Chitosan Oligosaccharide Ameliorates Metabolic Syndrome Induced by Overnutrition via Altering Intestinal Microbiota

Yihua Wang et al.

Summary: Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) showed significant effects on metabolic syndrome by inhibiting body weight and liver fat accumulation induced by high-fat diet, as well as restoring blood glucose and fasting insulin levels. The changes in murine intestinal microbiota indicated a potential role of COS in ameliorating metabolic syndrome through interactions with specific bacteria. Gene expression data revealed improvement in intestinal barrier functions and glucose transport, suggesting a potential trigger and consequence of variations in gut microbiota induced by COS.

Review: microbial transformations of human bile acids

Douglas V. Guzior et al.

Summary: Bile acids play key roles in gut metabolism, cell signaling, and microbiome composition. Microbes in the gut modify primary bile acids into diverse forms, and alterations in these secondary bile acids have been linked to various diseases. Recent studies have shown that gut microbiota can conjugate amino acids to bile acids, greatly increasing the diversity of bile acids in mammalian gut.
