Prior Dietary Practices and Connections to a Human Gut Microbial Metacommunity Alter Re... - 0 views

  • Long-term DPs play a large role in determining the selective environment that the gut microbiota faces, ultimately influencing the composition and diversity of taxa maintained within the gut microbial community
  • Americans consuming unrestricted diets maintained less diverse fecal microbiota than those of individuals adhering to a plant-rich diet with restricted caloric intake
  • Experiments in mice have shown that multigenerational exposure to a Western diet poor in “microbiota-accessible carbohydrates” can lead to extirpation of specific bacterial lineages
  •  
    Diet is the key to gut microbe diversity.  Gut microbes are key to maintaining optimal cellular metabolism.  Nutrition can be a prescription for improving and reprogramming gut bacteria.

    women with increased gut microbiome diversity found to have increased estrogen metabolites compared to parent estrogen i.e. gut microbiome diversity in women effects estrogen metabolism.

Testosterone: More Than Having the Guts to Win the Tour de France - 0 views

  • female adult mice have microbiomes similar to those of prepubescent mice of both sexes;
  • the commensal microbial community in adult male mice significantly deviates from this shared initial pool.
  • the microbiome in castrated adult males clearly shifts away from that of normal adult males and is closer to the microbiome of females

  • The incidence of T1D in these mice is positively correlated with the “femaleness” of the microbiota
  • These results support the hypothesis that the host androgen level is influential in determining the composition of the microbiota, which in turn affects T1D initiation and progression
  • a high testosterone level enriches the microbiota for specific organisms such as segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) and Escherichia coli or Shigella–like (SECS) strains.
  • A minimum level of testosterone and specific male-enriched microbes working together upregulate M2 macrophage and IFN-γ producing T cells in pancreatic lymph nodes. Microarray data show that both the IFN-γ and IL-1β pathways are also stimulated.
  • These microbes also upregulate host testosterone
  • In four independent experiments, the authors found no universal unique “male microbiome”
  • they did find that four distinct combinations of microbial groupings (with an interesting lack of overlap at the individual family level in the four experiments) were enhanced by androgen
  • one species consists of the segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) and belongs to the Firmicutes, whereas the other is an Escherichia coli or Shigella–like (SECS) strain belonging to the Proteobacteria
  • colonization with protective microbiomes—e.g., SPF microbiota, SFB, and SECS—is positively correlated with high blood testosterone levels in male mice
  • A direct implication of this study is that probiotic administration or fecal transplantation is a theoretically possible approach to protection against T1D

  •  
    Post-menopause women with increased gut microbiome diversity found to be associated with increased urinary excretion of estrogen metabolites compared to parent estrogens.  This relationship has been shown to be associated with a reduced breast cancer risk.

  •  
    Useful biomarkers: calprotectin and lactoferrin used to follow GI inflammation.  Calprotectin is useful to follow inactive/active IBD.  It also has been show to predict recurrence and can aid in differentiation between IBD and IBS.  Lactoferrin appears to be a biomarker more useful in GI inflammation.
