Insufficient or excessive dietary carbohydrates affect gut health through change in gut microbiota and regulation of gene expression of gut epithelial cells in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

Yanpeng Zhang et al.

Summary: Dietary carbohydrate levels can affect gut health and the interactions between gut microbiota and gut epithelial cells. Low-carbohydrate diet leads to dysregulated gut microbiota and compromised metabolic function. High-carbohydrate diet can cause severe gut damage by affecting immune function of microbiota and antioxidant capacity. Major histocompatibility complex class I antigen (MR1) might be a central target for immune responses in gut epithelial cells induced by gut microbiota at different carbohydrate levels.

Immunomodulatory Properties of Probiotics and Their Derived Bioactive Compounds

Christina Thoda et al.

Summary: Immune system modulation, especially the interaction between intestinal immunity and gut microbiota, plays a crucial role in maintaining gut homeostasis. Probiotics and their bioactive compounds, such as bacteriocins and short chain fatty acids, have been shown to possess immunomodulatory properties, which can suppress inflammation and restore microbial diversity in pathological conditions. This review highlights the fundamental features of probiotics, bacteriocins, and SCFAs, their mechanisms of gut microbiota modulation, and their influence on immune cells involved in regulating gut homeostasis. It also discusses the future perspectives and challenges of their administration.

Vitamin B12 produced by Cetobacterium somerae improves host resistance against pathogen infection through strengthening the interactions within gut microbiota

Xiaozhou Qi et al.

Summary: This study found that the effect of probiotics in enhancing host resistance to pathogen infections depended on the function of -B-12 produced by an anaerobic indigenous gut microbe, Cetobacterium. Furthermore, as a gut microbial regulator, -B-12 exhibited the ability to strengthen the interactions within the gut microbiota and gut barrier tight junctions, thereby improving host resistance against pathogen infection.

Vitamin D influences gut microbiota and acetate production in zebrafish (Danio rerio) to promote intestinal immunity against invading pathogens

Xinmeng Liao et al.

Summary: This study used cyp2r1 mutant zebrafish and zebrafish fed a VD-deficient diet as VD-deficient animal models to investigate the role of VD in intestinal immunity against bacterial infection. The results showed that VD deficiency decreased the expression of antimicrobial peptides and IL-22, and increased susceptibility to bacterial infection in zebrafish. VD regulated gut microbiota composition and short-chain fatty acid production in the zebrafish intestine, leading to enhanced immunity.

The Role of the Gut Microbiota in the Relationship Between Diet and Human Health

Bryce K. Perler et al.

Summary: The interplay between diet, the gut microbiome, and host health is complex. Dietary patterns have changed significantly in Westernized nations, leading to negative health consequences. The gut microbiota interacts with diet and can impact health outcomes through metabolites produced from dietary components. This review focuses on the relationship between diet, the gut microbiota, and host health, as well as the therapeutic potential of diet for specific diseases.

Effects of in ovo feeding and dietary addition oils on growth performance and immune function of broiler chickens

Haiyan Ma et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of in ovo feeding and dietary addition of oils on growth, development, and immune function of broiler chickens. Results showed that in ovo feeding of linseed oil decreased feed intake and improved immune function, while dietary addition of linseed oil increased final body weight. The study suggests that linseed oil may have potential mechanisms for regulating immune function and growth performance in broiler chickens.

Bacterial Butyrate in Parkinson's Disease Is Linked to Epigenetic Changes and Depressive Symptoms

Aoji Xie et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the association between changes in gut microbiome and metabolites with depressive symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Lower levels of butyrate and reduced counts of specific bacterial genera are related to the severity of depressive symptoms in PD patients. The butyrate-associated methylation sites include PD risk genes and significantly overlap with epigenetic changes in PD patients' blood leucocytes and brain neurons.

Dietary carbohydrate-to-protein ratio influences growth performance, hepatic health and dynamic of gut microbiota in atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Alejandro Villasante et al.

Summary: Atlantic salmon fed a carbohydrate-rich diet showed suboptimal growth performance and metabolic disturbances. The study aimed to investigate the effects of graded levels of digestible carbohydrates on the distal intestine digesta microbiota in Atlantic salmon. The results demonstrated that feeding a high digestible carbohydrate diet led to negative effects on growth parameters and liver health, including increased lipid vacuolization and expression of fatty acid synthase. The composition of distal intestine digesta microbiota also changed with the carbohydrate-rich diet. Furthermore, certain lactic acid bacteria were found to be negatively correlated with hepatic steatosis and other liver health indicators. The potential use of lactic acid bacteria as probiotics to improve liver health in carnivorous fish fed a fatty liver-induced diet deserves further investigation.

Intestinal Cetobacterium and acetate modify glucose homeostasis via parasympathetic activation in zebrafish

Anran Wang et al.

Summary: Fish have limited capability to utilize carbohydrates compared to mammals. In this study, zebrafish fed with omnivorous and herbivorous diets showed better glucose homeostasis due to enrichment of the commensal bacterium Cetobacterium somerae, which produces acetate. Dietary supplementation of acetate promotes glucose utilization in zebrafish, and the beneficial effect of acetate and C. somerae on glucose homeostasis is mediated through parasympathetic activation. These findings suggest potential strategies for improving fish carbohydrate utilization.
