Butyrate

Prophylactic Role of Aloe Components, Butyrate Fermented, Micrnas, and Hyaluronan on Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and Osteoarthritis in Knee Joints

Host microbial cross talk is essential to maintain intestinal homeostasis. However, maladaptation of the response through microbial dysbiosis or defective host defense toward invasive intestinal microbial results in chronic inflammation and the mild cognitive impairment. The role of active constituents from Aloe species, fermented butyrate, and micRNAs on Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease is discussed […]

Short-chain fatty acids in the context of Parkinson’s disease

Taken together, there is strong evidence that the gastrointestinal microbiome is altered in PD and this is similarly true for the composition of the intestinal metabolome. SCFAs are increasingly studied intestinal metabolites that have shown great potential to influence disease processes in neuroinflammatory disorders. Their role for neurodegenerative movement disorders such as PD is still

Effects of Resistant Starch on Symptoms, Fecal Markers and Gut Microbiota in Parkinson’s Disease – The RESISTA-PD Trial

Clinically, we observed a reduction in non-motor symptoms load in PD + RS. The reference-based analysis of metagenomes highlighted stable alpha-diversity and beta-diversity across the three groups, including bacteria producing SCFAs. Reference-free analysis suggested punctual, yet pronounced differences in the metagenomic signature in PD + RS. RESISTA-PD highlights that a prebiotic treatment with RS is

Gut Microbial Ecosystem in Parkinson Disease: New Clinicobiological Insights from Multi‐Omics

Gut microbiome alterations in Parkinson disease (PD) have been reported repeatedly, but their functional relevance remains unclear. Fecal metabolomics, which provide a functional readout of microbial activity, have scarcely been investigated. We investigated fecal microbiome and metabolome alterations in PD, and their clinical relevance. CLICK TO REVIEW Additional article review (click to review)

Advances of Mechanisms-Related Metabolomics in Parkinson’s Disease

In this review, we briefly summarize recent findings and analyze the application of molecular metabolomics in familial and sporadic PD from genetic mutations, mitochondrial dysfunction, and dysbacteriosis. We also review metabolic biomarkers to assess the functional stage and improve therapeutic strategies to postpone or hinder the disease progression. CLICK TO REVIEW

Gut Microbiota and Metabolome Alterations Associated with Parkinson’s Disease

The most significant changes within the Parkinson’s disease group highlighted a reduction in bacterial taxa, which are linked to anti-inflammatory/neu-roprotective effects, particularly in the Lachnospiraceae family and key members,such as Butyrivibrio, Pseudobutyrivibrio, Coprococcus, andBlautia. The direct evalua-tion of fecal metabolites revealed changes in several classes of metabolites. Changeswere seen in lipids (linoleic acid, oleic acid,

Evolution of the Human Diet and Its Impact on Gut Microbiota, Immune Responses, and Brain Health

Given the tremendous amount of evidence linking neuroinflammation with neural dysfunction, it is no surprise that the Western diet has been implicated in the development of many diseases and disorders of the brain, including memory impairments, neurodegenerative disorders, and depression. In this review, we discuss each of these concepts to understand how what we eat

Astaxanthin Alleviates Ochratoxin A-Induced Cecum Injury and Inflammation in Mice by Regulating the Diversity of Cecal Microbiota and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB Signaling Pathway

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a common environmental pollutant found in a variety of foods and grains, and excessive OTA consumptioncauses serious global health effects on animals and humans. Astaxanthin (AST) is a natural carotenoid that has anti-inflammatory,antiapoptotic, immunomodulatory, antitumor, antidiabetes, and other biological activities. The present study is aimed atinvestigating the effects of AST on
