better identify the alterations of gut microbiota in AN.

Gut microbiota alteration in adolescent anorexia nervosa does not normalize with short-term weight restoration

Nina Schulz et al.

Summary: This study found that gut microbiota alterations in adolescent patients with AN do not normalize with weight gain. Lachnospiraceae abundance at admission predicted shorter inpatient treatment duration, which could serve as a clinical predictor and target for nutritional interventions if confirmed in larger studies.

The Gut Microbiome and Metabolomics Profiles of Restricting and Binge-Purging Type Anorexia Nervosa

Alessio Maria Monteleone et al.

Summary: Alterations in the gut microbiome and fecal metabolites were found in anorexia nervosa (AN), with differences seen between those with restricting AN (ANR) and binge-purging AN (ANBP) types. ANBP patients showed significant differences in microbial abundances and metabolites compared to ANR patients. Despite small sample size, this study confirms the occurrence of distinct gut dysbiosis in ANR and ANBP, showcasing different connections between gut microorganisms and fecal metabolites in the two AN types.

Reframing anorexia nervosa as a metabo-psychiatric disorder

Cynthia M. Bulik et al.

Summary: Despite decades of research, understanding the biological aspects of anorexia nervosa (AN) is still lacking. Recent studies have highlighted the important role of metabolic factors in AN, as well as disruptions in enteric microbial communities and anomalies in gut morphology as potential causes of the illness.

A Microbiota-Directed Food Intervention for Undernourished Children

Robert Y. Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that providing a microbiota-directed complementary food prototype (MDCF-2) to children with moderate acute malnutrition in Bangladeshi slums showed positive effects on growth, particularly in weight-for-length and weight-for-age z scores, with changes in plasma proteins related to bone growth and neurodevelopment. These findings suggest that targeted manipulation of microbiota components may be linked to growth outcomes in children with moderate acute malnutrition.

Caloric restriction disrupts the microbiota and colonization resistance

Reiner Jumpertz von Schwartzenberg et al.

Summary: This study highlights the significant impact of diet on shaping the gut microbiome and influencing host metabolism. Restriction of calories led to changes in bacterial abundance and microbial composition, affecting nutrient absorption and resulting in metabolic phenotypes in mice. Further research is needed to understand the complex interactions between diet, microbiome, and host health.

A microbial signature following bariatric surgery is robustly consistent across multiple cohorts

Farnaz Fouladi et al.

Summary: The study found that bariatric surgery leads to significant changes in the gut microbiota, with increases in Veillonella, Streptococcus, and other bacteria, and a decrease in Blautia post-surgery. Machine learning methods could differentiate pre- and post-surgical samples, while opportunistic pathogen abundance consistently increased after surgery in various cohorts. This robust microbial signature early after RYGB surgery across multiple studies and sites could potentially inform microbiome-based interventions for predicting or improving outcomes following surgery.

The intestinal microbiota and metabolites in patients with anorexia nervosa

Petra Prochazkova et al.

Summary: Research has shown that the gut microbiota plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of anorexia nervosa, with dysbiosis of the microbiome. Patients with AN exhibit substantial interindividual variation in their gut microbiome compared to healthy controls, indicating altered bacteriome functions.

Gut microbial communities from patients with anorexia nervosa do not influence body weight in recipient germ-free mice

Elaine M. Glenny et al.

Summary: Analyses show a significant association between gut microbiota from patients with anorexia nervosa and body weight, fat mass, and cecum weight in colonized germ-free mice, regardless of the donor group, suggesting a strong impact of human fecal microbes on these physiological parameters.
