Fermented Foods, Gut Microbiota, Metabolites, Probiotics, Prebiotics and Symbiotics /

Fermented foods have been a part of human diet for almost 10,000 years, and their levelof diversity in the 21st century is substantial. The health benefits of fermented foods have beenintensively investigated; identification of bioactive peptides and microbial metabolites in fermentedfoods that can positively affect human health has consolidated this interest. Each fermented foodtypically hosts […]

Probiotics in Health and Disease: A Review of Emerging
Evidence of Potential Benefits and Harm

Emerging multi-drug resistant pathogens are the main driving force behind the efforts to find analternative treatment approach such as probiotics. Probiotics are considered living drugs that can reduce theconsumption of conventional antibiotics and improve human and animal health. Particularly, bacterial originprobiotics became increasingly popular during the last two decades as a result of the continuously

Linking circadian rhythms to microbiome-gut-brain axis in aging-associated neurodegenerative diseases

ENS, Gut Dysbiosis, Gut Microbiota /

Emerging evidence suggests that both disruption of circadian rhythms and gut dysbiosis are closely related to aging-associated neurodegenerative diseases. Over the last decade, the microbiota-gut-brain axis has been an emerging field and revolutionized studies in pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological disorders. Crosstalk between the brain and gut microbiota can be accomplished via the endocrine,

A good diet may deliver micronutrients such as vitamins A, B6, B12, C,and D and minerals such as iron, copper, zinc, and selenium that have beenimplicated to have key roles for supporting immunity with reducing host infections.Most studies have shown that once the subject was infected, the immune system willbe enhanced, which will require high

Is the Use of Glyphosate in Modern Agriculture Resulting in Increased Neuropsychiatric Conditions Through Modulation of the Gut-brain-microbiome Axis?

Enviromental, Glyphosate, Gut Dysbiosis, Gut Microbiota, Gut-Brain axis, Metabolites, Probiotics, Prebiotics and Symbiotics, Short Chain Fatty Acids /

Environmental exposure to glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides has the potential to negatively influence neurodevelopment and behavior across generations indirectly through the gut-brain-microbiome axis. Potential mechanisms by which glyphosate may elicit these effects are through the disruption of the normally symbiotic relationship of the host and the gut microbiome. Given glyphosate can kill commensal members of

Recent advances in understanding the roles of the enteric nervous system

ENS, Gut Microbiota, Gut-Brain axis, Parkinson's Disease /

The enteric nervous system (ENS), the intrinsic innervation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is a vast, mesh-like network of neurons and glia embedded within the bowel wall. Through its complex circuitry and neuronal diversity, the ENS is capable of functioning autonomously but is modulated by inputs from the central nervous system (CNS). The communication between

: The human lifespan has been significantly increased due to scientific advancements inthe management of disease; however, the health span of the aging population does not follow thesame trend. Aging is the major risk factor for multimorbidity that is derived from the progressiveloss of homeostasis, immunological and stem cell exhaustion, as well as exacerbated inflammationresponses.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by dopaminergic neuronal loss andα-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation. With the acceleration of population aging process, the incidence of PD is expected toincrease, putting a heavy burden on the whole society. Recent studies have found the alterations of gut microbiota (GM) inPD patients and the clinical relevance of
