Akkermansia muciniphila Adheres to Enterocytes and Strengthens the Integrity of the Epi... - 0 views

  •  
    Akkermansia muciniphila found to increase the integrity of the gut mucosal lining.  Important in gut healing and likely a good biomarker of good/bad gut health and integrity.

Gut Endotoxin Leading to a Decline IN Gonadal function (GELDING) - a novel theory for t... - 0 views

  • GELDING theory (Gut Endotoxin Leading to a Decline IN Gonadal function)
  • trans-mucosal passage of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the gut lumen into the circulation is a key inflammatory trigger underlying male hypogonadism
  • Obesity and a high fat/high calorie diet are both reported to result in changes to gut bacteria and intestinal wall permeability, leading to the passage of bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide- LPS) from within the gut lumen into the circulation (metabolic endotoxaemia), where it initiates systemic inflammation.

  • Endotoxin is known to reduce testosterone production by the testis, both by direct inhibition of Leydig cell steroidogenic pathways and indirectly by reducing pituitary LH drive, thereby also leading to a decline in sperm production.
  •  
    Ever heard of the GELDING theory?  This involves the link between LPS endotoxin from the gut and low Testosterone in obese men.

PLOS ONE: Microbial Dysbiosis in Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Patients - 0 views

  • differences in the colon microbiota in individuals with colon cancer versus those with a normal colonoscopy
  • qPCR revealed significant elevation of the Bacteroides/Prevotella population in cancer patients that appeared to be linked with elevated IL17 producing cells in the mucosa of individuals with cancer.
  • Bacteroides genus populations and more specifically those of Bacteroides fragilis, have recently been shown to produce a metalloprotease in colon cancer patients, but not in controls [12] suggesting this species sub population might favor carcinogenesis
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • It is noteworthy that among the many mechanisms that may mediate associations between microbiota and human health [21]–[22], pro-inflammatory and immune cell activation in colon mucosa are of great importance in relation to malignancy
  • B. fragilis has been shown to induce mucosal regulatory T-cell responses in the intestine involving TH17 cell recruitment in experimental models
  • the elevations of Bacteroides in the stool and/or IL17 immunoreactive cells in the normal mucosa appear to be promising sensitive markers
  •  
    A relationship between dysbiosis and colon cancer appears to be present.  Particularly an increase in Bacteroidetes and Prevotella species were found in those with colon cancer versus those without.  An inflammatory up regulation of IL-17 appears to be involved.  Whether this is a cause or effect is yet to be determined, but the presence of elevated Bacteroidetes species with increased IL17 could be used as sensitive biomarkers.

CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ENDOSCOPIC FINDINGS ASSOCIATED WITH BLASTOCYSTIS HOMINIS I... - 1 views

  • patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis experienced more severe symptoms when infected with B. hominis
  • individuals with chronic HBV infection were at increased risk of acquiring B. hominis
  • Among the 34 individuals with chronic HBV infection in this study, individuals who harbored B. hominis were more likely to have an abnormal liver function test result than those who did no
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • intense inflammatory cell infiltration, edematous lamina propria, and mucosal sloughing. However, the pathogenicity of B. hominis in human intestine has only been elucidated from case reports and a case series study

Histamine and histamine intolerance - 0 views

  • Histamine intolerance can develop through both increased availability of histamine and impaired histamine degradation
  • increased availability may be an endogenous histamine overproduction caused by allergies, mastocytosis, bacterias, gastrointestinal bleeding, or increased exogenous ingestion of histidine or histamine by food or alcohol
  • Other biogenic amines, such as putrescine, may also be involved in displacing histamine from its mucosal mucine linkage, which results in an increase of free absorbable histamine in circulation
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • the main cause of histamine intolerance is an impaired enzymatic histamine degradation caused by genetic or acquired impairment of the enzymatic function of DAO or HNMT
  • The main enzyme for metabolism of ingested histamine is diamine oxidase (DAO)
  •  
    good discussion of histamine and histamine intolerance.  All centers around diamine oxidase function (DAO).
